Who can apply

U4 online courses are primarily for U4 partner staff and their guests. We do, however, also accept a limited number of applicants from NGOs and multilateral organisations.

Apply by using the register button below. In the case of high demand, we will prioritise among guest applicants to achieve a diverse group of participants (job role/organisation, gender, location, etc).

We regret that we cannot accommodate applicants who have no direct relevance to the U4 partners' work.

Course prerequisites

In order to ensure a shared basic knowledge of definitions, terminology and concepts of corruption and anti-corruption, prospective participants must complete our self-paced Essentials of Anti-Corruption I module before they can take this course. Essentials of Anti-Corruption II: Development Programming is also recommended, but not required.

What you'll learn

The objective of this course is to assist development practitioners to integrate gender, diversity, and inclusion into anti-corruption programming. The course will consider:

• How the inclusion and participation of under-represented groups in public office reduces corruption
• The differential impact of corruption on minorities and under-represented groups along various dimensions of human development and security
• Reducing sextortion in development and humanitarian aid
• Using gender-budgeting and gender-smart procurement to advance transparency and accountability
