About This Event
“Measure your integrity reforms against peers who face the same pressures.”
A multi-day, in-person peer-review and dialogue programme on anti-corruption reform, including business and financial-sector integrity. You will present and review reform progress with peers from across the region, test your approach against the UNCAC and regional commitments, and leave with practical next steps.
What You'll Explore
Structured peer feedback on a live integrity or anti-corruption reform
A gap map of your framework against UNCAC and AU commitments
A sequenced integrity action plan with owners and indicators
Comparative practice notes on asset declarations and conflicts rules
A regional network of peers working on the same reform challenges
Who Should Attend
Open to all qualifying staff, particularly: Governance and Integrity Officers, Compliance Heads, Board Secretaries, Internal Audit Heads, Ethics Officers, Legal Counsel.
Why This Course Matters
Honest Peer Review
Peers from comparable institutions review your reforms and ask the questions insiders tend to avoid. That challenge surfaces weaknesses early, while they are still cheap to fix.
Financial Integrity
Central banks sit where corruption proceeds try to enter the financial system. Stronger integrity controls in your institution and sector make those proceeds harder to hide and easier to trace.
Regional Momentum
Annual plenaries and periodic regional dialogues keep reform on the agenda between meetings. Sustained contact with peers makes it easier to hold to your own reform timetable.
Programme
Day 1
Reform landscape: UNCAC, AUCPCC & regional commitments
You will review the international and regional anti-corruption commitments your country has made, and map where your institution's integrity framework meets them and where it still falls short.
Day 2
Peer review: business & financial-sector integrity
You will present or review a reform case in structured peer-review sessions, testing measures on conflicts of interest, asset declarations, procurement and financial-sector integrity against regional practice.
Day 3
Regional dialogue, lessons learned & action planning
You will draw lessons from the peer reviews into a short, sequenced action plan for your institution, with clear owners and indicators you can report on at the next regional dialogue.
Standards & Faculty Benchmark
UNCAC
The UN Convention against Corruption and its Implementation Review Mechanism for peer review.
AU Convention on Combating Corruption
The African Union convention setting regional commitments on preventing and combating corruption.
OECD Recommendation on Public Integrity
A framework for building a coherent, risk-based public integrity system across institutions.
Your country's anti-corruption record is reviewed against UNCAC and regional conventions, and investors and partners read those reviews. Grounding your institution's reforms in the same frameworks makes your progress visible and credible in the reviews that matter.
