Celebrating international Anti-corruption Day

The theme for this year is, ‘Uniting With Youth Against Corruption: Shaping Tomorrow’s Integrity’. We recognise that the youth are the leaders of both today and tomorrow. This requires taking personal responsibility for one’s actions.

This year’s theme aims to ensure that the youth are at the forefront of advocating for anti-corruption societies. Creating a future, which is rooted in integrity, is shaped by the leaders of our society. The youth should acknowledge the importance of integrity. They should therefore adopt traits and leadership skills, which promote integrity. This will help to ensure that our future leaders and our society are corruption-free. Corruption is the main cause of inequalities, injustices and limited development in relation to our available resources and opportunities. Young people are directly affected by such consequences. The youth should be empowered to use their voices of dissatisfaction to advocate for constructive, sustainable changes in how our societies are managed.
