"International Anti-Corruption Champions"
Awardees in Tampa Bay

Before traveling to Washington, DC to receive their awards from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, World Partnerships was honored to serve as the host for this US Department of State INL/IVLP “International Anti-Corruption Champions” Award special initiative.
Eight IVLP visitors from Bangladesh, Colombia, Iraq, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mexico, Serbia and Zimbabwe engaged in a series of interactive, substantive workshops led by local, state and Federal law enforcement and judiciary, all focused on the anti-corruption theme of the project.
Recognizing the personal and professional risks of their work, Secretary Blinken outlined "eight lessons from eight champions. Consider them maybe a how-to guide for effectively combatting corruption and empowering citizens," and noted that "no matter how great the obstacles are that you face, I hope you remember the difference that your work is making for ordinary people. And wherever you are, know that you have a committed partner in the United States."
