Two drafts of the Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2026–2030 have been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (VRU) for consideration. Each is based on the core draft law developed and published by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) in early April this year.
Today, May 15, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved and submitted the government's draft Law “On the Principles of State Anti-Corruption Policy for 2026–2030” to the Verkhovna Rada.
Additionally, on Wednesday, May 13, Anastasiia Radina, Chair of the VRU Committee on Anti-Corruption Policy, registered a draft Law “On the Principles of State Anti-Corruption Policy for 2026–2030.”
Both documents are based on the core draft law developed by the NACP and sent to the Government on April 2, 2026. They contain the principles for formulating and implementing state anti-corruption policy for the next five years, incorporating a range of initiatives aimed at both significantly increasing the effectiveness of the overall anti-corruption system and minimising corruption in the most vulnerable sectors.
The National Agency hopes for a constructive approach and professional discussion within the Parliament regarding both initiatives, which will ultimately result in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopting the Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2026–2030 in the most ambitious version possible, mutually agreed upon by all key stakeholders in this process.
For its part, the National Agency ensures that it will provide comprehensive assistance to parliamentary committees and the Parliament as a whole in processing, considering, and refining the draft Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2026–2030.
The NACP expresses its gratitude to the developers, as well as to all stakeholders involved in this process, for their active stance in advancing this document, which is of strategic importance to the state.
The timely adoption of the Strategy is critical for fulfilling Ukraine's international obligations, particularly within the Ukraine Facility, and for implementing the Roadmap on the Rule of Law.
As a reminder, the Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2026–2030 is the result of large-scale collaborative work involving hundreds of specialists from government agencies, experts, scientists, civil society representatives, and international partners. It is based on a conceptual approach that combines two key, interconnected vectors of state anti-corruption policy development: increasing the effectiveness of the entire anti-corruption system and minimising corruption risks in the most vulnerable and strategically important sectors.
The preparation of the document took about two years and included 26 studies involving more than 130 experts. As a result, over 140 problems were identified, and more than 400 expected strategic results were formulated. Details about the work on the project can be found here.
