Introduction to Corruption, Anti-Corruption and Natural Resource Management
It’s generally acknowledged that corrupt practices can undermine the sound management of natural resources, facilitate environmental crime and illegal trade, and drive resources away from the public good and into private hands. But conservation practitioners often feel obligated to treat corruption as something that they must program around, due in part to a lack of insight on approaches that could advance anti-corruption outcomes.
This introductory course has been designed to support conservation experts who have little to no prior understanding of anti-corruption.
Who is this Online Course for?
This self-paced 90-minute eCourse is designed for conservation and natural resource management practitioners working globally in project design and implementation in the wildlife, forests, and fisheries sectors, either in the field or at central offices. It is also relevant to conservation practitioners working at the policy-level, internally or externally.
By taking this online course you'll be able to:
- Identify corrupt behaviours, including how they differ from other negative and illegal behaviours
- Describe factors that can "cause" corruption in natural resource management
- Understand the diversity of anti-corruption approaches that can be considered in natural resource management programming
