THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy (MACA), in collaboration with the Foreign Affairs Malaysia Ministry (MOFA), recently organised the Executive Certificate Course for Strategic Management of Anti-Corruption Programme 2025 under the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP), held from July 13‒23, 2025.
This intensive 11-day course brought together 17 senior anti-corruption and law enforcement officers from Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, and Africa.
The programme aimed to strengthen institutional capacity, expand strategic cooperation networks, and reinforce Malaysia’s commitment to promoting integrity and good governance at the international level.
Launched in 1980, the MTCP reflects Malaysia’s long-standing commitment to South-South Cooperation and continues to serve as a key platform for knowledge sharing and best practices.
The organisation of this programme underscores Malaysia’s role as a leader in development diplomacy and anti-corruption education globally.
The course focused on strategic management in combating corruption, including pressing contemporary issues such as intelligence-based investigations, digital forensics, cross-border asset recovery, cryptocurrency-related crimes, and strategic crisis communication management.
The modules were delivered by a panel of experts and seasoned practitioners within Malaysia’s anti-corruption ecosystem, designed to provide participants with practical approaches applicable within their respective national contexts.
The organisation of this course not only reflects Malaysia’s commitment to combating corruption in a holistic manner but also positions the nation as a key catalyst in building capacity and strengthening international anti-corruption cooperation networks.
This effort is in line with the country’s diplomatic agenda to shape a more peaceful and harmonious world with integrity. ‒ July 29, 2025
