I'll let it in, although it's pretty obvious. I think it refers to the abstract eradication. "corruption eradication measures" would be something like 汚職撲滅対策.

Lit. it is "Corruption Eradication" but I felt having a rephrased version as "anti-corruption measures" may help people understanding so I added it.

It is mainly used in newspapers and formal situations so it is not very easily found, but I talked to some native speakers for confirmation and they told me they felt it a recurring "phrase", somewhat of a fixed expression for expressing this meaning.
