Dear Supporter,

Killer Corruption, a new op-ed by The Sentry’s Co-Founder John Prendergast published today in Project Syndicate, warns that the failure to fight corruption during the COVID-19 pandemic could undermine urgent response efforts. John details how to protect billions of dollars that are now being deployed across Africa to provide care and save lives.

“During a pandemic, there is a temptation to focus solely on protecting public health and fostering economic recovery. But failure to continue – and even intensify – the fight against corruption could severely undermine those efforts. Only by implementing credible consequences for corrupt-related disruption of COVID-19 responses can we ensure that government officials and business elites respond to the urgent needs of people, rather than profiting from their misery.”

I encourage you to read and share Killer Corruption.

Sincerely,
Brad Brooks-Rubin
Managing Director
