Deadline- May 11, 2012
The African Center for Peace and Security Training (ACPST) is mandated to enhance the ability of practitioners to make and implement policies that will improve human security in Africa primarily through short courses and workshops. The Center was created by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in 2011 with support from the Geneva Center for Security Policy. Established in 1991, the ISS is a leading applied policy research institute with staff from 16 African countries working in offices in South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia and Senegal.
This course seeks to positively influence policymaking and implementation by giving participants a better understanding of corruption and its impact on human security. It will provide them with the latest practical skills for fighting corruption. It will also help participants create networks that will enable them exchange knowledge and information on combating corruption, and undertake concerted anti-corruption action.
Eligibility-
Only state and non-state actors, including those from private and not for profit sectors, working on human security issues in Africa will be considered for participation. People working on anti-corruption and in activities under particular threat from corruption like aid delivery and monitoring are encouraged to apply.
