Section 2: Citizen Participation in Governance In this course, we have stressed that citizen participation is a key element of an effectiv e anti-corruption program. To tackle corruption, citizens need to participate in governance and hold government officials accountable for their actions. This participation can involve advocating anti-corruption policies, monitoring government actions, and mobilizing others to push for good governance.
