Understanding How the Traditional and Information Technology Anti-Corruption Strategies intertwine to Curb Public Sector Corruption: A Systematic Literature Review

The prevalence of public sector corruption has been a major concern for successive governments and citizenry. In order to curb corruption, previous studies have focused on anti-corruption strategies adopted by governments in isolation, but few studies have focused on the interactions between anti-corruption strategies.
