The U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre assists donor practitioners in more effectively addressing corruption challenges through their professional support. U4 serves development agencies, one of them being GTZ (Germany), by providing resources and services.

Through an extensive online resource centre, U4 guides users to relevant anti-corruption resources, including own applied research (Themes). The work is communicated through a searchable database of projects and initiatives. Furthermore a Help Desk service is offered and online as well as in-country training on anti-corruption measures and strategies for partner agencies and their counterparts are provided for U4 partner agencies.
