A/HRC/25/27 tenders for privatization or third party delivery being given on a non-competitive basis. There have been several regional and international efforts to combat corruption.35 Measures can be implemented to prevent corruption, such as rotating staff in highly influential positions within public service governance, regularly training and assessing staff, and ensuring free access to information concerning contentious issues such as tendering out of services and budgetary records. D. Conflicts, disasters and countries in transition 53. Conflict, post-conflict situations and disasters pose particular challenges to the effective functioning of any public service, which might be in a state of suspension, fragmented operation, or at worst, complete decimation. Humanitarian agencies can provide invaluable assistance during periods when there might otherwise be nothing in place. In addition, when States enter the post-conflict or post-disaster phase, it can take many years to instil trust in service users when rebuilding administrative functions. Good governance principles are particularly important in these fragile situations, ensuring that the foundation of any emerging government administration is one of integrity, transparency and capacity.36 V.
