Workshop on Strategic Management of Anti-Corruption Program
The Center for Policy and Executive Development (CPED) of the National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG), University of the Philippines (UP), jointly with the Network of Asia Pacific Schools and Institute of Public Administration and Governance (NAPSIPAG), INTAN of Malaysia, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), conducted a Workshop on Strategic Management of Anti-Corruption Program from 9 to 13 July 2007 at the Room 307, UP-NCPAG.
This five-day workshop course offers an in-depth assay on corruption, its implications to development as well as feasible strategies to curb its implacable constancy. While the course, likewise, incorporates comparative studies undertaken by selected countries on the subject, its goal is to provide an opportunity to further harness professional competency in managing corruption. With this Workshop, participants are expected to develop an effective anti-corruption strategic plan designed to address the needs of their respective agency. It will highlight six major themes: (a) theories on corruption; (b) survey of cross-country experiences in combating corruption; (c) policy and institutional framework for controlling corruption; (d) controlling corruption through effective law enforcement; (e) preventing corruption; and (f) public education and partnerships with the communities and private sector.
Participants were encouraged to take part in an extensive yet enlightening discussion from invited guest speakers:former Ombudsman Simon Marcelo, Prof. Emilia Boncodin, Mr. Vince Lazatin, Mr. Tony Kwok, former Customs Commissioner Guillermo Parayno and former Prime Minister Cesar E.A Virata. Moreover, CSC Chair Karina David and DBM Secretary Rolanda Andaya will also participate in the panel discussion on corruption prevention.
