Introduction

This free online training Module 4: “Common types of corruption in project construction” is part of GIACC’s suite of online modules which are designed to increase understanding of corruption in the infrastructure sector, and so help to prevent and detect it.

The construction phase of infrastructure projects is prone to corruption, including in particular bribery, fraud, abuse of power, and extortion.  This Module examines how these types of corruption takes place in the construction phase, and how they inter-relate.  Note that the manner in which corruption can take place is very varied;  this Module is merely a brief summary of some possible occurrences. 

Module 1: “Understanding and Avoiding Corruption” contains a summary of the main types of corruption relevant to the infrastructure sector.  This Module 4 builds on the explanations in Module 1 by providing examples of how these types of corruption occur during the construction phase.  It is therefore preferable that you have completed Module 1 before you take this Module 4.  

This Module 4 takes approximately 25 minutes to complete.  On the last page of this Module, you can download or print a certificate of completion, with your name and date of completion.  GIACC keeps no record of your identity in undertaking this Module, so this certificate is purely for your own or your organisation’s record.
