The Transparency International Secretariat is currently seeking a Thematic Specialist, Corrupt Money Flows (m/f/d) to conduct and coordinate research to support TI’s strategic priority of combatting corrupt money flows. In particular, the Thematic Specialist will more specifically contribute to two projects contributing to advance this agenda.
First, the ‘Strengthened Enforcement Capacities of Public Authorities’ (STEP EU) project, funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs (DG HOME) Internal Security Fund, aim at consolidating a comprehensive data landscape for the prevention and early detection of corruption and other financial crimes, at strengthening EU Member States’ capacity to detect, investigate and prosecute cross-border corruption and at enhancing the cooperation between competent authorities at a national and regional level. It will be co-implemented with TI chapters in nine European countries as well as TI EU: France, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain.
The second project, “Region-Wide Support to the EU Southern Neighbourhood to Improve Anti-Corruption Policy and Operational Outcomes “ is funded by the United Nation Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) and focuses on asset recovery in the Southern Neighbourhood with activities aimed at, for example, strengthening the reporting, investigation and prosecution of acts of corruption and facilitating the establishing or strengthening of effective asset recovery mechanisms in the EU Southern Neighbourhood countries.
The position is currently estimated to start in January 2024 for two years.
