Results. Special attention is paid to assessing the effectiveness of existing legal instruments, institutional structures and technological solutions in the field of combating corruption. The paper presents specific statistical data characterizing the dynamics of corruption offenses and the effectiveness of disciplinary measures. Innovative approaches are analyzed, including the use of artificial intelligence, distributed ledger technology, and big data systems to identify corruption schemes. Discussion and Conclusions. The study identifies systemic problems in the implementation of anti-corruption strategies and formulates a comprehensive program for improving existing mechanisms. The proposed measures cover legal regulation, institution-building, digital transformation of government processes and the development of a culture of intolerance to corruption in society.
