There is no silver bullet for fighting corruption. Many
countries have made significant progress in curbing
corruption, however practitioners are always on the lookout
for solutions and evidence of impact. Here are five ways
that citizens and governments can make progress in the fight
against corruption:
1. End impunity
Effective law enforcement is essential to ensure the corrupt
are punished and break the cycle of impunity, or freedom
from punishment or loss.
Successful enforcement approaches are supported by a
strong legal framework, law enforcement branches and an
independent and effective court system. Civil society can
support the process with initiatives such as Transparency
International’s Unmask the Corrupt campaign.
2. Reform public administration and finance
management
Reforms focussing on improving financial management and
strengthening the role of auditing agencies have in many
countries achieved greater impact than public sector reforms
on curbing corruption.
One such reform is the disclosure of budget information,
which prevents waste and misappropriation of resources. For
example, Transparency International Sri Lanka promotes
transparent and participatory budgeting by training local
communities to comment on the proposed budgets of their
local government.
3. Promote transparency and access to information
Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long
tradition of government openness, freedom of the press,
transparency and access to information. Access to
information increases the responsiveness of government
bodies, while simultaneously having a positive effect on the
levels of public participation in a country.
Transparency International Maldives successfully advocated
for the adoption of one of the world’s strongest rights to
information law by putting pressure on local MPs via a
campaign of SMS text messages.
4. Empower citizens
Strengthening citizens demand for anti-corruption and
empowering them to hold government accountable is a
sustainable approach that helps to build mutual trust between
citizens and government. For example, community monitoring
initiatives have in some cases contributed to the detection of
corruption, reduced leakages of funds, and improved the
quantity and quality of public services.
To monitor local elections, Transparency International
Slovenia produced an interactive map that the public
populated with pictures and reports of potential irregularities
in the election. As a result, cases of public funds being
misused to support certain candidates were spotted.
5. Close international loopholes
Without access to the international financial system, corrupt
public officials throughout the world would not be able to
launder and hide the proceeds of looted state assets. Major
financial centres urgently need to put in place ways to stop
their banks and cooperating offshore financial centres from
absorbing illicit flows of money.

Difficult to deal with it. It's entrenched in every sector of economy.
