About the Project

This project aims to address the problems of corruption in local governments and compliance with best practices in transparency and accountability. The ongoing decentralization reform in Ukraine results in more power and financial resources being delegated to the municipalities, thus strengthening local governance.

This project aims to increase the motivation and drive of Ukrainian cities to become more transparent, accountable and participatory.

We will 1) measure the transparency of the hundred largest cities and develop a local government transparency ranking; 2) conduct a series of trainings in regions of Ukraine to spread best practices; 3) organize partner exchanges between public officials from Ukrainian cities to share experiences; and 4) organize regional workshops focused on enhancing the skills of local NGOs and activists to increase the pressure on municipalities to follow best practice.

Duration: 2 years; 15.01.2017-15.01.2019
