Countries worldwide strive to combat corruption

through both direct confrontation—enforcing

laws against corrupt individuals—and preventive

measures.

These measures include identifying and managing

corruption risks, implementing precautionary steps

to block its sources, and preventing it from evolving

into new forms. Achieving these strategic goals

through specific mechanisms and monitoring their

outcomes with performance indicators requires

certain "pillars" to support the process, notably the

presence of a “will for change” and tools for "managing

change".
