Examples of donor agencies’ online reporting mechanisms
Many donors have established complaints mechanisms in recent years to allow for the reporting of wrongdoings in development cooperation. Such mechanisms typically offer several options for reporting corruption, including online reporting. In general, the technical option chosen for reporting matters less than the safety, independence and protection offered to whistleblowers. It is also important to communicate and provide whistleblowers with some guarantee that the report will be acted upon, to build trust in the credibility of the reporting system.
