Corruption remains a major challenge for development in Africa. People worldwide perceive
corruption as a widespread problem. Over the last two decades, anti-corruption and related
education were almost absent from the development policy agenda, and only minimally included
in discussions on the Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals. Today,
there is a growing demand from citizens for greater transparency and accountability leading to the
importance of putting in place civic education programs. This paper seeks to put anti-corruption
education on the main agenda of civic education in Africa.
