Case Study: Training Anti-Corruption Trainers
How one programme turned 149 professionals from infrastructure, government, and law into a global network of anti-corruption trainers
Building anti-corruption capacity where it's needed most
Infrastructure and procurement are among the sectors most exposed to corruption, yet the people best placed to catch it — engineers, public officials, auditors — rarely get structured training in how.
Globethics partnered with the Global Infrastructure Anti-Corruption Centre (GIACC) and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations' Committee on Anti-Corruption (WFEO-CAC) to close that gap, and to build a network of in-country trainers who could keep closing it after the programme ended.
Preventing and Investigating Corruption: Train-the-Trainer Programme
A free, certified programme delivered over 9 months (October 2024–June 2025), combining 15 online workshops across four training suites — covering corruption in procurement and construction, detection and investigation, conflict of interest, and the role of AI and ethics in anti-corruption work.
149 participants from 43 countries took part, drawn from engineering bodies, government agencies, law enforcement, academia, and NGOs. By the end, 15 were certified as trainers, authorised to deliver the programme in their own countries.
From engineers to judges to government regulators.
97% intend to apply what they learned in their own context.
A multiplier network now running local training under its own steam.

What leaders say
-
"These sessions gave me frameworks and tools for making ethical decisions and fostering an ethical culture within organisations... My country faces severe corruption that has dangerously undermined governance. It is crucial to raise awareness among the various stakeholders."
-
"The programme marked a turning point in my professional outlook within the field of public works... it helped me understand that ethical leadership is not only about doing the right thing, but also about positively influencing others to do so."
A model that travels
This programme shows what's possible when technical training is combined with a clear path to certification and local delivery rights — turning a single curriculum into an active, self-sustaining trainer network across continents, sectors, and legal systems.
