The United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) forms the global legal framework for governments in their fight against corruption. The education and training offered by the Academy will largely be based on this UNCAC objective and other comprehensive international instruments. To this end, IACA also envisages to assist States Parties in translating the provisions of the UNCAC into reality. Consequently, IACA urged South Africa joined other African countries like, Zambia, Benin, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Uganda, Cape Verde, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Togo, Senegal and Nigeria, in becoming a member of the anti-corruption international organisation.
