Course: Integrity & Anti-Corruption

Corruption is one of the root causes of poverty, conflict and state fragility. It undermines the states’ ability to effectively deliver services and maintain the rule of law, affects the business climate and stands in the way of sustainable economic and social development. Moreover, international research has repeatedly shown that marginalised people suffer the most from corruption.

This course explores the different drivers of corruption and their impact on development. We will discuss approaches to address these root causes and learn about international initiatives, legislation and agreements. Moreover, we will then focus on integrity policies that can prevent corruption by promoting a culture of integrity in public institutions and giving citizens the certainty that governments are working in their best interests. In addition, we will discuss various policy instruments such as a code of conduct and a whistleblower regulation. Lastly, in a workshop on integrity dilemmas, we will share experiences from the workplace.
