Youth Against Corruption (YAC), an initiative under the Office of the Special Prosecutor, has launched a new online learning platform aimed at strengthening public understanding of ethics, governance, and anti-corruption practices among young people.
The platform, known as the YAC Learning Centre, is accessible at YAC Learning Centre and offers free courses designed to help users identify corruption risks, understand ethical decision-making, and build leadership skills grounded in integrity.
The launch took place during an inter-college debate organised by the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), in collaboration with YAC and the Office of the Special Prosecutor, on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at the Valco Trust Hall.
The debate centred on the motion: “A Corrupt but Highly Effective Leader is Better than a Clean but Less Effective Leader,” sparking discussions among students and young professionals on whether leadership effectiveness can ever justify unethical conduct.
Participants examined the relationship between competence, accountability, and integrity, with YAC and GRASAG-UCC representatives strongly arguing that corruption undermines sustainable development and should never be separated from leadership effectiveness.
Executives of GRASAG-UCC, including National Vice-President Nana Yaw and UCC GRASAG President Mr. Gideon Quansah (Ogidi), supported the initiative and have been named among YAC ambassadors promoting the programme on campus.
Ahead of the debate, student leaders also discussed a proposal encouraging aspiring student leaders to complete the YAC integrity course before participating in leadership vetting processes, a move organisers say is intended to strengthen ethical leadership culture in student governance.
The organisers say the YAC Learning Centre is open to the public and is expected to play a key role in shaping a new generation of leaders committed to accountability and integrity.
