ONLINE CURRICULUM ON ETHICAL LEADERSHIP
A global taskforce of experts came together in 2013 to work and put together this curriculum which would be made available free to the entire world. Designed in easy self-study modules, this curriculum aims to empower leaders with wisdom and tools to strengthen their responses while facing ethical dilemmas and measure their ethical score. This e-curriculum features videos, success stories of inspiring ethical leaders, case studies and as- sessments. This is currently being developed in partnership with Educomp and the World Bank Group

OPEN CONTRACTING
The World Bank Group has been working with WFEB during the past few years as a strategic partner to bring together diverse stakeholders from the government, private sector, NGO, media and others to form coalitions to make contracts open, transparent and easily understood.
“Development is a process of trial and error which is inherently context speci c. Structured platforms in which stakeholders interact and discover solutions to problems are the best way for the public and private sectors to learn from each other, build trust and understanding, and set and support reform priorities that work for them. Promoting “voice” and self-discovery through collaborative governance initiatives offers an effective means of increasing the reform space and thus raising the prospects for a sustainable path to economic development and poverty reduction.”
