The Governance Action Directorate manages the IEAL Programme, emanating from Directive 15, in collaboration with the Institute for Public Services (IPS)within the People & Standards Division (P&SD). The Governance Action Directorate identifies participants and communicates the list to the IPS. As the administrator of the training system, IPS shall ask identified participants to register for the Programme. The Directorate also attends to queries from participants, monitors the attendance and outcome of the tests, draws up statistics and reports to the respective Permanent Secretaries including the list of participants falling under their responsibility who were successful, the failures and those who failed to carry out the Programme without any justification.
The IEAL comprises three formation sessions targeting: Concepts, Insights and the Integrity Framework. It provides participants with important and critical highlights of proper conduct at the place of work based on appropriate codes of conduct. It provides instructions and reflections on how and why ethical dilemmas arise and what one should consider when deciding what is ethically best to do.
Following the third session, participants must sit for an assessment. This involves a 30-minute web-based multiple choice assessment that candidates are obliged to sit for and pass.
