Outreach and Communication Program for the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC)

Support private actors’ integrity efforts by educating present and future generations of business and public leaders and better informing the corporate community of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC)

The project aimed to enhance companies’ knowledge of how UNCAC can make a difference in their daily work both internally and in their interaction with public counterparts, and to encourage the business community to turn their anti-corruption commitments into action by bringing their integrity programs in line with the universal principles of UNCAC.

The project also sought to support educational institutions in preparing the next generation of public and business leaders for the challenge of making ethical decisions.

This was achieved by:

• Creating and disseminating a structured outreach and communication programme, reaching out to private companies, particularly Global Compact business participants;
• Developing a comprehensive academic learning course on the UNCAC and its implication for public administrators and private operators to be embedded in curricula of business, law and public administration schools.
