Course: Anti-Corruption in the context of the 2030 Agenda
The 2030 Agenda was a major breakthrough for the anti-corruption movement, as it emphasizes the importance of promoting transparency, accountability and anti-corruption for sustainable development, and makes an explicit link between corruption, peace and just and inclusive societies.
This course has been developed by UNSSC and the UN Development Programme (UNDP). The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) provided significant input into the course content. U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), and the International Anti-corruption Academy (IACA) also contributed to the course content. The free-of-charge delivery of this course in 2020 is financially supported by UNDP and UNODC.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will:
- Demonstrate a sound understanding of the 2030 Agenda and articulate the key role that anti-corruption plays in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
- Demonstrate a clear understanding of the dual role anti-corruption plays in the 2030 Agenda, both as a focus area in itself under SDG 16 and as a prerequisite for achieving the other SDGs.
- Identify different methods, tools and best practices to mainstream anti-corruption initiatives in sustainable development plans and programmes.
- Identify practical tools and best practices to harmonize the monitoring of sustainable development and anti-corruption initiatives.
- Be able to articulate the need for aligning sustainable development and anti-corruption efforts.
