Through this training program, participants learned about local and international standards of integrity, transparency and ethics, the "core values" of the law, organizational message, government policy, culture, and images of integrity violations and ways to avoid them. As well as how they can regulate the costs of violations of integrity, and the program has provided them with knowledge to assess the importance of governance and accountability.
