Leadership and Performance in Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course in Kisumu, Kenya
Classroom training in Kisumu · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 1,500
A single bribe, undeclared interest or ignored warning can cost an institution its licence, funding and public trust, and the trail often leads to leadership decisions rather than junior misconduct. Five days prepare directors, executives and senior public officials to treat integrity as a performance responsibility. You examine bribery risk across procurement, licensing, recruitment and third-party relationships, then build controls around gifts and hospitality, facilitation payments, political and charitable contributions, and related-party dealings.
Leadership sessions cover tone from the top, ethical decision-making under pressure, declarations of interest registers, recusal rules, and handling whistleblower reports without retaliation. Using ISO 37001 principles, the UN Convention against Corruption and common donor requirements as reference points, you set integrity targets, indicators and board reporting that show whether the programme works. Board members, chief executives, heads of compliance, legal, audit and HR, permanent secretaries and NGO country directors are the intended audience. Training runs in classroom, online or in-house formats and ends with a CPD-accredited certificate. You leave able to brief your board, commission a risk assessment and lead a credible response when an allegation lands on your desk.

About this course
Regulators, donors and investors increasingly hold senior leaders personally accountable for the integrity of their organisations. Enforcement actions rarely turn on whether a policy existed; they turn on whether leaders understood the risks, resourced the controls and acted when warnings appeared. Conflicts of interest, often dismissed as minor, are the quiet entry point for many bribery and fraud cases.
The Leadership and Performance in Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course focuses on what leaders must decide, not just what compliance teams must document. It opens with the leadership role in ethical culture, moves through bribery risk assessment and due diligence on agents and partners, then covers practical conflict of interest management, from declarations and registers to recusal and sanctions. Later sessions examine investigation oversight, reporting channels, disciplinary consistency and the measures a board can use to judge programme performance.
The programme is facilitated as a leadership workshop. Participants debate dilemmas drawn from realistic scenarios, review sample policies and registers, and leave with an integrity action plan for their own institution.
Training Objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Define the leadership responsibilities that underpin an effective anti-bribery and ethics programme.
- Carry out a bribery risk assessment across operations, procurement and third parties.
- Design rules for gifts, hospitality, sponsorships and facilitation requests.
- Establish a conflict of interest framework with declarations, registers and recusal procedures.
- Respond to whistleblower reports and allegations in a fair, protected and documented way.
- Apply ethical decision-making models to dilemmas involving pressure from superiors or clients.
- Set integrity indicators and report programme performance to the board.
