This interactive week is for anyone interested in understanding how corruption impacts health systems during an emergency. You will learn how to assess corruption risks and apply a variety of counter measures to mitigate them.

U4 advisers will guide you through the one week facilitated experience. Start the week by taking the self-paced modules at your own convenience. Interact and learn from your peers in the discussion forum available during the full week and make use of the drop-in office hours with the U4 advisers to answer any question you might have about the course content.

The interactive classroom session (via zoom) at the end of the week offers participants a chance to apply their new knowledge to a case study under the guidance of the U4 advisers. Completing the course is a prerequisite for participating in the interactive classroom.

A certificate of completion is provided once both parts are completed. The drop-in sessions are voluntary.
