Course Description

This course, presented by the Legal Department, provides policy makers and practitioners with an overview of strategies and approaches to reducing corruption and enhancing the rule of law. The course is aligned with the IMF’s 2018 Framework for Enhanced Engagement in Governance and international experience with confronting corruption. Drawing upon analytical and case study materials, the course focuses on legal and institutional aspects and effectiveness of anticorruption frameworks, as well as importance of understanding political economy of corruption. The course complements the IMF’s existing capacity development support on addressing governance weaknesses and strengthening broader governance systems.The workshop covers the following topics: Why corruption matters. Macroeconomic significance of corruption and IMF’s engagement with member states on corruption (including the 1997 Governance Policy, 2018 Framework on Enhanced Fund Engagement on Governance and the 2023 Review, IMF’s Strategy for Fragile and Conflict-Affected States); Identifying and prioritizing corruption vulnerabilities – systemic corruption, corrupt systems vs. corrupt transactions (including the political economy of corruption), and the impact of corruption on core state functions; Anti-corruption strategies – importance of tailored, sequenced, and targeted policies and adaptation over time; Effective anticorruption laws – international standards and local competencies; and Developing effective institutions – organizational arrangements and effective leadership of anticorruption reform.Each module frames the issue, identifies points of entry for change, shares typical implementation challenges, and provides opportunities for discussion. Case studies drawn from the region are featured in each module.
