ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an overview of the different ways in which digital technologies have been developed and used to support the fight against corruption in Brazil, taking into account their history and the people who have made them possible. The chapter covers both top-down digital technologies, which are used internally within the public services sector to support monitoring and investigative tasks and to interact with civil society, and bottom-up digital technologies, which are developed by civil society actors to monitor potentially corrupt practices and expose corruption. The focus is on the rise of so-called integrity techies, their alliances and the types of digital technologies they use to fight corruption. Integrity techies are a diverse group of actors who use digital technologies to strengthen public integrity by fighting corruption, increasing transparency, and improving accountability. Both the emergence of integrity techies and their digital technologies have been made possible by the level of digitalisation, transparency, and accessible open data available in the federal public services sector in Brazil.
