GIACC-Germany aims to:

• Increase awareness in Germany of the damage and risks of corruption through workshops, training and publications.

• Support the provision by German universities and technical colleges of an anti-corruption module as part of the syllabus, so that students enter the workplace with the knowledge and ability to avoid, prevent and deal with corruption.
