‘Definitely, planning during wartime is a complicated task, but we risk losing our strategic goals without an action plan. Together with Zhytomyr we will prepare new initiatives that can create more transparency and integrity in the city,’ Allan Pagh Kristensen said.
 
Zhytomyr joined the EUACI Integrity Cities project in 2018 working on strengthening its capacity to fight corruption and develop communication between the municipality and its citizens.

The Integrity Cities project is implemented by the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative to help increase the transparency, integrity and accountability of local authorities by optimizing internal procedures and processes, involving the community in decision-making, and facilitating access to information.
