Abstract
The fight against corruption has been one of the main priorities at the national, regional and international levels. However, drawbacks remain in the process of improving public service delivery. The objective of the study was to evaluate the suitability of available anti-corruption mechanisms to combat corruption in selected public institutions in Ecuador. The methodological design that the study adopted was phenomenological-hermeneutical, since the researcher associates and interprets the meanings of his experiences with corruption. The study population comprised all the heads of the institutions that were considered in the multisectoral approach to the fight and prevention of corruption. It was concluded that international, regional and national mechanisms have been vulnerable and flexible to combat corruption. This is because there is a problem in the sentencing regime for corruption offenses where courts can impose unreasonable low sentences that are not adequate to deter offenders who promote corrupt practices.
