CID Code of Conduct E-Learning Course

The CID Code of Conduct is a voluntary, self-regulatory sector code of good practice that aims to improve international development outcomes and increase stakeholder trust by enhancing the transparency and accountability of signatory organisations. It serves both as a guide to good practice and as a risk management document.

We have developed a free online course that anyone can take to learn more about the Code.
