9 December is a day to remind citizens, organizations, and governments about the shared responsibility to prevent and combat corruption.
Over the past decade, Ukraine has made remarkable progress: independent anti-corruption institutions have been established, a public asset declaration registry was put in place and the Prozorro e-procurement system was introduced. Just to mention a few highlights.
Ukraine’s progress was demonstrated by moving up on the latter of Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index from country number 144 to country number 104 out of 180.
“At the EUACI, we continue to support the many important developments in the anti-corruption field. During the last few months, we have engaged in new and interesting initiatives such as the reconstruction of school canteens, working with gender and HR at NABU, supporting DOT, preparing for EU accession, selecting 9 new civil society partners and launching a strategic work on integrity in education. All our good work would not be possible without our excellent Ukrainian partners – and not without my fantastic EUACI team that continues to deliver much more than anyone can expect. Thanks so much.” Allan Pagh Kristensen, Head of the EUACI, comments.
There is still much work ahead. The EUACI will continue to stand by Ukraine, supporting anti-corruption agencies, local governments, and civil society.
We believe that only together we can make Ukraine stronger, more successful, and more transparent.
The timeline is prepared together with the EU project Pravo-Justice.
