Resume

Corruption is one of the greatest threats to the development of society, as it undermines citizens' trust in government bodies, causes significant economic losses, and slows down the implementation of reforms. In Ukraine, the problem of corruption is particularly acute, as its scale affects all areas of life, from public administration to business and social services. However, with the development of digital technologies, new effective mechanisms for combating this phenomenon have emerged. The introduction of digital solutions in public administration makes it possible to significantly reduce corruption risks, make government processes more transparent, simplify citizens' interaction with government agencies, and ensure effective control over financial and administrative processes. The article analyzes digital solutions used to prevent corruption in public service in Ukraine. It examines the main tools of e-governance, including the Prozorro public procurement system, electronic declarations, open registries, and online public control platforms. It outlines the role of open data in ensuring transparency in public administration and minimizing corruption risks. Particular attention is paid to the use of artificial intelligence, automated analysis systems, and blockchain technologies in the fight against corruption. The impact of digital technologies on increasing the accountability of public servants, reducing opportunities for abuse, and improving the efficiency of management processes is examined. The main challenges facing digital anti-corruption initiatives in Ukraine are considered separately, in particular, insufficient digital literacy, the risks of cyberattacks, the low effectiveness of legislative regulation, and resistance from corrupt groups. The prospects for the development of digital solutions in the field of anti-corruption are identified, including the expansion of open registries, the introduction of innovative technologies, and the strengthening of international cooperation in the field of digital security. Recommendations are made for improving digital anti-corruption mechanisms, increasing public control, and improving access to information resources.
