In 2018, we launched Integrity Icon South Africa, a national campaign to name and fame honest government officials. Building on the early success of the campaign as a special project, Accountability Lab South Africa registered as an independent country office in 2019.
In March 2020, Accountability Lab (AL) and partners including Explain and ACTIVATE! Change Drivers launched our third edition of Integrity Icon South Africa. Building on the successes of the campaign since it began in 2018, we asked South Africa to nominate public servants who work with honesty and integrity and “do the right thing even when no-one is watching”.
