DIGintegrity. Digitally transforming the fight against corruption
This report contributes to the state of the art by linking the concepts of digitalization and integrity and by proposing a public policy structure based on the adoption of digital innovations to prevent, detect and investigate corruption. The irruption of technology into the field of integrity has at least three major mechanisms of action: (1) By expanding access to information and opening data citizens have more information about their rights in their interaction with governments; (2) The advancement of digital government allows the simplification of administrative processes, and the streamlining of regulatory policy and open data infrastructures. Digitalizing procedures reduces bureaucratic discretion and opportunities for bribery (3) The use of data analytics techniques as anti-corruption devices by integrity actors inside and outside of government enables a proactive and predictive approach to systemic corruption risk management.
