IF holds 30 Educational Trainings for Youth in 15 Provinces

December 2011

During the month of December 2011, IF facilitated the implementation of 30 one-day youth educational workshops in 15 provinces. The workshops were delivered to university and high school students/youth between the ages of 15 and 19 to engage this important sector of the community in the efforts against corruption. The workshops helped the trainees to foster civic values to promote transparency, good governance and promoted measures to curb corruption. In each province, IF and members of local Integrity Monitoring Groups (IMGs) held 2 one-day trainings. Each training targeted 50 local students/youths and clarified and explained IF's and the IMGs work over the last two years fighting corruption and promoting good governance and presented some examples of corruption incidents. The IMGs explained the role of youth in the fight against corruption and gave talks on Iraq’s National Anti-corruption Strategy, the Code of Conduct (COC), and Agendas for Change as well as relevant information from the UN Convention against Corruption. IF and the IMGs also introduced PAG website to the trainees and encouraged them to use it to monitor and report corruption.
