Terms of Reference for the creation of the brand book and development of other content for SAPO

 General overview

The European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative in Ukraine (EUACI) is the European Union (EU) program in the area of anti-corruption in Ukraine, co-funded and implemented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark on behalf of the EU. Based on the significant results of the EUACI Phase II in 2020-2024, Denmark and the EU decided to continue a third phase of the program aimed at supporting Ukraine in its efforts to reduce corruption at the national and local level through the empowerment of citizens, civil society and state institutions.

The EUACI Phase III strategic objectives are that corruption in Ukraine is reduced; Ukraine advances with anti-corruption reform; and reconstruction in war-affected areas of Ukraine is implemented within a framework that incorporates transparency, accountability and integrity.

The EUACI has four intervention areas, namely:

  1. Support to independent state institutions fighting and preventing corruption;
  2. Transparency and accountability of the reconstruction process;
  3. Support cities in war-affected areas in enhancing integrity in the reconstruction process;
  4. Civil society and media in preventing and fighting corruption.

Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office is the EUACI partner in the intervention area 1. In December 2023 Parliament of Ukraine adopted amendments to the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine and other legislative acts of Ukraine, which strengthened the independence of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. SAPO gained more organizational autonomy from the Office of General Prosecutor and became separated prosecutor’s legal entity.

In order to ensure a clear and independent identity of SAPO, to increase its recognition by external audience there is a need to develop a logo, a brand book and a set of visuals templates for social media for SAPO.
