As part of a broader analysis of corruption in emergencies, the U4 Anti-Corruption
Resource Centre initiated a dialogue on the role(s) of the media. On 30
May 2006, a working meeting held at Norad offices in Oslo brought together
donors, NGOs and journalists, including media practitioners from Sri Lanka,
Liberia and Nepal. The purpose was to draw on actual case studies to suggest
ways in which humanitarian agencies and the media can mutually support
responsible coverage of corruption in emergency aid. Recommendations to
donors, humanitarian agencies, and both local and international media
are presented at the end of this report.
