Expanded Advanced Anti-Corruption Offerings
The CEELI Institute has greatly expanded its offerings of advanced level anti-corruption training programs over the past two years, in response to an increasing demand for more sophisticated anti-corruption course offerings. This demand reflects both the increasingly complex nature of public corruption in the region, and the need for adequately trained government practitioners, particularly investigators, prosecutors and other officials charged with anti-corruption enforcement efforts. It also reflects an encouraging sign, which is the increased capacity and ability of those practitioners to apply such training and undertake more robust investigations, relying on a wide variety of appropriated analytical tools and skills.
The Institute led off this effort in late 2019 with our Advanced Anti-Corruption Course, which is designed for investigators and prosecutors to address issues related to complex procurement fraud. The course looks at use of forensic accounting, data analytics, and organization of mega data in investigations; use of money laundering and asset recovery tools; and multi-jurisdictional investigations.
Most recently, a wide variety of additional new training curricula have been debuted by the Institute over the last 24 months, and include:
While programs are primarily intended for law enforcement, prosecutors and government officials with anti-corruption responsibilities, our programs have also been opened to those in civil society and journalism who are engaged in anti-corruption efforts. To that end, we have also developed a training program specifically designed for those communities:
“Training for Civil Society and Journalists on how to Investigate and Expose Public Corruption”
CEELI Institute programs are currently available for online delivery; however, as the pandemic conditions allow, we look forward to again offering in-person programming at our facilities in Prague, at the Villa Grebovka.
