According to a survey conducted by the Vox Ukraine think tank in cooperation with the Factum Group agency, Ukrainians’ priorities for the country’s future development are as follows:
-
over 81% consider anti-corruption reform to be the most important,
-
52% healthcare reform,
-
and 47% mention judicial reform.
According to citizens, the most successful changes have so far been performed in the areas of digitalization, healthcare, decentralization, privatization, and the land market. At the same time, the main challenges to reforms are the full-scale war against Ukraine – and corruption.
The research was presented on 21 August during the panel discussion “Reforms for Victory”. Find out more in the full version of the research here: https://cutt.ly/CwjWJZUB
During the discussion, Taras Sluchyk, Head of EUACI’s Integrity Cities component, spoke in more detail about the results of the work in the regions and the key challenges in the recovery process.
“To minimize corruption risks, we need a synergy of three elements: processes, people and numbers. At the initiative of Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych and with the support of the EUACI, Mykolaiv City Council was the first in Ukraine to launch the transparent construction estimates. It increases transparency of the procurement processes in the city step by step,” – noted Taras Sluchyk.
