Integrity Icon is a global campaign run by citizens in search of honest government officials. It aims to champion integrity by “naming and faming” bureaucrats as positive role models. In doing so it hopes to inspire the next generation of responsible leaders. Through a nationwide media campaign, citizens are invited to nominate public officials that have demonstrated integrity in their personal and professional conduct.

Acknowledging the vastly different circumstances we now live in due to the pandemic that has engulfed the world, this year’s special edition of IISL will be dedicated to celebrating frontline workers i.e. ‘COVID Heroes’.  This year Integrity Icon seeks to champion public sector officials who are serving in the frontline, making many sacrifices, maintaining their honesty and integrity, going above and beyond the call of duty in combatting COVID19. The nomination period will be open from 19^th July to 06^th September 2020.

The nominees will be evaluated by an esteemed panel of independent judges, who narrow down the nominees to a final shortlist of ten Integrity Icons. After the panel of judges selects the final ten Integrity Icons, the stories of the icons, including their background, their work, the obstacles they have had to overcome, the impact of their conduct and their aspirations are shared on media. From this ten, a final five will be selected and awarded with the Integrity Icon awards at the Integrity Icon Grand Finale.
