Chapter 4 examines the range of possible anti-corruption activities - looking at a variety of approaches and their conceptual bases. It covers a variety of strategies – particularly focussing on those involving citizens. It points out the very great importance of identifying "clean" people to be your allies, and emphasises that the choice of strategies must be informed by local realities (attitudes, history, governance systems, and power structures). It shows that there is no easy answer to corruption, and certainly that no "one size" fits all situations. NGOs need to work pragmatically within local realities.
