1. Background
Corruption remains endemic in Ukraine and is an impediment for its democratic and economic development. Supporting efforts to combat corruption in Ukraine is a foundation for Danish and EU support to Ukraine. European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) co-funded and implemented by DANIDA consolidates efforts directed at assisting Ukraine’s anti-corruption efforts.
The overall objective of the EU and Danish funding for anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine is to improve implementation of anti-corruption policy in Ukraine, thereby ultimately contributing to a reduction in corruption.
EU Anti-Corruption Initiative is the biggest EU support programme in the area of anti-corruption in Ukraine so far. The initiative with a duration of three years is supported by the European Commission with and by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a total budget of €15.84 million. The EU Anti-Corruption Initiative is aimed to strengthen the capacity of the newly created anti-corruption institutions and to enhance external oversight over the reform process by the Verkhovna Rada, civil society and the media.
The project has three main components:
- strengthening the operational and policy-making capacities of state institutions dealing with the prevention and fight against corruption;
- strengthening the Parliament’s oversight of reform implementation and its capacity to scrutinize and improve the strategic legislative framework;
- enhancing the capacity of local, civil society and media to contribute to the fight against corruption.
