The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) has completed the ninth quarterly monitoring of the implementation of the measures of the State Anti-Corruption Program for 2023–2025 (SACP).
As of the end of the second quarter of 2025, state authorities had fully or partially implemented 526 SACP measures out of 1146 (45.9%), were in the process of implementing 237 measures (20.7%), failed to implement 131 measures (11.4%), and had not yet started the implementation of 252 measures (22%).
The key implemented anti-corruption measures include conducting an independent evaluation of the effectiveness of anti-corruption bodies and summarizing the application of law in criminal proceedings related to corruption and corruption-related criminal offenses.
1. The report on the results of the external independent evaluation of the effectiveness of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) was prepared and published.
A Commission for conducting the external independent evaluation (audit) of NABU’s effectiveness was established and approved the criteria and methodology of the assessment.
An external independent audit of NABU’s activities was conducted. On May 2, 2025, the Commission approved the report, which provided 26 recommendations for improving NABU’s effectiveness.
The Commission assessed NABU’s performance as moderately effective. The conclusions emphasized NABU’s strong results in detecting high-level corruption, its successful experience in international cooperation, and the introduction of modern electronic technologies, in particular the “eCase” system.
The implementation of this measure enhances the transparency of anti-corruption bodies, enables public oversight of their performance, and strengthens accountability.
This is SACP measure 2.1.7.3.2.
Implementing body: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
2. Preparation of annual summaries of the Supreme Court’s case law in criminal proceedings related to corruption and corruption-related offenses, as well as the holding of annual discussions of such summaries.
Summaries of the Supreme Court’s case law in criminal proceedings related to corruption and corruption-related offenses for 2022, 2023 and 2024 were prepared.
As a result, the following were published:
- Review of Supreme Court case law in criminal proceedings related to corruption and corruption-related criminal offenses (decisions entered into the Unified State Register of Court Decisions for 2022);
- Review of Supreme Court case law in criminal proceedings related to corruption and corruption-related criminal offenses (decisions entered for 2023);
- Review of Supreme Court case law in criminal proceedings related to corruption and corruption-related criminal offenses (decisions entered for 2024).
The current summaries of Supreme Court practice serve as a guideline for the judiciary, as well as for scholars, experts, lawyers, prosecutors, and investigators (detectives), as they promote consistency and stability of court practice in corruption-related criminal proceedings. This has a positive impact on ensuring the inevitability of criminal liability for corruption.
Such summaries also help minimize the negative impact of legislative gaps and provide practitioners with the most up-to-date and reasoned positions on complex issues of legal interpretation.
These are SACP measures 3.3.1.3.1. and 3.3.1.3.2.
Implementing body: Supreme Court.
Reminder: The progress of SACP implementation can be tracked in the Information System for Monitoring the Implementation of State Anti-Corruption Policy.
