Accountability in times of war: Insights from Yemen

Building on insights from the latest publication Accountability mechanisms in Yemen, the event will discuss what is needed at different levels and from various actors to support reforms of the Supreme National Authority for Combating Corruption, the Central Organisation for Control and Auditing, and the High Authority for Tender Control.
