The programme is designed to provide participants with a unique opportunity to learn from experts in the field of anti-corruption and diplomacy, and to connect with professionals from around the world. The programme covers a range of topics, including ethics management, negotiation, and the role of journalism in the fight against corruption. Participants will also learn about the importance of whistle-blower protection and how to apply the acquired diplomatic skills, knowledge, and tools in their respective careers and fields of work.
In the past years, the programme has proven to help many professionals achieve their goals. Ms. Mpolokeng Julia Makhema, Assistant Parliamentary Counsel at the Ministry of Justice, Law and Parliamentary Affairs in Lesotho, enrolled in the Executive Diploma in Anti-Corruption and Diplomacy in 2023 to be better positioned to assist in matters affecting the execution of mandates by Lesotho and to be part of the anti-corruption efforts in Africa. She believes that taking part in the course would not only boost her understanding of corruption and equip her with skills in diplomacy, but also help her further her studies through the Master in Anti-Corruption and Diplomacy Programme.
Ms. Makhema was able to connect with professionals from around the world and learn best practices. This opportunity has enhanced her skills within her work environment, and she has learned to relate better with colleagues and the ministries they serve.
