Results of anti-corruption reform

The EU-Leap team attended the premiere of the film After the Era of Silence, which tells the story of the fight against corruption after Ukraine declared independence.

Anti-corruption reform began in 2014 after the Revolution of Dignity. In 11 years, Ukraine has risen from 152nd place in the corruption perception ranking to 105th. This is the result of the work of NABU detectives and SAP prosecutors, as well as the High Anti-Corruption Court, which has handed down 312 verdicts in its six years of operation. For comparison, the number of verdicts before the creation of the HACC averaged 10 per year.

The reform continues, with civil society helping to strengthen the independence of anti-corruption institutions and exercise public control and transparency monitoring. Think tanks, human rights organizations, and investigative journalists are uncovering new schemes, drafting legislative proposals, and putting pressure on the authorities to avoid rolling back the gains.

We must continue to build an effective system to prevent new manifestations of corruption in partnership with the EU and international organizations. It is thanks to the synergy between the state, society, and international partners that Ukraine has a chance to make transparency, accountability, and the inevitability of punishment the foundation of its European future.

The film was produced by hromadske in partnership with the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NAZK) with the support of the European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative in Ukraine (EUACI).
