Abstract: Abstract Most African states fall below the global average on Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and similar corruption measurement indexes worldwide. However, Seychelles, a small Island state, has demonstrated that the menace can be curbed, having emerged consistently, as the best-rated African State. This study explores the effectiveness of anti-corruption initiatives in Seychelles through a comparative analysis of government-led and civil society-led interventions. To tackle corruption in Seychelles, the government and civil society have implemented various strategies including legal frameworks accountability mechanisms and public awareness campaigns, to address this problem. The study examines how these initiatives have successfully reduced corruption and the contributing factors. The findings reveal that both government-led and civil society-led initiatives have had some success in reducing corruption, but there are significant differences in their approaches and outcomes. The study concludes that a collaborative effort between the government and civil society is necessary for sustained progress in the fight against corruption in Seychelles.
