Service provider to conduct stress resilience training for the

NABU and HACC staff

Background

The European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative in Ukraine (EUACI) Phase II is the biggest European Union (EU) support 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. It is a four-year program (2020-2024) building on a flagship Phase I of the EUACI, funded by the EU, implemented and co-funded by Denmark in 2017-2020. The overall objective of EUACI Phase II is the reduction of corruption in Ukraine at the national and local levels through the empowerment of citizens, civil society, business, and state institutions. Such state institutions include, in particular, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU).

After the start of full-scale russian aggression on Ukraine on 24 February 2022, Ukrainian society lives under the condition of war. This causes many problems to the physical and mental health of Ukrainian citizens. Despite that, Ukrainian anti-corruption institutions continue to work and perform their duties. The big challenge for them is how to manage the stress in their work, taking into account the ongoing situation in the country. In order to hinder the negative consequences of that, the EUACI is planning to support the staff of NABU and HACC with stress management training activities.

Objectives and results

The objective of the assignment is to conduct two offline stress resilience training (per 1 for HACC and NABU, max. 20 participants in one) with a duration of approx. 8 hours each during November 2023 – January 2024 (exact dates are to be agreed separately with anticorruption institutions).

During training, participants should learn to control their emotions, cope with negative thoughts and build healthy relationships in the team. During the training, participants should also acquire theoretical knowledge about stress and its impact on a person, and practical skills to overcome acute reactions to stress, according to the trainer's methodology.
