Global, with a focus on Kenya, Mexico and Pakistan
2019-2023
To equip young graduates with ethical mindsets at the start of their careers in the private sector and empower them to become a driving force for ethical business
To create a business environment where corruption is resisted and no longer tolerated, it is essential that the next generation of business leaders is educated on the risks of corruption and the ways to mitigate and prevent them. By nurturing a dialogue between academia and the private sector on business integrity, the Global Integrity Education project aims to equip young graduates with ethical mindsets and expose them early to the ethical dilemmas they may later face during their professional lives.
16 localized UNODC university modules on integrity, ethics and anti-corruption were developed as teaching resources and are available under resources
Three localized, self-paced online training courses for lecturers in English and in Spanish were created, guiding lecturers on how to teach the modules at their universities
More than 395 lecturers from 18 universities in Kenya, Mexico and Pakistan were trained on how to teach the UNODC university modules to their students
38,370 students have been taught the modules as part of their university studies and now have an increased awareness of ethical issues and knowledge of how to prevent and counter corruption in the private sector
124 guest lectures on business integrity were delivered in university classes by practitioners from the private sector
Over 40 university students who have been taught the UNODC university modules joined the private sector as “Ethics ambassadors” to become a driving force for ethical business
More than 20 companies in Kenya, Mexico and Pakistan took on board students to develop and implement an innovative on-the job anti-corruption training to strengthen the corporate culture of integrity
More than 670 employees from companies participated in on the-job integrity trainings based on the UNODC university modules to strengthen the corporate culture of integrity
This project is funded by the Siemens Integrity Initiative.
