Capacity Building Programme on Meaningful Youth Engagement in Anti-Corruption Work
Course Overview
The ICAC, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA) co-developed the “Policy Guide for National Anti-Corruption Authorities on Meaningful Youth Engagement (MYE) in Anti-Corruption Work” (“Policy Guide”) in 2023 with a view to encouraging and supporting global Anti-Corruption Authorities (ACAs) in meaningfully engaging young people as a powerful force in the fight against corruption. To put the Policy Guide into practice, this capacity building programme is organised to comprehensively explore how MYE can drive positive impact on shaping the future of anti-corruption efforts as promoted in the Policy Guide and reflected in ACAs' current MYE policies and programmes.
What We Offer
The capacity building programme covers a range of essential topics related to MYE in anti-corruption initiatives, including:
The conceptual framework of MYE (as stipulated in the Policy Guide).
Integration of MYE into work of ACAs: The Hong Kong ICAC Experience*.
A holistic approach in planning, implementation and evaluation of MYE programmes.
Knowledge and experience sharing of key MYE initiatives and youth anti-corruption education programmes across the globe.
Capacity building for youth in support of MYE.
The programme will include presentations, dialogues with youth leaders, group discussions, interactive activities along with practical exercises such as collaborative crafting of MYE plans.
*To complement the Policy Guide, the ICAC published a "Practical Guide for Youth Anti-corruption Education", sharing its approaches, strategies and practical experience of implementing youth-focused anti-corruption education programmes. The Practical Guide is a key resource to equip course participants to turn knowledge into action.
