SUMMARY:Webinar: Launch of CW research report - Improving Transparency and Accountability in the Flow of Benefits to Mining Communities
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, CW published its Mining Royalties Research Report that looked at equity benefits and compensation flowing from mining\, and whether these were reaching mining-affected communities. It concluded that widespread corruption was evident and that\, overall\, the communities most affected by mining were not benefiting\, but continued to live in conditions of poverty.  \n\n\n\nWe now present part II of that research\, a report that strives to understand how best to intervene in shaping the financial and legal mechanisms used to funnel benefits to mining-affected communities. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a discussion on the victories\, lessons and future directions for mining communities. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nProfessor Sonwabile Mnwana of Fort Hare University \n\n\n\nErica Emdon of Public Interest Practice \n\n\n\n\nJOIN HERE (Microsoft Teams)

SUMMARY:Civil society convening on leadership\, elected representatives and the unrest in South Africa
DESCRIPTION:The Heinrich Boell Foundation\, Womxn and Democracy Initiative\, Public Service Accountability Monitor\, and Parliamentary Monitoring Group invite you to participate in a convening on the current crises in South Africa and reflect on questions of leadership – specifically the role of legislatures and elected representatives leading up to this and beyond. \n\n\n\n\nThis convening aims to create a safe space for reflection while at the same time allowing for complex discussions\, among a diverse group of people\, who don’t all know each other. We understand this is a challenge. It will require that we enter prepared to listen\, and mindful of how we exercise our different and relative power in the conversation. \n\n\n\nWe will allocate time at the beginning of the convening to develop collective strategies to commit to recognise the limits of safety and to respond to the high levels of distress\, anger and helplessness that are being articulated by many. Part of this will be reaching consensus on how to document the meeting and share reflections outside the space. \n\n\n\nKindly RSVP by Monday\, 26 July 2021. All data requests must be completed by Monday\, 26 July 2021. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\nPLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM IF YOU REQUIRE DATA TO ATTEND

SUMMARY:Webinar: Deferred Prosecution Agreements - a solution to prosecuting backlog?
DESCRIPTION:FTI Consulting South Africa and Corruption Watch recently co-authored an article titled Addressing Corruption in South Africa in which we argued\, inter alia\, that consideration should be given to allowing criminal offenders to self-disclose and subject themselves to administrative penalties to avoid criminal prosecution through the mechanism of deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs). \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a session hosted by Petrus Marais to hear more from experts on the possibility of using DPAs to tackle corruption: \n\n\n\nAdv.

SUMMARY:Online training - Investigating the health sector: red flags in public procurement and public spending
DESCRIPTION:Corruption Watch in collaboration with the Open Contracting Partnership (OCP) is inviting journalists to participate in our training on open contracting as a tool for transparency and accountability in governance. Given the wide-spread corruption in Covid-related procurement that has been identified by the media\, this is an appropriate time to discuss greater transparency and accountability in the context of government procurement. \n\n\n\n\nThe workshop is aimed at introducing the concept of open contracting and building an understanding of the use of procurement data for anti-corruption\, red flag monitoring\, and investigative journalism. We also aim to provide guidance on how to use data tools and resources for the analysis of procurement data. \n\n\n\nParticipants will be walked through an introduction to open contracting\, its principles\, key concepts\, and implementation. We will also cover the contracting process\, context\, and history of open contracting and the Open Contracting Data Standard\, the problems it was developed to address\, use cases\, and finding the data. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, we will provide training on how to use our red flags methodology to show how you can reference procurement data against a set of over 150 suspicious behaviour indicators\, or “red flags” and how this fits into your investigative storytelling. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us as we discuss this important issue\, where the media can continue to play its vital role in ensuring accountability for government corruption. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here
