Digital governance has become a transformative tool in increasing transparency, accountability, and efficiency in government. This paper aims to analyze the role of digital governance management in supporting sustainable governance, especially in eradicating corruption as an effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The methodology used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). This study identifies, evaluates, and synthesizes existing literature regarding digital governance implementation across various countries to analyze its role in eradicating corruption. The results of the analysis show that the integration of digital technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data can significantly reduce corrupt practices by increasing transparency and minimizing human intervention. This paper concludes that digital governance management is a crucial innovation in realizing sustainable and corruption-free governance. The theoretical implication of this research lies in expanding the discourse on digital governance as a core component of sustainable development. For practical and policy implications, this paper offers a strategic foundation for governments to design and implement transparent, technology-based systems that minimize human intervention and prevent corrupt practices.
