Project Summary:

The Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program in Ukraine is a six-year USAID initiative that has the objective to assist Ukraine to reduce corruption and increase the accountability and transparency of governance in Ukraine. The program seeks to empower key government institutions to fight corruption, build public support for and engagement in anti-corruption efforts, and reduce citizen tolerance of corruption. SACCI works with a wide spectrum of anti-corruption stakeholders, including specialized anti-corruption bodies, governmental institutions at national and local levels, the private sector, and civil society watchdog organizations. Support of merit-based competitions for heads of anti-corruption institutions is one of the key priorities for SACCI. It is important to ensure that future heads of the institutions have an irreproachable reputation, strong managerial capacities, and unquestionable integrity. On 15 January 2024, the powers of the head of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) will expire. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine will adopt the composition of the commission for the selection of the new Head and the selection process will begin.
