THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAMBIA INTEGRITY COMMITTEE (IC)
The University of Zambia (UNZA), as the nation’s premier institution of higher learning, recognizes its responsibility to uphold the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and transparency. In accordance with Section 6 (1) (a) (iv) of the Anti-Corruption Act No. 3 of 2012, UNZA has established an Integrity Committee (IC) to lead initiatives aimed at preventing corruption and other unethical practices within the University.
This is an affirmation by the University that corruption undermines academic excellence, erodes public trust, and compromises the values upon which our institution is built. UNZA stands as a beacon of knowledge, innovation, and ethical leadership, and abhors all forms of corruption in its operations, teaching, research, and service to society. The Committee works closely with all stakeholders within and outside the university to ensure that institutional operations are guided not only by rules and procedures but also by ethical thinking and moral responsibility.
The primary mandate of the Integrity Committee is to foster a culture of integrity by spearheading corruption prevention initiatives and promoting ethical conduct across UNZA. The Committee’s work is guided by a clear set of responsibilities, including:
1. Corruption Prevention Leadership: Developing, implementing, and enforcing anti-corruption best practice frameworks.
2. Complaints Management: Receiving complaints and ensuring timely, fair, and transparent redress.
3. Audit Engagement: Collaborating with internal and external audit teams to strengthen accountability.
4. Risk Assessment: Conducting corruption risk assessments to proactively identify vulnerabilities.
5. Planning and Reporting: Planning and execution of corruption prevention and education initiatives and preparing comprehensive reports to cabinet through the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
6. Administrative Action: Recommending administrative measures and referring cases to relevant authorities when necessary.
