INTRODUCTION

Earlier, we outlined the administrative structures and procedures created within government to check corruption. In this regard, we discussed CVO and CBI; we also discussed preventive, punitive and surveillance vigilance. We now look at other approaches to reducing corruption. These approaches include: civil society activism; systemic economic and administrative reforms; clearly defining accountability; use of modern technology; promoting transparency; integrity pacts; ensuring accessibility and responsiveness of officials to public; complaints monitoring; and corruption risk management. We will end the chapter with a brief discussion on political aspects of corruption.
