Introduction
Corruption is a fundamental cause of poverty, conflict, and state fragility. It undermines a state’s ability to effectively deliver public services, uphold the rule of law, and foster a conducive business environment. Furthermore, corruption presents a significant obstacle to sustainable economic and social development. Research has consistently demonstrated that marginalised communities are disproportionately affected by its consequences.

The course examines the underlying factors driving corruption and their impact on development. Participants will explore strategies to address these root causes and gain insights into international initiatives, legislation, and agreements aimed at combatting corruption. The course presents examples of integrity policies that prevent corrupt practices by fostering a culture of ethics within public institutions, and ensuring that governments operate in the best interest of their citizens. Additionally, various policy instruments, including codes of conduct and whistleblower protection regulations, will be discussed.

The programme includes a workshop on integrity dilemmas, in which participants share experiences, challenges, and practical insights from their professional environment. By engaging with fellow professionals from diverse backgrounds, participants will broaden their perspective on integrity and anti-corruption efforts worldwide.

Key Information
This course is aimed at professionals involved in anti-corruption, transparency and accountability processes concerning development and governance. Participants come from national, regional and local government, knowledge institutes, NGOs and donor and development organisations.
