Greetings was also brought by the Deputy Premier who while he disagreed that Corruption was a problem in the TCI, reaffirmed that he would continue to publicly support the Commission and ensure that it gets the resources that it requires to perform its function.
The facilitator for the Seminar was Dr. Everold Hosein, a Senior Communication Advisor/Consultant, World Health Organization (WHO) Communication Consultant to UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP, UNWOMEN; President, The COMBI Institute; Distinguished Scholar, CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy.
This Integrated Marketing Communication for Behavioural Impact seminar ~Behaviour Change Seminar, which was held from Tuesday 9th to Saturday 13th November, focused specifically on anti-corruption. It was purposefully directed at behavioural goals, critical to not only educate and inform, but influence mindset, and its processes to transition from knowing to doing what is right. It sought to engage personnel from all ministries across government sectors, other entities of good governance and other stakeholders. Among the TCIG Departments, Statutory Bodies and Groups represented at the event were Attorney General’s Chambers, Complaints Commission, Department of Public Prosecution, Elections Office, Office of the Chief Internal Auditor, Financial Services Commission, Immigration, RTCI Police Force, Ministry of Education, National – Provo Christian Council, Representative Haitian Community, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of IHPD, Customs and the Youth Church.
Those who attended, thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, and thought it an enriching and meaningful seminar which all civil servants should be enabled to engage in, particularly, the decision-makers as the skillset and principles garnered will be translated within their working environments.
By the end of the Workshop, three working teams presented a partial draft behavioural plan, all highlighting to some degree the importance of “civil servants not accepting bribes” and the “public not offering bribes”.
