"With regards to actual implementations of ICT tools for anti-corruption, six main categories emerge: r-government and the digital public services; crowdsourcing platforms; whistleblowing platforms; transparency platforms; news reporting and dissemination platforms; DLT & blockchain technology. The report analyses each category of tools, using reviews of existing literature as well as interviews with key experts and leaders of ICT anti-corruption projects to offer insights on use cases, implantation considerations, and advantages and disadvantages of a given tool. For example, crowdsourcing platforms benefit significantly from the existence of a follow-up mechanism that allows citizen complaints to be acted upon, and transparency platforms centred on freedom of information requests are likely to succeed only if citizens feel empowered to make requests of their own without fear of being seen as confrontational or facing retribution."
