Some of our seminars, workshops and anti-corruption events bring together anti-corruption officers, scholars in communication, policy studies, and the allied social sciences to discuss and debate the role of communication approaches and techniques in bolstering anti-corruption efforts. Our events provide opportunities to deepen understanding of how corruption in Africa works and methods of combating it.
Well trained journalists, informed and ethical in their work, are vital to telling the corruption story.To continue that progress in the years to come we need to support media professional development. We provide bespoke training for journalists.
