BCPI believes that when people know better they do better. This is from the observation that citizens in Botswana have trusted government and the last few years we see how we shouldn’t have entirely been complacent about oversight and good governance, with all the corruption cases unearthed. BCPI therefore raises awareness and promotes the importance of integrity, transparency and accountability in the public and private sectors. BCPI pushes for these ideals as approaches to fighting corruption and ensuring that public funds benefit citizens in the short, medium to long terms. We have engaged statutory bodies on the Whistleblowing Act, which has led to the Anti-Corruption Agency formulating recommendations for review of the law to improve it for the protection of whistle-blowers. We continue to use dialogue platforms to spread anti-corruption messages and empower citizens to detect and stand up against corruption. Our target is the citizens, particularly youth, we seek to equip them with information on fighting corruption and building a generation of integrity champions to do better and to demand better from the leaders in the running of the country. We also engage with various stakeholders such as Business Botswana on transparency and accountability and clean business, the Trade Unions on whistle-blowing for their members to be protected by the law should they seek to expose corruption.
