.The outcome has been a greater awareness and understanding of fraud and corruption associated with development and humanitarian aid, and therefore 1) the empowerment of NGDOs to tackle it and 2) the advocacy and awareness raising, as well as the development and dissemination of training materials, to stakeholders in development and humanitarian assistance globally. The project produced 100 Conference Kits  to distribute to the participants and after the Conference, to other organisations and people interested in the issue. The e-learning course was also made and implemented and available in the Moodle platform of TI-PT https://elearning.transparencia.pt/ since November 15th and disseminated through mailing to the 458 contacts of NGDO. The mentoring  done by TI Norway, mainly regarding the workshop  on capacity building and technical assistance has been crucial to TI-PT allowing the promotion of 3 of its thematic programmes: education and training; Cooperation to Development and Integrity and good governance in the 3rd Sector. So, the results were fully achieved.
