With the support of the country and the HKSAR Government, the ICAC established the Hong Kong International Academy Against Corruption (HKIAAC) on 21 February 2024. The mission of the HKIAAC is to organise professional training programmes for graft fighters from around the world as well as local public and private organisations, and to provide an exchange and research platform for experts and scholars worldwide. Through the HKIAAC, the ICAC hopes to showcase to the international community the determination and achievements of Hong Kong in fighting corruption, and to promote global anti-corruption collaboration.
The HKIAAC is devoted to facilitate collaboration with anti-corruption agencies of various jurisdictions through organising training and exchange programmes and conducting anti-corruption studies, thereby contributing to the global anti-corruption cause. The four strategic foci of the HKIAAC are:
- to organise professional anti-corruption training programmes and serve as a hub for exchange of graft fighting experience for participants worldwide;
- to offer strategic and targeted practical training for leaders from the local public and private sectors to strengthen their anti-corruption capabilities;
- to optimise internal training for ICAC officers to enhance their professional standards; and
- to provide an exchange and academic research platform for professionals and academics from the Mainland, Hong Kong and overseas to facilitate experience sharing.
