High Authority for Transparency, Prevention, and Anti-Corruption President Salima Mesrati unveiled the “Integrity Ambassadors” program this Saturday. This groundbreaking effort will train an initial group of 100 young people to spearhead anti-corruption drives and champion openness in society and public bodies.
Launched with the Supreme Youth Council during the inaugural National Forum on Youth Leader Training, the initiative spotlighted innovation and digital transformation. Mesrati tied it to a broader push for embedding transparency and integrity as cornerstones of sustainable growth and public trust.
Train-the-Trainers Model
“This stems from our partnership pact with the Youth Council, built through prep meetings and joint workshops,” Mesrati explained. The core approach—train trainers—selects committed youth with strong ethics and civic drive to earn the Integrity Ambassadors title.
Their charge: spread transparency values, alert peers and agencies to corruption risks, and model proactive citizenship. Training covers hands-on workshops, anti-corruption laws, case studies, governance, ethics, and digital tools for prevention.
“It’s not just spotting graft—it’s fostering a outright rejection rooted in youth values and actions,” Mesrati stressed.
Robust Legal Framework
Algeria backs this with solid laws like the 06-01 statute, backed by penalties ensuring accountability in public administration and business.
Mesrati stressed success hinges on youth engagement at grassroots and institutional levels. “Algerian young people have the talent, drive, and ingenuity to tackle this—they can spark real change, safeguard national assets, and lock in an integrity culture,” she affirmed.
Ongoing Support Network
The program includes activity tracking, local project reviews, and networks linking trainees, officials, and civil groups. This ensures training yields tangible anti-corruption steps and spreads civic duty far and wide.
