While many studies on corruption in emergencies address challenges with emergency spending, this research further considers the gaps in our understanding of these issues and provides recommendations for interventions to make emergency responses less vulnerable to fraud and corruption. The research adopts a framework for analysis that examines the regulatory and policy landscape and practices for emergency responses focusing on four dimensions: people, processes, challenges, and interventions; in five selected countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Hungary, South Africa, Nigeria; and also looks at the World Bank as a donor.
