New Online Game on Corruption Prevention launched by the AFA
The online game is available in both English and French
The French Anti-Corruption Agency (AFA) has recently launched an online game about corruption prevention in the civil service based on real-life scenarios. In seven chapters, players need to make decisions related to public procurement, administrative procedures, handling of gifts, etc.
The game aims to raise awareness about how to prevent and detect corruption. By providing detailed explanations and legal references, it allows players to better understand the various integrity breaches, identify high-risk situations, and learn more about prevention measures and best practices. The players’ knowledge is then tested through quizzes.
This game was developed with the support of the Ministerial Transformation Fund of the Ministry of Economy and the HR Innovation Fund (FIRH) of the Ministry of Public Service. Check it out now at: https://www.agence-francaise-anticorruption.gouv.fr/en/node/2065.
