OUR GLOBAL MOVEMENT
COVID-19 has been unprecedented, throwing the world into disarray and having a profound toll on millions through the direct loss of life, rising unemployment and increased instability. Nonetheless, lurking beneath the headlines this pandemic has fertilised opportunities for corruption, whether it be in public procurement, the abuse of human life or the exploiting of opportunities that have directly arisen from the pandemic for personal gain.
On International Anti-Corruption Day (9th December), Transparency International UK will be hosting a 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.
Date: International Anti-Corruption Day - Wednesday 9 December 2020
Time: 18:00 - 19:00 GMT
Chair: Dominic Martin (Former British Ambassador to the OECD, VP Government & Regulatory Affairs - Equinor)
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 (Senior Research Fellow - Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office)
Please join us on Wednesday 9th December for what will be a highly engaging evening.

COVID-19 has created a challenging environment for all and without our donors, the work that Transparency International UK does in the fight against corruption would not be possible. Now - more than ever - we need your support and therefore a suggested donation of £5 is requested for attending this event (although any amount below or above this will be accepted). Thank you for your understanding.

In May 2016 the UK hosted an Anti-Corruption Summit, bringing civil society together with over 40 governments and 5 international organisations for the first high-level meeting of its kind. The Summit generated almost 700 individual commitments to anti-corruption and transparency, and all governments signed a communiqué which recognised that tackling corruption is vital for protecting human rights.
Just over a year since the Summit, Transparency International UK is bringing together experts and stakeholders from the anti-corruption and human rights communities to discuss complex cross-cutting issues at a panel event on corruption and human rights.
Join us on 7 September for this exciting event.
