The Basel Institute on Governance is expanding its training offer to help more professionals build practical skills in financial investigations and asset recovery.
Building on decades of global experience, we are launching new courses for both public-sector practitioners and non-state actors. Our hands-on, case-based training is now accessible to a wider audience than ever before.
Our colleague Límberg Chero has played an important role in establishing the Basel Institute’s strong presence in Peru. From the early years – even before a formal office existed in Lima – to his current work with the Subnational Public Finance Management Programme (Programa GFP Subnacional), his journey reflects a great passion for fighting corruption.
Nuestro colega Límberg Chero ha desempeñado un rol importante en la consolidación de la presencia del Basel Institute en Perú. Desde los años previos a la apertura de la oficina en Lima hasta su trabajo actual en el Programa GFP Subnacional, su trayectoria refleja un profundo compromiso con la integridad pública y la lucha contra la corrupción. Su camino comenzó lejos de la capital, en un pueblo milenario del norte del país, y se fue forjando a través de una rigurosa formación académica y años de servicio público.
We are pleased to announce the launch of a special crowdfunding campaign on the day of what would have been Gretta Fenner’s 50th birthday.
The campaign supports the Gretta Fenner Scholarship Fund, which enables talented individuals from lower-income backgrounds to access our advanced anti-corruption programmes.
The Basel Institute’s first international postgraduate programme in anti-corruption has begun. 12 students from 11 countries across Africa, Europe and North America are taking part in the six-month course, led by Basel Institute staff and resulting in a Certificate of Advanced Studies from the University of Basel.
The course, Mastering Today’s Anti-Corruption Challenges, equips mid-career professionals with the tools, skills and networks to address corruption and governance challenges in their work.
A major blockage in financial crime cases lies in the space between intelligence and investigations. All too often, crucial financial intelligence from Financial Intelligence Units isn’t used effectively to trigger or advance investigations.
One reason lies in the quality of the financial intelligence reports themselves, which may not match what investigators and prosecutors need. A related reason lies in poor cooperation between different agencies involved in the fight against financial crime.
Five practitioners from Ukraine’s leading anti-corruption institutions have been certified as national trainers in financial investigations and asset recovery following their successful completion of the Train-the-Trainer programme of our International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR).
Congratulations to five talented individuals from Zambia’s law enforcement agencies and prosecution service, who have successfully completed the train-the-trainer programme of our International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR).
Zambia’s multi-agency approach to fighting corruption has gained further momentum as our International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR) training team conducted another successful workshop on financial investigations and asset recovery in Lusaka. This was the fourth in a series of five workshops under our train-the-trainer (TTT) programme for Zambia.
