Update of the brand book and development of other content for the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine
1. Background
1.1. General overview
Ukraine has embarked on the path toward combatting corruption following the Revolution of Dignity in 2014. This process included the introduction of the comprehensive anti-corruption reform measures and establishing new anti-corruption institutions.
Since 2017, Denmark and the EU in the framework of the programme “EU Anti-Corruption Initiative in Ukraine” (EUACI) in its Phase I (2017-2020) implemented by the Danish International Development Agency using the indirect implementation modality, worked extensively on assisting the Ukrainian Government in putting into life its anti-corruption agenda and with building the capacities of the new anti-corruption institutions to fight corruption in the country.
One of the main focuses of the EUACI during the Phase I was supporting the process of the establishment and putting into operation of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine (HACC), a specialized court of 38 judges mandated with adjudicating high-level corruption cases investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and prosecuted by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecution Office. HACC completes the chain of specialized bodies in the criminal justice chain established for effective investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of high-level corruption cases in Ukraine.
Based on the significant positive results attained during the Phase I, including the operational launch of HACC and functioning of its both chambers, Denmark and the EU made a decision to engage in a second phase of the programme aimed at sustaining existing results and further expanding the support to newly established anti-corruption institutions. As in Phase I, Denmark is implementing the programme on behalf of the EU and is using an indirect implementation modality based on Danish guidelines.
One of the key areas of EUACI’s support of HACC is the enhansment of capacity in public communications. Among other activities, the EUACI has assisted with the development of HACC's communication strategy and brand book.
