Abstract: Corruption affects democracy and the country's economic development since it interferes in some way with elements of the community. A number of characteristics, such as discretionary authority, monopolistic power, and minimal public servant responsibility, may potentially allow corruption to flourish. Therefore, the objective of this article is to undertake a thorough review of previous literature on development initiatives in combating corruption. PRISMA is used as a review procedure guideline. There were three major stages in the systematic review process employing WoS and Scopus as the core databases. The review discovered four main themes based on the thematic analysis (effects of corruption; causes of corruption; combating corruption; and medium of corruption) and developed nineteen sub-themes. This study provides a significant contribution to the anti-corruption agency, policymakers, and government systems in terms of implementing initiatives to fight corruption and strengthening current regulations to address the issue of corruption.
