This research is essential for the design of tailored and impactful interventions. The use of behavioural insights can increase the impact of anti-corruption initiatives, for example, by correcting misperceptions or addressing perceived social norms. The research is also essential to ensure crisis responses do not exacerbate or fuel corruption risks. \n\nUltimately, the team will provide detailed guidance on developing and implementing high-impact, technologically and politically feasible strategies to address corruption in the crisis response of the health system in Malawi. \n\n### Project collaborators\n\nOur team looks forward to working with:\n\n*   Institutional partners in Malawi, including the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Ombudsman.\n*   Professor Eric Umar, an expert specialist in health system governance from the [Kamuzu University of Health Sciences](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.kuhes.ac.mw\u002Fass-professor-eric-umar\u002F), Malawi. \n*   Professor Dina Balabanova, a renowned expert in the field of corruption and anti-corruption in health systems from the [London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lshtm.ac.uk\u002Faboutus\u002Fpeople\u002Fbalabanova.dina). \n*   Dr Maqueda López, from the EssentialTech Centre of the [Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.epfl.ch\u002Fen\u002F) (EPFL), an innovation centre specialising in harnessing science and technology to address extreme vulnerability.\n*   Professor Thorsten Chmura, an expert in experimental and behavioural economics at [Nottingham Trent University.](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ntu.ac.uk\u002Fstaff-profiles\u002Fbusiness\u002Fthorsten-chmura)\n\n### Learn more\n\nSee previous research by our Prevention, Research and Innovation team (formerly “Public Governance) under an earlier edition of GI-ACE programme on:\n\n*   [Leveraging informal networks for anti-corruption in East Africa](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fpublications\u002Fresearch-case-2)\n*   [Targeting corrupt behaviours in a Tanzanian hospital through a behavioural approach](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fpublications\u002Fresearch-case-1)","2024-02-28","corruption-risks-and-health-crises-in-malawi-new-gi-ace-research-project-2592","Corruption risks and health crises in Malawi: new GI-ACE research project","https:\u002F\u002Fjam.baselgovernance.org\u002Fapi\u002Fassets\u002Ff09731d9-f4d4-4028-b147-2f558d11f003?width=1000&height=650&format=webp&quality=80",[],[50,51],"Prevention"," Research and Innovation",[53],"Research",[],2592,[57],"Prevention Research and Innovation",[53],[],[],[22],[],"03bebfd8-0b40-4a2a-820d-b9d9c13b9de6","2024-02-28T17:01:33.000Z","3d9ff205-1640-4f34-b5b6-86977f51bbd6","2026-05-07T21:29:55.000Z",[],"\u002Fresources\u002Fnews\u002Fcorruption-risks-and-health-crises-in-malawi-new-gi-ace-research-project-2592",{"id":70,"body":71,"status":6,"type":10,"date":72,"slug":73,"title":74,"image":75,"countries":76,"topic":77,"activity":79,"tags":82,"nid":83,"topics":84,"activities":85,"authors":86,"images":87,"websites":88,"area":20,"programme":20,"language":20,"translations":89,"translation_of":20,"user_created":63,"date_created":90,"user_updated":91,"date_updated":92,"content":93,"link":94},9958,"Both in investment and in commercial arbitration, it is becoming more and more frequent that a party raises the objection of corruption, money laundering, fraud or bid rigging.\n\nThe challenges this presents for arbitrators and parties are considerable and were the topic of a conference organised by the University of Basel in cooperation with the Basel Institute on Governance.\n\nThe two-day event took place in Basel on 11-12 January 2018 in Basel.

On the one hand, corruption cannot be condoned. On the other hand, parties should not be allowed to free themselves of their obligations easily.

It also showcased concrete challenges in ensuring security and safety in and around football stadia: who carries what responsibility and where are the implementation boundaries between clubs, municipalities and the state.\n\nThe panelists included President of F.C. Basel, Bernhard Burgener, Director for Safety of the Canton Basel Stadt, President of the “Fan-Arbeit Schweiz”, Andi Schneider, and SP Member of Parliament of Basel-Stadt, Tanja Soland. all of whom contributed to the lively exchange of opinions on the topic.  \n\nChallenges that affect the football sport as illustrated in this panel discussion are not limited to issues of violence, but include also sports betting, financial integrity and corruption, and the governance of sports organisations, amongst others. The Basel Institute has dedicated a substantial amount of work to some of these themes, including during 2010-2013 when it played a key role in supporting the reform process of FIFA as the Secretariat of the Independent Governance Committee under the direct leadership of Professor Pieth.\n\nBased on this track record and with a view to advancing the cause of good governance in sport, the Institute in January 2017 also joined the founding group of members of the Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA). SIGA focuses its attention on good governance, financial integrity and sports betting, and is well placed as an organisation in bringing together a wide range of stakeholders committed to ensuring that sporting organisations remain credible actors in the world of sports.","2017-10-05","mark-pieth-moderates-panel-at-university-of-basel-on-football-stadium-safety-109","Mark Pieth moderates panel at University of Basel on football stadium safety",[],[14],[80,81],[],109,[],[80,81],[],[],[22],[],"2022-05-26T22:58:09.000Z",[],"\u002Fresources\u002Fnews\u002Fmark-pieth-moderates-panel-at-university-of-basel-on-football-stadium-safety-109",{"left":247,"top":247,"width":248,"height":248,"rotate":247,"vFlip":249,"hFlip":249,"body":250},0,20,false,"\u003Cpath fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M17 10a.75.75 0 0 1-.75.75H5.612l4.158 3.96a.75.75 0 1 1-1.04 1.08l-5.5-5.25a.75.75 0 0 1 0-1.08l5.5-5.25a.75.75 0 1 1 1.04 1.08L5.612 9.25H16.25A.75.75 0 0 1 17 10\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\u002F>",1780676388881]
