Eric Umar (Associate Professor and Head of Department, Kamuzu University of Health Sciences) and Dina Balabanova (Professor of Health Systems and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) present the most recent findings from their GI ACE project Addressing corruption in the crisis response of the Malawian health system.

This project addresses corruption in crisis responses – Covid, Cyclone Freddy, and cholera – in the Malawian health system.

The research team are holistically mapping the types of corruption that arise or worsen during crises to build a thorough understanding of the drivers and enablers that hamper the health systems’ emergency response. This will provide the basis upon which robust and effective anti-corruption interventions in support of emergency responses can be developed.
