Support to good governance: Project against corruption in Ukraine (UPAC)
UPAC Project aimed at strengthening Ukrainian institutions’ capacities in their anti-corruption efforts. The project was jointly funded by the European Commission and the Council of Europe. It started on 8 June 2006 and lasted until December 2010.
Corruption is considered to be a serious problem in Ukraine. The authorities of Ukraine acknowledged that corruption is a priority issue requiring comprehensive and serious countermeasures. This project assisted Ukraine’s anti-corruption effort in a broad manner. It comprises three components:
- Support to the creation of the strategic and institutional framework against corruption.
- Strengthening of capacities for the prevention of corruption.
- Strengthening of the legal framework and the enforcement of anti-corruption legislation.
