Transparency International Ukraine, together with the Institute of Political Education, assesses transparency by measuring the amount of the information proactively provided to citizens, the quality of preventive measures to fight corruption and the openness of governments towards citizens when they want to know information. As a part of the research, 25 of Ukraine’s largest cities will be presented in April 2017, and 100 cities in June.
All cities are measured by 91 indicators according to 13 areas:
The Maximum score for a municipality including in all areas is 100 points. Each indicator weighs 1 or 2 points. Questions in the methodology are mostly closed and provide for yes/no answers. Depending on how fully the requested information is disclosed, researchers assess the material from 0 (no information) to 1 or 2 points (information is fully disclosed).
This research is based on the Slovak methodology, which the researchers adopted to the Ukrainian context via the analysis of other similar rankings of Ukraine, consultations with experts of the Innovation Program Projects at Transparency International Ukraine. The final methodology was developed after consultations with the concerned representatives of civil society organizations, who provided their proposals of indicators. The assessment of 25 cities took place in March 2017, 100 cities will be assessed from April to June 2017.
