Four suspected cases
This Helpdesk answer describes four recent cases of suspected corruption involving multilateral organisations with a view to identifying the facts, the triggers and underlying factors, the impact on stakeholders, and the response from these organisations and donors. Most multilateral organisations have anti-corruption measures in place but reports of corruption persist. Specific cases are often undisclosed, with investigative journalism as the primary information source.
Based on these four cases, it concludes that while the manifestation of corruption will often differ according to the mandate and structure of the multilateral organisation, there are certain commonalities, including challenges faced working with third parties and a failure to heed early warnings.
