The African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption (AUABC) and Stellenbosch University in Western Cape, South Africa are preparing to host the African Anti-Corruption Research Network in Tanzania next week.
The workshop will run from 9th to 11th May in Arusha,
Tanzania at the Kibo Palace Hotel.
The workshop concept note indicated that the continental
workshop will be the precursor to the formation of the African Anti-Corruption
Research Network.
Its main objectives, according to the organisers, are to
bring together researchers, anti-corruption practitioners, and key stakeholders
to brainstorm and deliberate on the creation of the AACRN.
The discussions will focus on conducting a mapping and
situational analysis as well as charting the course for future research,
creating the AACRN, establishing working procedures and electing the
coordinating group/team as well as developing a research agenda that will
inform the focus and direction of the research required by the National
Anti-Corruption Authorities who are a key stakeholder and primary user of the
research results.
On the first day, the focus will be on the establishment of
the AACRN along with its working procedures and guidelines. The remaining two
days of the Workshop will be devoted to the development of the research agenda.
The workshop will gather participants from academia, think
tanks and research networks, National Anti-Corruption Authorities,
anti-corruption institutes and networks, governance and policy-making
institutions as well as African Union organs.
No fewer than 45 delegates will attend the workshop.
