What can you do to help?

Many think that corruption is just a way of life and that there is nothing they can do to help the cause, but they are wrong.

Here is a list of a few things that you can do to make a difference:
Encourage your Government to ratify and enact the Convention. Countries that successfully attack corruption are far more legitimate in the eyes of their citizens, creating stability and trust.
Promote justice - Educate the public about the governments responsibility to be corruption-free. By educating the public about the Government's responsibility to be corruption-free.
Support education - Support education about ethical behavior and what corruption is and how to fight it. Bring up the youth to expect a government free of corruption.
Bring prosperity - By telling partner organizations, the private sector, Government bodies and the public about the fact that a level playing field improves a country's competitiveness.
Safeguard development - Adhere to rules on fair competition.
Improve public health - Raise the awareness of the public, the media and Governments about the costs of corruption for the health care system.

Below is a link to the United Nations Development Program for anti-corruption. It lays out a whole call to action plan for how the government, civilians, and the media can work to fight against corruption.
