DAY 2 | TURNING INTEGRITY INTO ACTION

The conversation continued in Mutare.
Following a day of reflection, learning and exchange, the School of Integrity Alumni Forum 2026 continued with a clear focus turning ideas into action.
Bringing together 25 School of Integrity alumni under the theme “Strengthening Ethical Leadership and Collective Action Among Young Professionals,” Day 2 shifted from reflection to practical action.

The day began with a recap of Day 1 before moving into sessions focused on advocacy, digital mobilisation and youth-led solutions.

The first major conversation focused on Policy Advocacy: Influencing Change Through Evidence and Citizen Engagement.

Participants explored how evidence, citizen voices and strategic engagement could influence policy and institutional reform, while equipping young professionals to engage decision-makers more effectively.

The focus then shifted from discussion to action as alumni worked together to develop Youth Integrity Plans practical initiatives responding to transparency, accountability and governance challenges in their communities.

The Forum closed with a Commitment Circle, where participants identified personal leadership commitments and institutional challenges they were ready to address.

Two days. One challenge, move from knowing to doing.

Integrity must not end when the Forum ends.

Choose Integrity. Reject Corruption. Inspire Others.

DAY 1 | BUILDING A CULTURE OF INTEGRITY

25 young professionals. One shared purpose: strengthening ethical leadership and collective action.

The School of Integrity Alumni Forum 2026 is underway in Mutare, bringing together alumni of Transparency International Zimbabwe’s School of Integrity for two days of learning, reflection, networking and action.

Under the theme “Strengthening Ethical Leadership and Collective Action Among Young Professionals,” the Forum is challenging alumni to move beyond knowing what integrity means and focus on how to practise it and influence others within workplaces, institutions and communities.

Day 1 is featuring powerful conversations on Building a Youth Movement for Integrity Through Volunteerism, exploring how young people can use collective action and volunteerism to strengthen accountability, citizen participation and ethical leadership.

The conversation is also turning to storytelling through “Capturing Integrity: Visual Storytelling for Anti-Corruption Advocacy and Social Change,” demonstrating how photography, documentaries and digital media can expose the human impact of corruption, amplify community voices and make governance issues more relatable.

Through Leveraging Digital Media, participants are exploring how podcasts, TikTok, short-form video and other digital platforms can engage citizens, simplify complex governance issues and mobilise action.

Integrity is not just about individual choices. It is about building institutions, communities and movements where ethical behaviour becomes the norm.

The alumni are being challenged to become Islands of Integrity spaces where transparency, accountability and ethical leadership can take root and influence wider society.

Choose Integrity. Reject Corruption. Inspire Others.

Building Knowledge on Zimbabwe’s Anti-Corruption Framework

Transparency International Zimbabwe is hosting students participating in the Yet Trust Winter School, who are currently exploring Zimbabwe’s anti-corruption legislation and institutional framework.

The session is providing participants with an understanding of the key laws, institutions and mechanisms that form part of Zimbabwe’s anti-corruption architecture, including how different institutions contribute to preventing, detecting and combating corruption.

The engagement is equipping young people with knowledge of their rights, responsibilities and the legal mechanisms available to promote transparency, accountability and integrity.
Building an informed generation is critical to strengthening Zimbabwe’s fight against corruption.

Choose Integrity. Reject Corruption. Inspire Others.

Corruption in education denies learners equal opportunities and weakens the quality of public education. Addressing these challenges requires transparency, accountability and active citizen participation.

Transparency International Zimbabwe convened a Community Interface Meeting in Mutare under the theme, "Strengthening Transparency and Accountability in Education Service Delivery through Community Engagement." The meeting brought together community members, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission to discuss corruption risks affecting education service delivery and identify practical solutions.

The dialogue was informed by Transparency International Zimbabwe's (TI Z) Corruption Risk Assessment in the Education sector which identified key risks including bribery in school enrolment, examination leakages, nepotism in teacher recruitment and transfers, procurement irregularities, misuse of school resources and unregulated extra lessons. These practices undermine access to quality education and disproportionately affect women, girls and other vulnerable learners.

Community members openly shared their experiences and concerns, creating an opportunity for meaningful engagement with duty bearers. Discussions focused on strengthening transparency in school administration, improving accountability mechanisms, promoting ethical leadership and encouraging the reporting of corruption.

Collaborative platforms such as these are essential for building trust, improving public service delivery and ensuring every learner has equitable access to quality education.

Together, communities, government institutions and oversight bodies can help build an education system where integrity is the standard, not the exception.

The 6th Anti-Corruption and Human Rights Moot Court Competition is currently underway at the Mutare High Court, bringing together some of Zimbabwe’s brightest law students for a timely and challenging legal debate.

Law students from Africa University, Great Zimbabwe University, Midlands State University, the University of Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University are tackling one of the biggest questions in modern anti-corruption law: can states recover billions in stolen public assets when corruption, cryptocurrency, digital privacy and international law collide?

With Africa losing an estimated US$88.6 billion annually through illicit financial flows, the challenge of tracing, freezing and recovering stolen assets has never been more urgent. The answer could shape how governments pursue illicit wealth across borders for years to come, especially as criminals increasingly use digital platforms and complex financial structures to hide proceeds of corruption.

The moot is sharpening the next generation of legal minds through practical arguments on cross-border asset recovery, unexplained wealth, money laundering, digital evidence and beneficial ownership transparency. Through rigorous courtroom advocacy, participants are testing legal solutions to complex issues at the intersection of anti-corruption enforcement, human rights and international cooperation.

Beyond the courtroom, the moot is also helping students deepen their understanding of accountability, human rights and the role of law in fighting corruption in an increasingly digital world.
