Pacific Ombudsmen Participants
From the 25 August to 12 September, the National Centre for Development Studies at the Australian National University conducted a course entitled 'Corruption and Anti-Corruption'. This course was conducted in partnership with the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) with support from CDI. The course explored the different types of corruption and developed practical strategies for investigation and prevention. The course aimed to develop and understanding of the relationship between corruption, liberalisation and good governance. CDI supported the attendance of six Ombudsmen from the Pacific region.
