1. The Programme
Corruption remains endemic in Ukraine and is an impediment to democratic development in the country, which is one of the major objectives of the EU and Danish Neighborhood policy. Thus, anti-corruption reform in Ukraine is a high political priority for the EU and Denmark and is a foundation for other ongoing Danish and EU support to the country.
The EUACI is a joint EU and Government of Denmark financed programme aimed at supporting Ukraine in its efforts to reduce corruption at the national and local level through the empowerment of citizens, civil society, businesses, and state institutions. In May 2020, the EUACI entered into its Phase II that runs until mid-2024.
The overall objective of the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative Phase II is to improve the implementation of the Ukraine’s anti-corruption policy by supporting the key anti-corruption state institutions: strengthening oversight of reform implementation by Parliament; and at national and local level supporting civil society, investigative media, business and local governments, thus substantially improving Ukraine’s overall performance in the fight against corruption.
