On 9 April 2025, the ROCB A/P attended a virtual WCO meeting introducing the newly developed Integrity Training Kits on Internal Affairs and Culture of Integrity. This initiative underscores the WCO’s ongoing commitment to promoting integrity, professionalism, and operational excellence within Customs administrations worldwide. As a regional office for capacity building, the ROCB A/P will collaborate with Regional Training Centers (RTCs) to promote these training kits across its member administrations.

Customs are critical to trade facilitation and border security, but their effectiveness depends on a strong culture of integrity. To support this, the WCO has developed two comprehensive Training Kits on CLiKC! Platform: Internal Affairs and Culture of Integrity, which are designed to equip Customs officials with the knowledge and tools to combat corruption, enhance transparency, and build resilient institutional cultures.

Internal Affairs Training Kit covers 15 topics including corruption prevention, investigations and disciplinary processes. Culture of Integrity Training Kit focuses on 8 topics such as ethical leadership, diversity and communication. Both kits can be delivered using different delivery modes: e-learning, virtual workshop, distance learning event or in-person. By leveraging these resources, Customs administrations can build more robust, ethical, and efficient operational frameworks. In the future, the WCO is planning to organize regional workshops to demonstrate kit usage and develop additional modules based on Member feedback.

The WCO’s Training Kits are not just tool. They are the foundation for a new era of trusted Customs administrations. By integrating these tools, Customs administrations in the Asia Pacific region can fortify their integrity frameworks and align with global standards.
