As Ukraine moves forward in its EU accession process, the fight against corruption remains a top priority. Independent research, policy monitoring, and strategic advocacy play a key role in ensuring transparency and accountability — fundamental values of European integration.
To reinforce these efforts, the EUACI will support six projects that would strengthen anti-corruption advocacy and analytics in the context of EU negotiations. After a competitive selection process, we are proud to introduce the winning projects:
NGO Technology of Progress
The project aims to strengthen parliamentary oversight and public accountability in Ukraine’s financial sector by providing independent analytical support on tax administration, state audits, and public expenditure monitoring. It will equip policymakers and the public with structured, data-driven insights to ensure Ukraine’s fiscal governance aligns with EU standards, particularly those outlined in Chapter 16: Taxation of the EU acquis.
Center for Economic Strategy
This project will support the harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with EU standards in two areas: Chapter 22 (Regional Policy) and Chapter 16 (Taxation). Through comprehensive legal monitoring and in-depth analysis, the project will identify corruption risks and provide policy recommendations to ensure alignment with European principles.
Center for Social and Economic Research ‘CASE Ukraine’
Focusing on transparency in taxation and customs, this project will monitor key negotiation topics, and counter harmful narratives. By providing fact-based discussions and multimedia content, it aims to engage the public in the EU accession process and prevent misinformation.
NGO European Pravda
With a strong focus on public awareness, this project will provide consistent, in-depth coverage of Ukraine’s EU accession process. The team will analyze key negotiations, highlight anti-corruption commitments, and advocate for the proper implementation of EU-aligned reforms.
Civil Society Organization “Anti-Corruption Action Center”
This initiative aims to enhance independent monitoring and evidence-based advocacy for Ukraine’s anti-corruption and rule-of-law reforms. By identifying gaps and risks, the project will engage with decision-makers to drive necessary legislative and institutional changes.
Civil Control Platform
Focusing on Ukraine’s cultural heritage, this project will identify corruption risks in the preservation and documentation of cultural sites. By monitoring transparency in five major cities and assessing progress under the State Anti-Corruption Programme, it will propose sector-specific anti-corruption measures.
We appreciate all applicants for their innovative ideas and commitment to driving change. Stay tuned!
