One of the biggest impediments to
anticorruption efforts is the fact that corrupt practices
have become so institutionalized in everyday society that
citizens view them as fixed and incontestable. To break down
such an entrenched mind-set, the public s ignorance of their
rights, cynicism, fear of reprisal, and mentality of
submission to the status quo must first be defeated. Perhaps
most important, the efficacy challenge needs to be
addressed. Citizens generally must believe that they can
actually do something about corruption in order to summon
the courage to act upon that belief. Based on CommGAP s
interactions with the global anticorruption community as
well as earlier research, we were able to collate 18
representative instances (case studies) from around the
world, with real-life examples of citizens coming together
to speak up against corruption and social norms vis-à-vis
corruption or to change public services affected by corrupt
practices. This report is a one-step-up analysis of the
collated case studies, which is intended to shed light on
practical approaches, tools, and techniques that have been
successful in bringing citizens together to stand against
the daunting phenomenon of corruption. |
