Managing ethical misconduct and low-level corruption cases

Short, self-paced module for getting insights on managing trade-offs and consequences of ethical dilemmas in development aid projects.

The course is also available in French.

Ethical misconduct in aid programming can have serious consequences for the people and communities it is intended to help. It can lead to the misuse of resources, the erosion of public trust, and the exacerbation of existing inequalities. In some cases, it can even lead to violence and conflict.

What you'll learn

  • Learn how to address ethical misconduct and tackle low-level corruption cases head-on (gender-based violence, bribery risks, and procurement management, etc.).
  • Explore the balance between upholding integrity and achieving tangible results, fostering trust with partners while remaining fully compliant with anti-corruption policies, and navigating the complexities of respecting standards while adapting to context.
