INTEGRITY AMBASSADORS’ CLUB
To stimulate public awareness about the values of the constitution in general and the activities of the IG in particular, the IG through its public awareness strategy has enlisted the support of the youth in the fight against corruption. This has been done through the formation of integrity Ambassadors Clubs (IACs)
The first club was launched at Makerere University, on 21st September 2006.
The IG has launched integrity ambassadors’ clubs in 37 Tertiary institutions and secondary schools. Integrity Ambassadors Clubs are formed to advocate for and spread the doctrine of integrity and anti-corruption among the youth generation. Therefore, members of the club act as ambassadors.
The IG strengthens and supports the integrity Ambassadors’ Clubs by offering financial and technical support to members. The IG also equips integrity ambassadors with knowledge by offering information, education, and communication (IEC) materials. Whenever activities are conducted, the IG gives out publications and other anti-corruption literature to institutions for their libraries. This is aimed at equipping integrity ambassadors and other students with information about corruption.
A youth who expresses and promotes attitudes and behaviors of integrity and who share and influence similar attitudes, values, and behavior among their colleagues, within their families and communities.
To develop, nurture, and empower practical integrity and good governance ambassadors through advocacy, knowledge sharing, and learning.
