Fund for Constitutional Government
Project Title
For research and analysis on U.S. arms-trade standards and practices in the Middle East and beyond
Date
Mar. 07, 2024
Duration
29 months
Description
The U.S. is the most influential actor in the global arms trade, a trade which affects peace and security outcomes both in conflict contexts and globally. U.S. standards and practices relevant to corruption risks are therefore of significant importance to Transparency International, the world’s leading non-governmental anti-corruption organization. Together with its international chapters, Transparency International’s Defence and Security program will undertake research on arms-trade decision-making and loopholes in implementation of the U.S. Conventional Arms Transfer policy regarding the MENA region, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Building on earlier Corporation-support work, it will provide new evidence-based recommendations for addressing risks both within the U.S. defense sector and in other countries that supply arms globally so as to inform policy debates, reduce the role that defense corruption plays in conflict, and enhance stability globally.

Project Title
For a project to build an interactive mapping of peace and security foundation grants
Date

Duration
6 months
Description
Since 2015, the Peace and Security Funders Group (a sponsored project of the Fund for Constitutional Government) has produced the Peace and Security Funding Index (the Index) in partnership with Candid, a nonprofit that serves the social sector. The Index provides an overview of the breakdown of funding for peace and security work across issues, strategies, regions, and populations, and has increased the clarity and the profile of funding in the peace and security field. However, there are limitations to its utility. Since the Index cannot be produced until all the data have been collected and does not provide access to individual grant data, it cannot depict real-time information on the current priorities and funding areas of foundations. With this grant, Candid will build an interactive custom map that will connect grants data to custom categories, allowing searches on information that is up to date and very specific. Timely data will allow for greater transparency in the field and facilitate more responsive and effective grantmaking.
