Anti-Fraud and Anti-Corruption Framework Awareness

The ITC awareness course on anti-fraud and anti-corruption is an online module developed using content from the “UN Anti-Fraud and Anti-Corruption Framework” and from the materials of “The Leadership Dialogue 2016 ‘Fraud awareness and prevention: How do I fit in?’”. The course strengthens awareness, provides a tool to detect early warning indicators in cases of fraudulent activities, helps create a channel for communication and reporting and supports Project Managers in implementing their work, especially – but not only – in the field. 

 The course is structured in three chapters. It begins by providing information on the definitions of fraud, corruption and other fraudulent activities, practical examples of such activities and ways to identify and differentiate them. It then moves on to discuss the different roles and responsibilities of ITC staff members, managers, consultants and implementing partners, as well as the impact of such activities on ITC. Finally, it includes details on how to prevent and report fraudulent activities, the consequences of failing to do so, as well as ways to protect against retaliation and find additional useful information. The course concludes with a short test.
