#SouthSudan is among the countries that have received loans from the @IMFnews to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The IMF recently approved US$ 174.2 million for emergency assistance. https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2021/03/31/pr2194-south-sudan-imf-execboard-approves-us-174-2m-emergency-assistance-address-covid19

The investigation by @newhumanitarian & @AJEnglish makes the case for anti-corruption efforts to be at the heart of the pandemic recovery, so critical funds reach those who need them the most. We talk about this in our #TrackingTrillions series. https://www.transparency.org/en/tracking-the-trillions

The pandemic & its impact on human rights has made many people acutely dependent on @IMFnews funds & has also increased the risk of funds being lost to corruption or captured by elites. Govts must "keep the recepts" but those must be publicly accessible, comprehensive & credible.
Together with @hrw, we recently assessed the effectiveness of @IMFnews’s anti-corruption approach during the pandemic by analysing how well four governments carried through on the measures included in their loan agreements.
