Promoting integrity in the public sector
In 2004, Ukraine launched a reform of its anti-corruption legislation and issued a corresponding manual. As part of this initiative, an in-depth study of the state of corruption in the country, its perception and understanding among the population, was conducted. The survey covered not only a wide range of citizens, but also high-ranking officials, including ministers and deputy ministers.
The study identified the main corruption risks in various areas: in the government system, among judges, law enforcement officers, and in everyday life. Particular attention was paid to how Ukrainians themselves understand corruption and what problems concern society the most.
Cooperation with the Ministry of Justice as an analytical center made it possible to reflect the real picture of the situation in the country and prepare recommendations for further reforms. Due to the great complexity of the material, the study was divided into two parts. Thanks to this work, the Ministry of Justice saw a real analytical force capable of providing an objective assessment and suggestions for further work.
