1.     COURSE OVERVIEW

“Ethics” are principles that guide behaviour, while “integrity” suggests that we should carry out ethical principles in our daily lives and activities, rather than espousing an ideal and then doing something contradictory.

The course aims to strengthen competences in ethical reflection and reasoning and offers methods for integrity management and corruption prevention in organizations.

Public integrity refers to a devotion to shared ethical standards and values for sustaining public interests over private ones in the public sector

Further, this integrity training for public officials aims to raise awareness about integrity standards and corruption prevention in the public sector. They can focus on various areas including codes of conduct and ethics, conflict of interest, ancillary activities, pre and post-employment rules, proactive disclosure and others.

2.  COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the course, participants are expected to:

• Collect reflected experience of the complexity of ethical reflection and decision
• Improve ethical literacy by extending concepts and vocabulary for ethical reasoning
• Gain practice with structured methods to confront dilemma situations
• Advance knowledge of methods and instruments of ethics and integrity management in organizations
• Understand the concept of organizational integrity and its role in building trust and preventing corruption

3. TARGETED PARTICIPANTS

The integrity and ethics management for an institutional integrity committee can be aimed at:

• The sectoral level or at the general level of training public officials. One challenge here is that training may overburden employees, so a common practice is to provide induction training for new employees or training for senior staff who can then pass on the knowledge to their junior colleagues
• Members of institutional integrity committee of public institutions and Anti-Corruption Commissions
• Professionals responsible for ethics and integrity management in their organizations / institutions, both in public and private sectors
• Employees / line managers / team leaders who serve as a point of contact for their colleagues / subordinates
• All participants interested in being better prepared to build their personal and organizational integrity
• New Civil Servants;
• Public officials in areas of risk, such as tax, police, procurement;
• Senior civil servants, such as heads of departments.
