Join us online on Tuesday 16 January, 14:00 GMT for the fifth webinar in Transparency International Global Health's series in partnership with USAID and the Global Network for Anti-corruption, transparency and accountability in health (GNACTA).

Weak public financial management systems leave the door open to corruption, depriving the health sector of money that could otherwise be used to treat patients and improve lives.

In this upcoming webinar we will explore how we can tackle corruption throughout the public financial management cycle in the health sector. Janine Mans (DAI) will be joined by experts from the International Budget Partnership, African Freedom of Information Centre, and INTOSAI-IDI.
