Roslyn Hees is Senior Advisor for the Transparency International Secretariat and is currently leading a programme at Transparency International (TI) on Preventing Corruption in Humanitarian Assistance. This programme has already developed a Corruption Risk Map for humanitarian assistance, published jointly in July 2006 by the Humanitarian Policy Group of the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), Transparency International and the Christian Michelsen Institute. The subsequent phase of this programme aims to develop a Handbook of good practices for preventing or combating corruption in humanitarian relief and reconstruction operations. TI will be assisted in this programme by the Feinstein International Center of Tufts University and ODI’s Humanitarian Policy Group. Roslyn has worked with TI since 1997, as Director for Africa and the Middle East Department (2000-2002) as well as advising on evaluation and fundraising on a pro-bono basis. Prior to this she worked with the World Bank (1979-1997) as a project officer and manager for human development operations in the Asia/Pacific and Middle East/North Africa regions and with the UNDP in Haiti (1975-1978). Roslyn holds a MPA from the John F. Kennedy School of Harvard University as well as a MA from the School of Advanced International Studies of the Johns Hopkins University and a BA from McGill University.
