To many, corruption and financial crimes may seem like abstract concepts. But their impact is very concrete affecting the everyday lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world. They undermine elections, democracy, and the rule of law. They erode human rights and hinder social inclusion. In some regions, they contribute to insecurity and help fuel terrorism. And virtually everywhere, they ultimately curtail sustainable development.
As a multidimensional problem, corruption and financial crime need to be tackled through holistic approaches and multi-stakeholder strategies.
Our anti-corruption programmes sensitize participants to the complexity of this scourge, their diverse drivers and far-reaching consequences. Participants, spanning governments, civil society organizations and media, learn to identify strategies, develop and design context specific approaches and acquire concrete tools to prevent and counter these crimes. And they emerge from our programmes feeling empowered and equipped to promote a culture of accountability and integrity.
Our financial crime programmes take a comprehensive approach to build the capacity of relevant institutions and stakeholders to efficiently recognize, measure, and respond to financial crime.
As a youth of Africa, I feel empowered to tackle corruption and stand up for our rights.
