Delays. Slow processes. Extra costs. Unfair advantages for those who can afford them.
Facilitation payments. They’re small, unofficial—the seeds for more serious forms of corruption.
These payments can block humanitarian aid and create reputational risks for companies trying to do the right thing.
But what if companies joined forces to stop them?
Invited by the Collective Action at the Basel Institute, we wrote a new blog post:
🔗 How Companies Can Unite to Fight Facilitation Payments – and Protect Humanitarian Impact
It covers:
→ How these payments can hurt humanitarian action
→ How collective action can shift the tide
→ What companies can do—starting now
If your organisation operates in high-risk areas or supports humanitarian efforts, this is for you.
