Course Code: WO202
Purpose
The purpose of this workshop is to promote ethical behaviour in the Public Sector, to prevent unethical conduct, fraud and corruption, and to support ethics and integrity management and anti-corruption. The Constitution requires a high standard of professional ethics in the Public Sector. This means that Public Administration must be governed by the democratic values and principles as well as the standards for professional ethics enshrined in the Constitution. Challenges arise when public officials experience ethical dilemmas. Ethical conduct and organisational integrity are key to eradicate fraud and corruption in the public service. It is therefore imperative to implement a programme that will equip public officials with the skills and competencies to make ethical decisions, to develop organisational integrity, prevent fraud and combat corruption in the Public Sector.
