GENERAL CORRUPTION RISK APPROACHES APPLICABLE TO THE HEALTH SECTOR OVERVIEW OF ACTORS

Basis for anti-corruption measures: risk catalogue and stakeholder analysis

The result of the CRA is a risk catalogue that rates all the identified risks based on the likelihood of their materialization and their potential impact. 

The next chart shows an example of a non- Health catalogue (UNDP 2012), indicating the ratings as follows: A=acute, H= high, M=medium, L=low

 

  Likelihood Consequences      
Risk Frequency Vulnerability Economic Reputation Culture
False invoices on small amounts are produced and approved without controls. H A M M H
Procurement staff accept bribes in relation to procurement and tenders. M M H H H
Drivers use vehicles for own profit (transport of goods or people). H A L M M
Less or substandard goods are received. Difference is skimmed off in collusion with suppliers. Kickbacks are received in return for award of contracts. M H M M M
Companies owned by field and HQ staff members used for invoicing for goods or works. H H M L M
Companies owned by field and HQ staff members used for bidding on tenders. H H M L M
Theft of goods from warehouses M A L M M

This result is the basis for designing adequate anti-corruption measures. Additionally, it is helpful to conduct a stakeholder analysis in order to identify potential supporters and opponents of measures to be implemented.
