Azizi Attends African CRM Study Tour

Azizi Consulting was honoured to partner with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in the Corruption Risk Management (CRM) study tour to Kenya in August.

The study tour, held from 26 to 28 August 2025 and organised by UNODC, brought together authorities from Uganda, Sierra Leone, Somalia and South Sudan. It focused on:

  • Learning from diverse Kenyan institutions that have successfully adopted the CRM methodology
  • Increasing knowledge and understanding of the CRM approach
  • Sharing of experiences among delegations and with the Kenyan authorities
  • Identifying good practices that can be implemented to effectively manage corruption risks across sectors

The study tour included a visit to Kenya’s Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), which has successfully spearheaded CRM in Kenya and supported the establishment and operationalisation of Corruption Prevention Committees across public sector institutions.

The CRM Approach

CRM provides a structured and systematic approach to preventing and combating corruption as well as strengthening integrity, transparency and accountability.

The study tour concluded with a debriefing where the delegates identified their key takeaways and how these would be implemented in their respective countries.

Key recommendations highlighted by the delegates were:

  • Incorporating CRM in the relevant legal, policy and institutional frameworks across sectors
  • Establishing and managing Corruption Prevention Committees (CPC) within public sector institutions
  • Digitalising and automating processes to minimise corruption risks
  • Conducting corruption perception surveys to monitor progress in preventing and addressing issues of corruption

As a Strategy, Risk Management and Governance firm, Azizi Consulting is encouraged by the growing interest in learning and incorporating CRM methodology to more resilient and transparent institutions.
