UNAIR NEWS ” (UNAIR) reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening clean governance through the intellectual leadership of Dr. Eko Supeno, Drs., M.Si., Chair of the Airlangga Institute for Learning and Growth (AILG). Speaking at the webinar Kenali, Pahami, Cegah (Recognize, Understand, Prevent!) Anti-Corruption Starts with Us ” hosted online by the East Java Provincial Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) on the BPSDM Jatim TV YouTube channel ” Dr. Supeno emphasized the importance of a holistic strategy in combating corruption.
Thinking beyond norm and building innovative units
In his remarks, Dr. Supeno stressed that traditional, normative approaches are no longer sufficient to tackle corruption in today’s era. “We need extraordinary actions ” a mindset that breaks free from outdated, stagnant systems. If role models are lacking from within, we must seek them from outside,” he stated.
He encouraged government agencies to create specialized units that foster new ways of thinking, working, and operating. According to him, institutional bravery in developing innovative structures is critical for building a corruption-resistant system that can adapt to evolving challenges.
Holistic anti-corruption model: Four quadrants of prevention
Known informally as CES or Cak Eko Supeno, Dr. Supeno introduced a holistic anti-corruption framework, designed in collaboration with the UNAIR academic team. The model divides anti-corruption efforts into four interconnected quadrants: internal factors at both individual and organizational levels, and external influences impacting individuals and organizations outside of the bureaucracy. From embedding integrity in individual civil servants, reshaping organizational culture, encouraging public engagement, to strengthening alliances with the media and watchdog organizations ” Dr. Supeno stressed that these elements must work in tandem to establish a corruption-free bureaucracy.
Professionalism and ethical standards for civil servants
Addressing the broader challenge of bureaucratic reform, Dr. Supeno underscored the importance of maintaining professionalism without undue interference. “Let new ethical values take root naturally through exemplary leadership and spread organically like a positive virus,” he urged.
In conclusion, he outlined three essential principles for civil servants. First, to build resilience against misconduct. Second, to stay open to new knowledge and continuous learning. And third, to have the courage to act with integrity.
“Real change is not merely structural ” it is deeply personal. And it must start from within,” he concluded.
Dr. Eko Supeno™s participation in the webinar further solidified UNAIR™s leadership in championing transparent and accountable public governance at both regional and national levels.
