Traditional anti-corruption mechanisms, often characterized by bureaucratic inefficiencies and a lack of transparency, have proven insufficient in addressing the complexity of modern financial and administrative systems. In this context, blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative tool with the potential to enhance transparency, accountability, and trust in public sector operations. This study examines the application of blockchain technology as an anti-corruption strategy in the public sector. It explores how the core features of blockchain decentralization, immutability, transparency, and traceability can be leveraged to reduce opportunities for corruption in areas such as public procurement, financial management, land registration, and voting systems. The research adopts a qualitative approach, relying on secondary data from academic literature, government reports, and case studies to analyze the effectiveness of blockchain-based solutions in combating corruption. The study identifies key benefits of blockchain implementation, including improved record-keeping, reduced human discretion, enhanced auditability, and real-time monitoring of transactions. However, it also highlights significant challenges such as high implementation costs, lack of technical expertise, resistance to change, regulatory uncertainties, and infrastructural limitations, particularly in developing countries. The findings suggest that while blockchain technology is not a complete solution to corruption, it offers a powerful complementary tool that can strengthen existing anti-corruption frameworks. The study concludes that successful adoption requires strong political will, institutional reforms, stakeholder collaboration, and capacity building. It recommends that governments adopt a phased and strategic approach to integrating blockchain technology into public sector operations to enhance transparency and reduce corruption risks....Preview Download Preview +Other Public Administration project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of industrial conflict on the performance of workers in the government parastatal (a case study of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)»Human resources as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria (a case study of Abuja municipal area council) »The influence of effective personnel management practice in organization performance»Local government financial autonomy and grass root development in Nigeria (a case study of Afikpo north local government area)»Effects of delayed payment of lecturers salaries and wages on students performance»Manpower training and development as a tool for effective performance in public sector in Nigeria»The impact of poor revenue generation on the development of Local Government Areas»Enhancing political stability in Nigeria through good governance ( a case study of Abia state)»Fuel subsidy removal and the Nigerian economy (a case study of Abakiliki local government area, Ebonyi state) »Niger-Delta crisis and its impact on socio-economic development in Nigeria»Accountability and corruption in local government in Nigeria (Case study of Bonny local government area of Rivers state)»Political instability a major hindrance to effective policy implementation and good governance (a case study of Nigeria 1983 -1999)»Bureaucracy and efficiency (a case study of Enugu state civil service)»Impact of collective bargaining techniques on industrial relations practice (a case study of two selected firms from NUPENG and NUBIFE)»The level of implementation of the pension act in federal polytechnic: (a study of Akanu Ibiam federal polytechnic, Unwana Afikpo Ebonyi state)
