Course Overview
“Corruption begets more corruption, and fosters a corrosive culture of impunity.”
— UN Secretary-General, António Guterres

Every year $1 trillion is paid in bribes while an estimated $2.6 trillion are stolen annually through corruption – a sum equivalent to more than 5 per cent of the global GDP. In developing countries, according to the United Nations Development Programme, funds lost to corruption are estimated at 10 times the amount of official development assistance. Corruption is a serious crime that can undermine social and economic development in all societies. No country, region or community is immune. This year UNODC and UNDP have developed a joint global campaign, focusing on how corruption affects education, health, justice, democracy, prosperity and development. 

This course will provide a clear understanding of the strategies that can be employed to overcome the negative effects of corruption by utilising the latest information and methods implemented in both the governmental and international level by international organisations and governments alike.
