Profile of Organisation
Transparency International Ukraine (TIU) is an accredited chapter of the global movement Transparency International with a comprehensive approach to development and implementation of change to reduce corruption levels. Within its strategic priorities, TIU aims to mitigate corruption risks at the national and local level by increasing transparency and accountability in authorities’ work, engaging the maximum number of allies, and ensuring an effective system of punishment for corruption-related violations. Since 2014, the organisation has focused on monitoring anti-corruption reform implementation and improvement of anti-corruption policy. TIU played a major part in the launch of the High Anti-Corruption Court and continues to monitor this and other anti-corruption institutions’ work.
Our team is constantly advocating for improvement advocated proper functioning and reorganisation of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention, Asset Recovery and Management Agency, and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office. Besides this, TIU played an essential role in the procurement reform in Ukraine by developing and consigning the ProZorro and ProZorro.Sale, e-Health, and E-Data electronic systems to the government. The organisation executes oversight of compliance with public procurement legislation and principles of the ProZorro system through the community united around the DOZORRO project. Now, the TIU team moved further and started implementing transparency and accountability at the local level through the Transparent Cities program.
Organisation’s Experience
