Today, on December 9th, the whole world celebrates the International Anti-Corruption Day. Sixteen years ago, Ukraine ratified the UN Convention against Corruption, but in fact, the real fight against corruption began thanks to the Revolution of Dignity. Since then Ukraine began to create a powerful system of anti-corruption bodies, which is now working together with all Ukrainians for victory.
For the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), the formation of a culture of integrity and the prevention of corruption is the main contribution to the future victory.
What are the results of the NACP?
After the Russian full-scale invasion, the NACP quickly adapted to changes in society.
Despite the partial suspension of functions, the NACP not only continues to perform its duties, but also redistributes resources for wartime needs.
The suspension of mandatory declaration does not stop the NACP from checking officials. NACP resumed work on lifestyle monitoring and began monitoring 78 declarants. During this time, administrative protocols were drawn up for 5 MP's due to the inclusion of inaccurate information in the declaration for a total amount of over UAH 3.1 million.
We monitor transparent and open reporting by political parties.
Financial reports of political parties and candidates during the elections will be available to every Ukrainian through the POLITDATA portal. This issue was settled by CEC Resolution No. 90 dated August 12, 2022.
Another powerful result this year was the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of the Anti-Corruption Strategy until 2025. Currently, the NACP has developed a draft of the State Anti-Corruption Program for the Implementation of the Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2023-2025. This program will become a high-quality tool for the implementation of anti-corruption policy, the development of Ukraine as a European state, transparent post-war reconstruction and the formation of a virtuous society.
The NACP continues its work on preventing conflicts of interest.
