4. Multiple distinct solutions are required depending on

accountability mechanisms can reduce levels of
corruption when, for instance, they target relatively
homogenous populations, concentrate on topics
important to the target population, and include credible
consequences and responsive state institutions.

8. Anti-corruption organizations, however, have yet to be
much more successful. A modest amount of research
demonstrates that ACAs do not effectively combat
corruption, especially in settings with weak governance.
