The online course has been developed by UNDP the Democratic Governance Group, Bureau for Development Policy, and the Learning Resources Centre of the Office of Human Resources, Bureau of Management, with support from practitioners and offices around the world.

The course builds on UNDP’s accumulated knowledge and experience on anti-corruption programming and has benefited from substantive contributions from partners and donors including UNODC, U4, NORAD, AusAID and UN Staff College in Turin. 

The course is divided into four lessons. These include:

• Concepts and definitions of corruption and anti-corruption.
• Linkages between anti-corruption and development.
• Norms, standards and frameworks at the global, regional and country level to fight corruption.
• UN’s niche in anti-corruption programming using UN Convention against Corruption as an entry point.

This course provides an overview of current issues and practices in preventing corruption in public administration for public officials who have responsibility for corruption prevention policies or practices (public servants) as well as students of public administration and other areas of social sciences.

The online training course “Corruption Prevention” was developed by the Division for Public Administration and Development Management (DPADM) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), in cooperation with the UNDP’s Global Programme on Anti-corruption for Development Effectiveness (PACDE). It complements UNDP’s online course on Basics on Anti-corruption prevention 

The course focuses on the prevention roles of legal and regulatory frameworks, effective institutions and citizens. There is a final scored assessment at the end of the course, but there are unscored assessment tasks throughout the course that focus on the key learning outcomes of the course. References for further reading on key topics are also included.

Topics Included:

• Corruption and Prevention
• Corruption in Public Administration.
