Each year, CSAAE recruits and trains up to 50 aspiring leaders in Good Governance through its Effective Leaders Program (ELP). Aspiring leaders pass through a six-month immersion year training before moving into a lifetime Network of Effective Leaders (NEAL) where they work as teams to promote good governance and facilitate civic participation. As they become leaders, they hold each other accountable on good governance
One of the ways CSAAE is promoting good governance is through good governance songs. These songs inspired and supported by CSAAE promote good governance and condemn bad governance.
CSAAE organizes annual ethics awards for undergraduates and secondary school students. One of the focal areas of the competition is corruption. The competition can be a scenario-based quiz on anti-corruption requiring contestants to provide solutions to corruption scenarios. The competition can also be an experiential essay competition requiring contestants to share personal experiences of corruption and how they safely resisted the corrupt practices. The competition can also be a debate on forms of corruption. These contests are fantastic learning opportunities for thousands of young people that participate in the contests. The contests inspire viewers to resist corruption and the youths that win the awards are motivated to not only resist corruption but also to fight corruption. Apart from cash rewards, contest papers are also published in C-Journal, a journal of African Development.
Issues on corruption is one of the focal areas of CSAAE Journal (C-Journal). CSAAE editors publish research articles that explore the origin and causes of corruption, effects of corruption and solutions to the problem of corruption.
