Integrity in Practice: Real Tools for Real Policy Problems
Corruption is often treated as a side-topic in public policy debates, yet in practice it is the line between effective policies that flourish and ambitious reforms that fail. Whether your focus is climate policy, social welfare, urban development, digital governance, or any other policy domain, this seminar will equip you with an essential skill set: recognizing the hidden links between policies and corrupt incentives, understanding the range of corruption-resistant interventions that countries around the world are experimenting with, and gaining insights into the political and institutional realities that shape implementation.
From lobbying and influence practices to outright corruption and money laundering, the seminar will draw on concrete cases, introduce new ways to measure integrity risks, and explore some of the most innovative tools, such as data analytics, corruption risk management, business integrity, and more. Expect a highly applied session that confronts the sometimes uncomfortable truth about what works, what doesn’t, and why.
Join us to discover why integrity competence is not just an academic concern, it is a strategic advantage for every public policy practitioner
