The Summer School is designed to bring together students from various disciplines with anti-corruption practitioners to foster innovative approaches to curbing corruption in sectors such as health, education, justice, water and sanitation and climate action.
The cases of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Afghanistan and Indonesia will serve as examples of how corruption negatively influences development and reconstruction while threatening security and undermining peacebuilding. A key element of the course is that the participants are expected to produce a “roadmap” to fight a specific corruption problem, using governance data with linkages to the SDG framework. At the end of each learning session, the participants are required to answer a few short questions relating to their own corruption problem for which they are developing a road map. In answering these questions, the participants identify key players who can help them, map out relevant indicators and datasets for assessing and measuring corruption, and come up with an advocacy strategy.
The Winter School is offered as a partnership between Transparency International (TI), the Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (IFHV) at Ruhr University Bochum, and Afghanistan Public Policy Research Organization (APPRO).
By the end of this course the participants will:
- Understand the scale, nature and cost of corruption on politics, economics, and society.
- Be familiar with a range of theoretical approaches to measuring and tackling corruption.
- Learn about the various stakeholders involved in governance reform, their competing interests as well as develop skills to generate the kind evidence-based advocacy that can drive policy reform.
- Know about the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the SDGs, and particularly its governance facets.
- Develop familiarity with a number of typologies of indicators and datasets, as well as experience working hands-on with several actual governance indices.
- Acquire skills to conduct analysis of sectoral value chains and integrity risks.
- Be able to develop their own policy monitoring and evaluation frameworks that can be applied to different policy areas.
