This past year has been heavily defined by one thing: COVID-19.
The pandemic has been unprecedented, throwing the world into disarray and having a profound impact on millions through the direct loss of life, rising unemployment and increased instability. But beneath these headlines, the crisis has also given rise to opportunities for corruption.
On International Anti-Corruption Day (Wednesday, 9th December), Transparency International UK will be hosting a virtual panel event that will bring a broad global perspective on the impact this pandemic has had on health, stability and accountability in different contexts and the corruption challenges that have manifest. Our Annual Lecture - which usually takes place on International Anti-Corruption Day - has been rescheduled for March 2021.
Chair: Dominic Martin (Former Director at the Cabinet Office, Director of Prosperity at the FCO and British Ambassador to the OECD (2008-11))
Panellists:
Major General Gary Deakin (Deputy Chief of Staff – Plans, NATO Joint Forces Command, Naples)
Sheila Masinde (Executive Director of Transparency International Kenya)
Professor Heather Marquette (Professor in Development Politics, International Development Department, University of Birmingham)
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, 9th December for what will be a highly engaging evening.
