Training Manual for Measuring Corruption

This training manual, which can be accessed here, offers hands on tools and guidance to measuring corruption at the country level. Based on the Users' Guide to Measuring Corruption (2008) developed by Global Integrity and UNDP, it has been developed to help meet the growing global demand for capacity development in this area. The programme targets stakeholders who would like to learn the basics of corruption assessment methods. The manual itself is written for trainers, and provides step-by-step guidance and materials for adapting and delivering the training in any country. It includes presentation slides, materials for activities, evaluation sheets and facilitation tips. Rather than a rigid programme, it is best used as a menu of training topics and methods that users can adapt.
