Overview:

Duration: Two weeks

How do you recognize poor ethics, lack of accountability or corruption when those responsible are doing everything possible to conceal their acts from you and your organization? Your  job  and your  organization’s  credibility  may  be  at  stake if malfeasance or malpractice is exposed. This programme will help you to identify risks and will suggest toolkits, solutions and implementation plans to minimize that risk. If you are involved in ethics or accountability in public financial management, good governance, public  procurement reform or combating corruption, this two week programme will provide the accumulation of knowledge, skills and practical solutions. A key element of this programme will be the exploration of the challenges posed by cultural differences and political pressures in relation to ethical behaviour and appropriate accountability.
