CONTEXT UPDATE

This reporting period saw significant shakeups in Ukraine’s political arena with the dismissal of most of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (CMU) as well as leading reformers in the civil service and justice sector. Coupled with the COVID-19 outbreak, these changes in the country’s high-level management significantly influenced the course of this reporting period and will continue to influence Ukraine’s governance and anti-corruption trajectory.

During the reporting period, the political situation began changing drastically. The head of the Office of the President, , was dismissed in mid-February and replaced with attorney Andriy Yermak. Before heading the Office of the President, Mr. Yermak served on President Zelenskyy’s team, and his responsibilities included negotiating an end to the armed conflict with Russia and reintegration of the Donbas region. He retained this responsibility in his new position. In March 2020, Prime Minister and his entire cabinet resigned. A newly appointed prime minister, , proposed a new composition for the CMU. A few positions remained vacant as of the end of March. Most key ministers were replaced but several retained their positions—most notably, and to the dismay of many civil society observers, Minister of the Interior .

SACCI’s counterpart institutions also experienced leadership changes. CMU Minister Dmytro Dubilet was replaced by Oleh Niemchynov; Vadym Gutsait took over the Ministry for Youth, Sports, and Culture; and Ilya Yemets was appointed to the minister of health post, which he had held in 2010–2011. However, his tenure was short-lived and on March 30, he was replaced by Maksym Stepanov, former Odesa oblast governor. Minister of Education Anna Novosad resigned from her position in protest of the appointment of Shmyhal, leaving her post vacant. In addition, the head of the National Agency for Civil Service (NACS), Oleksandr Starodubtsev, who had initiated large-scale reform of the civil service, was dismissed. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Digital Transformation and Minister of Infrastructure Vladyslav Krykliy retained their positions. The president sought to justify the changes by emphasizing a need for more experienced operatives to lead the cabinet of ministers.

During the reporting period, the composition of Ukraine’s political forces also changed. The Servant of the People Party’s unanimity in Parliament began to crumble. Discord in the party was evident during the passing of crucial draft laws on selling farmland. Party unity also fractured during contentious parliamentary legislative sessions on improving the banking system’s governance to include banning the return of nationalized banks to former owners, such as returning Privatbank to notorious oligarch Ihor Kolomoiskyi. Discussions on direct negotiation with the self-proclaimed authorities of the People’s Republic (DNR) and Lugansk People’s Republic (LNR) were also affected by discord within the president’s party. Implementing land and banking reform is critical for Ukraine to meet conditions for the much-needed International Monetary Fund (IMF) financial stabilization loan of $5.5 billion over the next three years. On the last day of March, the Verkhovna Rada (VRU) adopted the land reform law, albeit with many amendments to the version passed at the first reading in November 2019. Also, the draft law on improved banking system governance was passed in the first reading only, with the support of other factions. Servant of the People did not have enough votes within their ranks to move these hotly debated draft laws to the president’s desk, even though they possessed a majority in the VRU.

With Andriy Yermak as head of the Office of the President, new developments emerged in the Donbas military conflict. On March 11, the Trilateral Contact Group preliminarily agreed to establish an advisory

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 3

Consultation Council elevating the self-proclaimed DNR and LNR to direct negotiators with Ukraine, reducing the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s role and placing Russia in the role of observer along with Germany and France. This decision, when made public by the media, triggered a strong backlash from opposing parties and civil society criticizing the presidential administration for concessions to Moscow. A dissenting group of parliamentary deputies from the Servant of the People Party joined opposition parties in voicing concerns about this decision, indicating the divergence of political streams within the president’s party. The COVID-19 pandemic prevented the official signing of the agreement, giving the Office of the President a chance to reassess its decision. In the meantime, violence in the occupied territories continues and prospects for reintegration remain unclear.

The response to the outbreak of COVID-19 highlighted the administration’s deficiencies in crisis management. In March, Ukraine closed its borders and airspace and implemented other measures to prevent the virus’s spread. However, macroeconomic instability, slow and ineffective response to the outbreak, allegations of corruption in medical procurement, and accusations of poor preparedness for treatment of COVID-19 patients damaged public trust in the government. Leadership instability at the Ministry of Health raised concerns over whether the ministry could effectively spearhead Ukraine’s crisis management efforts. Moreover, the country’s economic stability is severely weakened, causing the to sell bonds on the stock market to stabilize the currency. Additionally, the unprecedented shift to telework by most of the workforce, including government officials, slowed the implementation of reforms, including on corruption prevention, as Government of Ukraine (GOU) institutions scrambled to maintain continuity of operations under the severely restricted operating environment.

During the reporting period, three major issues dominated anti-corruption discourse: (1) new leadership at the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption (NAPC); (2) the removal of Ruslan Riaboshapka from the position of prosecutor general of Ukraine and his replacement by Iryna Venediktova; and (3) attempts to dismiss the head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), Artem Sytnyk. The period lacked any key anti-corruption breakthroughs and was characterized by a continuation of the trend of expressions of political intent rather than real actions, along with attempts to circumvent, postpone, or soften international aid conditionality.

With new leadership in place, NAPC is undergoing both a staff reorganization and reform for a stronger stance on its corruption prevention mandate. However, it is challenged by deadlines set by the law for developing an online system for monitoring of political party financing, establishing secure channels for whistleblower reporting, and other directives. Moreover, due to the pandemic, the deadline for submitting electronic asset declarations by government officials shifted to June 1, delaying the litmus test of NAPC effectiveness under the new leadership, which is crucial for establishing public trust in the agency.

Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) internal reforms and key personnel changes have been significantly impacted by the replacement of the prosecutor general and subsequent resignation and dismissal of key PGO personnel. The civil society community was most concerned with the dismissal of the deputy prosecutor general, who had made considerable progress in the investigation into the death of well- known anti-corruption activist Kateryna Handziuk.

Despite notable progress made in fall 2019, anti-corruption legislation needs further improvement and gap filling. This includes passing legislation on lobbying, amending the foundational law on the Secret

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 4

Service of Ukraine to prevent it from exercising power over investigating anti-corruption economic crimes, and adopting the new National Anti-Corruption Strategy, which NAPC started drafting in January 2020. All anti-corruption institutions are in place, although the Anti-Corruption Council under the President (ACCP) has been inactive since its first inaugural meeting in fall 2019.

In its quest for EU integration, Ukraine has yet to implement key Council of Europe Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO) recommendations concerning prevention of corruption among judges, prosecutors, and members of Parliament. At the end of March, GRECO published a new compliance report on Ukraine examining the implementation of 31 recommendations made by GRECO in January 2017 on corruption risks among judges, prosecutors, and members of Parliament in Ukraine. Of the 31 recommendations, only 5 were satisfactorily implemented, 15 were partially implemented, and 11 were not implemented at all. Chief among the recommendations yet to be implemented is the development of a code of professional ethics for members of Parliament. Notably, GRECO welcomed the new law rebooting NAPC and noted that it is crucial to ensure the agency’s independence and impartiality. GRECO also emphasized the importance of NAPC communications activities and cooperation with the Public Oversight Council.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

KEY NARRATIVE ACHIEVEMENTS

Although the post-election legislative “turbo mode” began to subside in this reporting period, SACCI capitalized on new opportunities to support strengthening Ukraine’s corruption prevention mechanisms, particularly through the relaunch of NAPC. The newly selected NAPC head appointed the key management of the agency (deputy heads and unit directors) and began actively restructuring the institution and improving its effectiveness. Among NAPC priorities are bolstering the agency’s institutional capacity, improving IT capabilities, developing the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and Plan, strengthening whistleblower protections in corruption-related cases, improving financial control mechanisms (e-declarations), strengthening authorized (corruption prevention) units (AUs), strengthening oversight of political party financing, and bolstering public communications to build public trust. Consequently, SACCI, in collaboration with the Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI), began providing robust support to NAPC’s human and institutional capacity development, legal and regulatory drafting, policy development function, strategic planning capacity, and oversight and enforcement functions, as well as assistance in implementing IT solutions to improve efficiency and accountability in carrying out its core mandates.

In the national policy and legislative arena, SACCI supported NAPC with developing Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Strategy and drafting several legislation pieces to advance implementation of the whistleblower protection law. SACCI also assisted NAPC in drafting bylaws and internal regulations concerning (1) NAPC organizational structure and its key departments; (2) requirements to and establishment of the AUs in state governmental bodies and bodies of local self-governance; (3) provision of NAPC`s consent for dismissing an AU head; (4) conducting NAPC inspections of compliance by state governmental bodies and local self-governance bodies to anti-corruption legislation; (5) official explanations by NAPC on issues of financial control (defining the rules for completing the declarations), delivering an audit of the declaration form, and proposing the elimination of technical deficiencies; and (6) changes to the CMU Provision #952 on the NAPC Public Oversight Council (POC).

SACCI’s IT team helped NAPC with developing the technical requirements for protecting whistleblower channels, to be agreed upon with the Ministry of Justice. SACCI, in coordination with the EUACI project, also began helping NAPC with building a case management system like the one used by NABU. In addition, SACCI, in close cooperation with the EUACI and International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) projects, began assisting NAPC with creating a political party financing reporting register. Other IT-related assistance included creation of the platform for AU interaction.

Moreover, SACCI supported NAPC in ensuring timely asset declarations from public officials by organizing the “Declare 2020” communications campaign, providing trainings on e-declaring, and launching the NAPC hotline to answer questions from declarants. SACCI also supported NAPC with preparations for launching the POC to ensure transparency and civilian oversight at NAPC.

Cooperation with the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers (SCMU) and Ministries of Infrastructure (MIU) and of Health (MOH) slowed in the reporting period, in part due to a change in leadership at the institutions and the need to reestablish working-level connections. Furthermore, NAPC’s relaunch remained the focus for the project and demanded much of the team’s attention. However, SACCI provided corruption prevention assistance to other national agencies, including the following:

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 6

• Cooperating closely with the Ministry for Digital Transformation (MDT) on e-health system development and e-sick leaves project implementation. SACCI assisted the MDT with coordinating its technical expertise and legal commitments as formulated by relevant bylaws. • Responding to a request from the National Agency for Civil Service to assist in hiring analysts for conducting integrity checks of candidates for top-level civil service positions.

On anti-corruption communications and public engagement activities, SACCI concentrated on assisting NAPC as it sought to revamp its critical internal and external communications functions. In particular, after the NAPC relaunch, the team provided extensive transitional and crisis communications support, including an NAPC reputational analysis, NAPC communications strategy peer review, social media training for NAPC leadership and social media guidance for staff, crisis communications expert support, and anti-corruption bodies media monitoring.

SACCI also continued supporting the MDT with a large-scale communications campaign promoting a unified brand for e-governance services in Ukraine as a corruption prevention measure.

At the regional level, SACCI continued to work with its local champion institutions (the cities of Khmelnytskiy, Mukacheve, Pervomaiskyi, and Pokrov) to enhance their internal corruption prevention mechanisms and launch citizen-government dialogue on transparency, integrity, and accountability. In particular, SACCI provided assistance to the municipalities of Pokrov and Pervomaiskyi on improving regulations concerning access to public information, dealing with citizens’ complaints, and engagement of citizens in decision making. In Khmelnytskiy, the team acted on one of the recommendations for better transparency from their IIFA assessment by assessing the city’s IT infrastructure and capacity for developing a city geoportal. SACCI also fully engaged its regional coordinators in this quarter. The regional coordinators in each champion city analyzed their community’s youth policies and practices and prepared recommendations for SACCI and local authorities. The coordinators actively organized events for youth and local CSOs on youth and anti-corruption initiatives.

Furthermore, SACCI sustained its cooperation with civil society in corruption prevention activities. SACCI’s partner grantee Ukraine Crisis Media Center (UCMC) worked on developing individually tailored communications activities to respond to the regions’ varying communications needs, employed a “constructive journalism” approach during regional events, and continued management of its Constructive Journalism Facebook page as a tool for strengthening journalists’ capacity in objectively covering corruption and anti-corruption issues. SACCI continued supporting the CSO White Collar Hundred (WCH) in empowering civic activists and journalists to monitor the lifestyles of public officials relative to their declared assets. Additionally, SACCI facilitated knowledge sharing between the WCH experts and the NAPC team to improve and protect NAPC`s asset declaration verification system. SACCI also supported development of a manual by its partner CSO Eidos on setting up and supporting local POC functions. In the last quarter, SACCI maintained its support for youth development and engagement on anti- corruption issues both directly and through grantees and partners. In the framework of supporting the NAPC relaunch, SACCI helped create the Education Office responsible for citizen outreach and youth engagement in preventing corruption. SACCI also assisted in the conceptual development of an NAPC youth internship program. Additionally, SACCI’s partners and grantees were active in developing tools for reducing youth tolerance for corruption. SACCI’s partner grantee Transparency International Ukraine (TIU) sought to

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 7

build parents’ awareness of school budgeting priorities. SACCI grantee EdCamp Ukraine developed the “Web of Corruption Schemes” anti-corruption quest aimed at creating virtuous behavior among students. As part of SACCI and Ukrainian Leadership Academy (ULA) cooperation, SACCI conducted a focus group with ULA students to evaluate this quest. EdCamp also compiled an anti-corruption lesson teacher’s guide and a student workbook and engaged teachers in trainings on anti-corruption tools through mini-EdCamps. SACCI grantee Anti-Corruption Research and Education Center (ACREC) at the National University Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (NaUKMA) also supported the advancement of anti- corruption studies in higher education through the launch of a unique anti-corruption master’s degree program.

QUANTITATIVE HIGHLIGHTS SACCI measures its progress against 21 indicators and reports annually on each indicator. It collects data regularly to routinely measure ongoing progress. SACCI achieved the following results during the reporting period:

ACTIVITY ADMINISTRATION

During the reporting period, as a result of NAPC institutional and structural changes and the appointment of the new head, SACCI returned to the project’s primary objective—namely, to support

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 9

NAPC as a major beneficiary of the project. SACCI revised the annual work plan accordingly and it was approved by USAID during this reporting period. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, SACCI had to revisit its work plan and consider options for adjusting activities. At the same time, SACCI proposed for USAID consideration a set of additional activities that SACCI can implement within the scope of its mandate and available resources to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUBSEQUENT REPORTING PERIOD

According to the updated annual work plan, SACCI will focus on the following priorities:

• Provide technical assistance to NAPC on human and institutional capacity development, legal and regulatory drafting, strengthening of policy development, oversight, enforcement functions, and implementation of information technology (IT) solutions to improve efficiency and accountability in carrying out central mandates. SACCI will support NAPC in performing a broad spectrum of tasks, including declaring assets, whistleblowing, conducting and tracking corruption risk assessments and institutional corruption prevention programs, coordinating and overseeing anti-corruption AUs, leading National Anti-Corruption Strategy development, and other areas as requested.

• Continue strengthening anti-corruption policies and legal frameworks by contributing to drafting or facilitation of informed, expert-driven public discussions on key legislation and regulations. The list of such regulations includes whistleblower protection, the National Anti-Corruption Strategy, a code of conduct for VRU members, and other regulations.

• Assist the MDT in developing digitalization policy and incorporating anti-corruption considerations into their ongoing reform efforts, including through the “” (State and I) e- services initiative.

• Support the NACS and facilitate collaboration with NAPC on further development and implementation of an anti-corruption e-training and certification course for civil servants and public officials.

• Support local champion institutions to develop and strengthen effective corruption prevention measures based on the results and recommendations of the Institutional Integrity Framework Assessment (IIFA). Assistance will include implementing policies and procedures for managing conflicts of interest, strengthening internal controls and audit functions, implementing effective complaint management and whistleblowing systems, and enhancing public transparency and accountability mechanisms.

• Strengthen communications capacities of SACCI beneficiary government institutions, particularly NAPC, and support effective public communications campaigns to build citizen awareness of corruption impacts, inform citizens about ways to avoid corruption-related situations, and increase awareness about anti-corruption reforms and efforts.

• Engage citizens (youth in particular) in corruption prevention activities, especially in the areas that coincide with NAPC mandates such as developing anti-corruption policies, implementing whistleblower protection mechanisms, verifying asset declarations, managing

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 10

conflicts of interest, and holding the government accountable on implementing its anti- corruption reform agenda.

• Continue providing rapid response assistance to the GOU through short-term technical assistance, national and international expertise, organization of events, and collaboration with other donor-supported projects and initiatives to ensure ongoing anti-corruption reform.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, some of the activities listed above may be delayed or modified. Other activities may be added based on discussions with USAID on SACCI’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

KEY NARRATIVE ACHIEVEMENTS

CROSSCUTTING ACTIVITIES

TASK 0.1. UPDATE POLITICAL ECONOMY ANALYSIS

SACCI developed an update to the anti-corruption political economy analysis (PEA) that captured developments over the past three months. Among the most notable developments that impacted anti- corruption efforts are NAPC’s reboot and the dismissal of the prime minister and his cabinet. The PEA reflected on the shift from the new administration’s initially hopeful anti-corruption agenda and rapid adoption of legislative anti-corruption initiatives to concerning signs of backsliding emanating from major political changes in the government. COVID-19-related restrictions might influence the anti-corruption agenda by postponing some corruption prevention measures. For instance, the deadline for public officials’ submission of e-declarations was shifted from April 1, 2020, to June 1, 2020.

TASK 0.2. PROVIDE POLICY PAPERS AND OTHER ANALYTICAL DOCUMENTS TO ENABLE INFORMED POLICY DECISIONS

SACCI is engaged in producing two analytical pieces. SACCI partner UCMC is working on an updated version of the “Blind Zones of Corruption”1 research, which will feature the most recent trends in corruption perception. SACCI’s U.S. small business subcontractor Making Cents International is preparing a report on best practices for citizen engagement by anti-corruption institutions around the world. This analysis will inform NAPC on the best modality for citizen engagement. The research findings are expected to be finalized in the next quarter.

TASK 0.3. ACT ON INFORMATION OF THE GENDER/VULNERABLE GROUPS CORRUPTION ASSESSMENT

SACCI and its grantee Studena finalized 12 videos of women sharing their personal stories about fighting corruption. From February 4 to March 24, SACCI conducted a social media marketing campaign based on these videos. The videos were placed on SACCI’s Facebook and Instagram pages under the hashtag #DemocrasyIs, asking the audience to share their stories of female anti-corruption champions in their communities. As of March 19, the videos had reached about 150,000 people and gathered more than 2,300 reactions, comments, and shares. As a follow-up activity, SACCI launched a giveaway to encourage the audience to engage with the videos.2 Three book gift certificates were raffled off among those who shared their experience and thoughtful comments.

TASK 0.4. MAINTAIN SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEBSITE PRESENCE TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC

During the reporting period, SACCI's Facebook audience grew by 21 percent (from 10,516 followers in January to 12,688 followers in March), and its Instagram audience grew by 11 percent (from 741 followers in January to 805 followers in March). SACCI’s Telegram channel continues to gain a loyal audience. Although the number of followers has fallen since the last reporting period (from 979

followers in December to 890 followers in March) due to the elimination of fake/inactive accounts, around 500 followers (around 60 percent) view the posts daily.

In late February and March, priority was given to promoting NAPC’s “Declare 2020” campaign on Facebook to facilitate timely submission of declarations by public servants. As of March 23, the campaign had reached 1,402,228 people and was prolonged to June 1 as the deadline for declaration submission had been extended.

SACCI responded to the outbreak of COVID-19 by posting relevant information to build public awareness about the epidemic and engage youth in online anti-corruption activities. SACCI’s social media contractor Online.UA also conducted a webinar for SACCI staff, regional coordinators, and partners (EdCamp Ukraine, USAID Energy Security Project) on adapting social media to the changes imposed by the COVID-19 outbreak.

TASK 0.5. CONDUCT ACTIVITIES TO COMMEMORATE INTERNATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION DAY

This task was completed in the previous quarter. See progress report for October–December 2019.

TASK 0.6. INVEST IN IDEAS FOR COMMON ANTI-CORRUPTION BRANDING

SACCI continued supporting and promoting the MDT’s “Diia” (The State and I) initiative, a unified portal for all e-services provided by the central government. Through its subcontractor Fedoriv Com, SACCI’s initial support included producing a video marketing the portal as “human-centered, transparent, and accountable.” Subsequently, the MDT decided to focus on a stream of services for private entrepreneurs as one of the most proactive user groups and receptive audiences for “going digital.” During the reporting period, Fedoriv Com collected insights from individual entrepreneurs, and SACCI developed a communications strategy for the digital state brand prioritizing promotion to private entrepreneurs.

With NAPC pursuing the development of the new National Anti-Corruption Strategy, SACCI will discuss with the agency the development of a common brand for activities implemented under the umbrella of the strategy.

TASK 0.7. COORDINATE ACTIVITIES WITH USAID AND OTHER DONOR PROJECTS

During the reporting period, SACCI cooperated most intensively with the EUACI in support of the newly appointed NAPC leadership. As in the previous quarter, the project worked closely with the USAID ENGAGE and DOBRE projects on a “Taxpayer Movement” campaign, as well as development of the PEA. SACCI cooperated with IFES on supporting NAPC to establish an online system for political party financing monitoring. SACCI also continues to work in close collaboration with its sister USAID anti-corruption project TAPAS to support the MDT on e-citizen services.

TASK 0.8. CONDUCT SOLUTIONS HUB ACTIVITIES TO GENERATE INNOVATIVE IDEAS TO ADDRESS ANTI-CORRUPTION ISSUES

On February 18, 2020, SACCI conducted a Solutions Hub in with participants of the “Pedagogics of Partnership” training to gather feedback on the “Corruption or Not” brochure. The brochure helps teachers and parents better understand integrity issues and corruption prevention in the

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 13

academic environment. The session confirmed the strong demand for the brochure and the need for further discussions with stakeholders—the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MESU), parent associations, and educational CSOs—to find consensus on the brochure’s content. Another useful suggestion that emerged was to use the brochure for informational campaigns on integrity in schools at the national and regional levels.

OBJECTIVE 1: KEY GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS EMPOWERED TO FIGHT CORRUPTION

ER 1.1: COMPREHENSIVE ANTI-CORRUPTION LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK DEVELOPED AND ADOPTED

TASK 1.1.1. SUPPORT DRAFTING AND PROMOTION OF NATIONAL LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS Throughout the reporting period, SACCI contributed to several pieces of key national-level anti- corruption legislation and regulations, such as the following:

• Whistleblower protection. SACCI experts developed two documents for establishing secure reporting channels for whistleblowers as required by legislation adopted in late 2019. This includes (1) the Concept on Creation of Channels for Whistleblower Reporting and (2) draft legislation introducing a unified web portal for whistleblower reports. Both documents have been shared with key stakeholders and approved by NAPC. Based on the concept and with SACCI support, NAPC drafted a regulation for the technical requirements needed for anonymity and confidentiality of whistleblower reporting channels and submitted it to the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) for review and state registration. The draft law is currently with the VRU Committee on Preventing and Countering Corruption. The committee plans to submit the draft law to the VRU for review as soon as possible. The SACCI IT team also helped NAPC with developing the technical requirements for protecting the whistleblower channels.

• Code of conduct and conflicts of interest for the VRU. SACCI continued conferring with the chairwoman of the VRU Committee on Preventing and Countering Corruption throughout the reporting period. The committee chairwoman and SACCI agreed on a participatory approach for developing the code. Given the committee’s tight work schedule and other legislative priorities in the reporting period, the committee decided to tackle the issue after March 2020. The COVID-19 outbreak may further delay implementation of this task.

• National Anti-Corruption Strategy. SACCI contributed to drafting the National Anti- Corruption Strategy. In particular, SACCI drafted the following: (1) a section on monitoring the strategy’s implementation using an online portal with public access to information on measures, actors, and results; (2) an introductory section analyzing public polls, the implementation of the previous strategy, and Ukraine’s compliance with international guidelines on preventing and combating corruption; (3) a section on preventing corruption in the justice sector; and (4) a section on promoting zero tolerance to corruption among citizens, including youth. Also, SACCI proposed several amendments to the Law on Corruption Prevention to strengthen the procedure for developing and coordinating implementation of the Anti-Corruption Strategy.

ER 1.2: GOVERNMENT CAPACITY TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICIES, TOOLS, AND MECHANISMS STRENGTHENED

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 14

TASK 1.2.1. SUPPORT NAPC AS THE CORE CHAMPION INSTITUTION FOR CORRUPTION PREVENTION

During the reporting period, SACCI actively engaged with NAPC providing a wide range of assistance to improve the agency’s overall institutional capacity and enable the agency to carry out its key functions. SACCI provided support in the following areas.

Implement whistleblower legislation. SACCI helped NAPC draft the concept for establishing channels for whistleblower reporting and legislation for developing a unified portal for whistleblower reporting. In addition, SACCI is reviewing new regulations developed by the agency on registration, verification, and processing of whistleblower reports to align the processes with the recent legislative changes’ requirements. When the concept and the legislation for the unified portal are in place, SACCI will proceed with activities to support NAPC with implementation.

Support the asset declaration system reform. Asset declaration was one of the most key and urgent tasks for NAPC due to the April 1 declaration submission deadline. In mid-March, however, the deadline was extended to June 1, 2020, which eased the intensity of the work. SACCI worked collaboratively with EUACI to support NAPC with updating guidance for asset declarations and the electronic form for submitting declarations according to the requirements set by the Law on Corruption Prevention. SACCI also engaged in a series of discussions around applicability to 2019 declarations of the new requirements and further amendments to the legislation (Law № 524-ІХ) enacted on March 19, 2020.

SACCI supported NAPC’s efforts to ensure that more than 1 million declarants across the country are fully informed about new requirements for filing declarations. SACCI, with its partner TIU, helped NAPC organize the “Declare 2020” campaign (see more details under Objective 2) and create a web page with instructions and explanations for declarants.3

In addition, SACCI helped NAPC provide offline training on e-declaring for central executive authorities, as well as for officials of the Office of the , the VRU, and the High Anti-Corruption Court. SACCI experts also assisted NAPC with launching the NAPC hotline to answer questions from declarants.

Finally, SACCI contributed to discussions with NAPC and EUACI on further improvement of the e- declaration system to enable the launch of electronic verification required by June 1, 2020.

Strengthen NAPC capacity to oversee AUs. SACCI assisted NAPC with drafting regulations for establishing and operating AUs within governmental agencies, local self-government institutions, and state-owned enterprises (SOEs), including the process for the dismissal of AU heads, number of AU personnel, and other provisions. The regulations have been submitted to the MOJ for review and registration. In addition, SACCI provides input and advice to NAPC on the concept for an educational and communications portal for AUs. SACCI IT experts provided technical consultations to NAPC on possibilities of using the current SCMU portal for building a portal for AUs. SACCI has also facilitated an internal channel for GOU ministerial, municipal, and SOE AU communications by means of a Viber chat.

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 15

The AU chat group includes AU heads and AU personnel (150 participants) from all over Ukraine, who discuss the most pressing and difficult issues of application and interpretation of anti-corruption legislation as well as best practices under COVID-19-related restrictions.

Other institutional capacity assistance included drafting the procedure for conducting compliance inspections by NAPC. SACCI also initiated support to NAPC with building its case management system, modeled after the NABU system. In coordination with the EUACI project, SACCI’s IT team analyzed software currently available at NAPC and will assist NAPC with building the system.

Support NAPC oversight of corruption risk assessment and institutional anti-corruption programs. This activity is planned for the next quarter.

Institutional capacity, IT solutions, and rapid response. During the reporting period, SACCI and EUACI cosponsored an NAPC retreat focused on developing the overarching NAPC strategy. The strategy was later discussed at the donor meeting held at NAPC headquarters. At the meeting, the agency head and top managers presented key priorities and discussed prospective donor-coordinated support. The meeting helped clarify NAPC priorities and program SACCI and other key donors’ assistance accordingly.

SACCI helped NAPC organize the structure of the Department on Preventing and Detecting Corruption, one of the largest agency divisions, with 55 staff members. In addition, SACCI, together with EUACI, reviewed and made recommendations for the overall NAPC organizational structure and provided technical advice on the NAPC performance indicators drafted by the CMU. SACCI also supported NAPC with launching its Public Oversight Council (for more details see Task 2.2.1) and with establishing its Education (Open) Office to educate and engage citizens to reduce citizen tolerance of corruption.

In addition, NAPC initiated an assessment of the agency’s overall IT capacity to better understand the agency’s status, needs, and ability to introduce and manage multiple current and future IT systems. Finally, SACCI serves on the steering committee for the development of the political party financing register led by NAPC and IFES. SACCI contributed to the development of technical requirements for procuring the register development services and will oversee system design.

TASK 1.2.2. SUPPORT TO OTHER CHAMPION INSTITUTIONS IN IMPLEMENTING CORRUPTION PREVENTION MEASURES WITHIN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS

In the reporting period, the political changes at both the central and regional administrative levels significantly restricted SACCI`s assistance to its champion institutions. On the municipal level, SACCI finalized development of its assistance plans to municipalities based on the IIFA assessments and proceeded with the implementation.

National Level

Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine

Replacement of the majority of the CMU members twice in the last six months, changes within the SCMU, and elimination of the SCMU’s role in recruiting and dismissing the AUs in governmental agencies led SACCI to reassess its assistance to the SCMU. Moreover, SCMU assumed responsibility for

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 16

registering international technical assistance (ITA), previously carried out by the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade, and Agriculture. During the reporting period, USAID discussed with SACCI and SCMU the possibility of SACCI assisting the SCMU with streamlining the ITA registration process and enhancing the ITA portal.

Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine

Changes in the MIU at the management and AU level diminished collaboration. Nevertheless, SACCI mostly completed the package of assistance stipulated in its action plan and will transfer deliverables to the MIU in the next quarter.

Throughout the reporting period, SACCI continued to consult with the MIU on e-services in the maritime sector. SACCI and the MIU agreed that in the next quarter, the MIU will share a scope of work for the IT solutions needed for the MIU`s maritime project. SACCI, in partnership with the USAID TAPAS project, will review it and discuss possible assistance.

Ministry of Health of Ukraine

March saw two new ministers of health appointed in quick succession, both of whom immediately had to tackle the COVID-19 crisis in Ukraine. At the end of March, the deputy minister responsible for the digital transformation in the ministry and in the health sector, including the e-health system, resigned. In addition, the ministry’s AU staff resigned in January/February. Given the significant personnel changes in the ministry and the immediate priority of managing the COVID-19 pandemic efforts in the country, SACCI, in close coordination with USAID, will reassess its cooperation with the MOH.

Subnational Level

Sumy Oblast State Administration

SACCI completed assistance to the SOSA in accordance with the plan agreed to by SACCI and the SOSA administration. Changes in the SOSA leadership—an acting head from July 2019 to March 2020 and a new head since March 13, 2020—led SACCI to pause its cooperation with the administration. SACCI will reassess future assistance to SOSA depending on the new leadership’s priorities and demonstrated political will to address corruption.

Municipalities

Based on IIFA results, SACCI developed assistance plans for its champion municipalities (the cities of Mukacheve, Khmelnytskiy, Pervomaiskyi, and Pokrov) and shared the plans with the municipalities. As of March, the champion municipalities were reviewing and approving the plans. Once the plans are approved, SACCI will provide full-scale assistance in the specified areas, including establishing and building capacity of AUs to implement their functions; improving (or developing) codes of ethics for local council deputies, executive committees, and communal enterprises; implementing training programs; and implementing transparency and citizen engagement mechanisms. In the meantime, SACCI assisted Pokrov and Pervomaiskyi municipalities with drafting eight internal regulations, of which one has been adopted and the rest are under review by the municipality’s leadership. In addition, SACCI’s grantee

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 17

Eidos supported Pokrov and Pervomaiskyi with drafting legislation on access to public information, processing of citizens' complaints, and citizen engagement in decision making by local governments.

In addition, SACCI conducted an assessment of the Khmelnytskyi city council’s IT capacity in response to the municipality’s plan to prevent corruption and increase transparency in city land management by developing a geoinformation portal. The IT assessment demonstrated that the city council needs IT technical consulting in designing the city land map/cadaster, analyzing relevant regulations, and training city council IT staff on maintaining the map/cadaster. SACCI will help the municipality implement the system upon USAID approval.

TASK 1.2.3. PROMOTE AND INSTITUTIONALIZE ANTI-CORRUPTION TRAINING OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS

SACCI is delivering on its commitment to implement the successfully piloted anti-corruption e-training and certification course for civil servants and public officials on a consistent basis. SACCI supports the NACS in collaboration with NAPC on further development and implementation of the training. The Ukrainian School of Governance (UShU) will deliver the online course as part of required training for civil servants, which will ensure that civil servant training under restrictive quarantine measures of the COVID-19 pandemic can continue. The NACS plans to publicize the institutionalized version of the course starting April 21, 2020.

TASK 1.2.4. SUPPORT FOR THE MINISTRY FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

In the reporting period, SACCI closely cooperated with the MDT on the ministry`s mandates related to developing the e-health system and implementing the e-sick leave project. SACCI provided technical expertise in response to requests for consulting within the framework of interagency cooperation between the MDT, MOH, National Health Service of Ukraine, and e-Health SOE. The consultations concerned building a medical records register and its interaction with corresponding registers at the Ministry of Social Policy; developing the e-health system modules necessary for financing the launch of the second wave of the medical reform beginning April 1, 2020; finalizing the e-health system with necessary documentation; building a cybersecurity system; transferring system modules to their respective governmental agencies; assessing the e-health system; and providing recommendations on the development of regulations for the system’s functioning and use. Furthermore, the ministry confirmed the urgent need to reevaluate further development of the e-health system and recognized donors` leading role in funding the system’s development. For the e-sick leave project, as a result of technical consultations with SACCI’s IT experts, the ministry remained supportive of the idea of digitizing the issuance of sick leaves and will revisit this idea with SACCI in the coming months.

SACCI assisted the MDT with promoting bylaws aimed at strengthening the ministry’s influence on the overall digitalization process in the country. Specifically, in March 2020, CMU adopted Resolution #194, which officially introduced the position of chief digital transformation officer, who will be responsible for implementing digital solutions at the governmental agencies. According to the MDT, such institutionalization of digitalization reform increases the MDT`s political impact on the process of e- health system development.

Moreover, through consultations, SACCI helped the MDT build a solid understanding of policies on cybersecurity, protecting critical infrastructure, and certifying large-scale IT systems. In addition, SACCI continued support to promoting the MDT’s “Diia” initiative (see Task 2.1.2). Finally, the MDT submitted

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 18

to SACCI a formal letter listing several activities it planned to implement in response to COVID-19. Upon discussion with USAID, SACCI identified several activities for potential support by the project next quarter.

TASK 1.2.5. RAPID RESPONSE ASSISTANCE

SACCI continued providing ad hoc support to USAID and the GOU upon request. During the reporting period, in response to an NACS request, SACCI provided two analysts to conduct integrity checks as part of the hiring process of top-ranking managers for state institutions. Embedded at the NACS, the analysts will perform their duties until the end of April 2020. At the request of the Kyiv Oblast State Administration (OSA), SACCI conducted a training for 144 Kyiv OSA public officials on e-declarations and whistleblower protection. SACCI continued providing USAID with information on the roles and functions of various GOU institutions, including the National Agency of Ukraine for Accreditation and the Ukrmetrteststandart SOE.

OBJECTIVE 2: PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR AND ENGAGEMENT IN ANTI-CORRUPTION EFFORTS INCREASED

ER 2.1: GOVERNMENT OUTREACH ON ANTI-CORRUPTION REFORMS AND SUCCESSES IMPROVED

TASK 2.1.1. BOOST COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES OF THE NATIONAL AGENCY FOR PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION

During the reporting period, SACCI implemented the following communication capacity-building and support activities: • Conduct NAPC reputation and public image analysis: SACCI conducted an analysis of NAPC’s “public image” throughout 2019. This analysis was presented to the institution’s new leadership with recommendations on how to restore public trust. • Review NAPC communications strategy and action plan: SACCI internal and external communications experts participated in the presentation of and provided extensive commentary and suggestions for improving the NAPC communications strategy developed by EUACI subcontractor PBN. Finalization of the strategy will extend into Quarter 3. • Train NAPC leadership in communication: During Quarter 2, SACCI, with its subcontractor International Media Solutions, conducted a social media training for NAPC leadership and developed several supporting products, including social media guidance for staff, a presentation for department heads on discussing social media with their subordinates, and a crisis communications decision-making procedure guide. • Support NAPC with a series of communications and awareness-raising special projects: o Declare 2020: SACCI is supporting NAPC with its annual declarations campaign from February to June 2020. In cooperation with TIU, SACCI developed branding for the campaign and launched the deklaruy.org.ua web page, which provides practical and user- friendly guidance on the legal requirements for e-declarations. SACCI also assisted NAPC with setting up a hotline and an updated chatbot (available on Facebook Messenger and Telegram) for declarants to receive immediate help. Furthermore, SACCI is providing SMM support to the campaign, regularly creating and broadcasting

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 19

useful content. Finally, with SACCI support, from February to March, NACP trained 1,919 public officials on e-declarations. o Whistleblower campaign: SACCI started preparations for the development of a whistleblower communications campaign. The team monitored the media’s reporting on whistleblower protection to inform the development of a communications campaign for NAPC. Also, SACCI conducted research to identify the most feasible creative ideas and strategic messages to fuel the whistleblower communications campaign. The team envisioned that the campaign would enter the production stage in April 2020. However, the activities have been postponed due to COVID-19-related restrictions. • Support NAPC with rebuilding their communications department capacity. o Provide transitional support to the NAPC communications unit (coordination capacity) until it is reestablished and operational: SACCI developed the statement of work and conducted an extensive search and selection process for a senior communications coordinator. However, it was decided that the selected candidate will be embedded with the IFES project instead, as the candidate already had a contract with them. o Provide crisis communications surge support: A consultant employed by SACCI is working with NAPC as a senior crisis communications advisor, providing expertise in crucial circumstances. An international expert provided by SACCI’s small business partner International Media Solutions also developed a crisis communications decision- making procedure guide. o Expand the current social media support contract to include targeted NAPC social media representation: In this quarter, SACCI’s social media support to NAPC consisted of the Declare 2020 campaign, described above.

TASK 2.1.2. SUPPORT COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES OF THE MINISTRY OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

SACCI continued supporting the MDT’s anti-corruption communications through its expert embedded with the team of the MDT minister/deputy prime minister. This expert helps integrate messages of integrity, transparency, and accountability into the public materials produced by the ministry.

SACCI also continued supporting the MDT in promoting e-services and the “Diia” portal to the public and to service users specifically. Through Ukrainian communications subcontractor Fedoriv Com, SACCI supported production of a video broadly marketing the “Diia” portal as a “human-centered, transparent, and accountable” resource. Fedoriv Com also collected feedback from private sector users of the “Diia” portal and the “Diia” app for smartphones. It used the collected information to develop a communications strategy to promote e-services for private entrepreneurs.

TASK 2.1.3. BOOST LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES

SACCI’s partner UCMC developed individually tailored communications activities (events and products) to respond to the regions’ varying communications needs. In Mukacheve, UCMC organized a discussion about achievements and challenges in the work of the administrative service center. UCMC later developed a mini-brochure to convey this information. In Pervomaiskyi, UCMC designed infographics to help explain ongoing school reorganization.

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 20

ER 2.2: ENGAGEMENT OF CITIZENS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION INCREASED

TASK 2.2.1. INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIZENS TO ENGAGE WITH NAPC

SACCI supported NAPC in establishing its Open Office and developing a capable and robust POC. • NAPC Public Oversight Council: SACCI supported NAPC with preparations for launching its POC with a significantly expanded mandate. SACCI experts helped NAPC design a road map for the POC launch and provided necessary technical consultations on electing POC members through internet voting. SACCI experts helped NAPC draft changes to CMU Provision #952, facilitating prevention of fake voting and simplifying council processes. SACCI also analyzed available approaches to internet voting and shared its findings with NAPC.

• NAPC Open Office: SACCI supported NAPC in launching the NAPC Education Office (an analog of the NABU Open Office). The Education Office has three main tasks: (1) conducting awareness-raising activities to establish zero tolerance of corruption among citizens and youth; (2) supporting NAPC’s municipal council and cooperating with CSOs; and (3) educating public officials and other target groups on corruption prevention, integrity, transparency, and more. The Education Office (officially the Department of Awareness-Raising and Education Programs) was formally launched in the middle of March 2020. SACCI developed the package of legal documents and prepared the concept for the Education Office and a work plan for the rest of the calendar year.

TASK 2.2.2. INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIZENS TO ENGAGE WITH LOCAL CHAMPIONS

SACCI supported several initiatives on the local level enabling citizens to engage in anti-corruption, transparency, and accountability initiatives: • Combating corruption in road construction and repair: Maintaining its earlier SACCI- funded course, NGO Construction Sector Transparency Initiative (CoST) submitted to SACCI a grant application designed to further increase transparency and accountability in the road construction sector at regional and municipal levels. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the grant award was put on hold.

• Support municipal government to enable citizens to participate in local governance. SACCI partner grantee Eidos worked on developing a manual on setting up POCs at the municipal level. In preparing the manual, Eidos conducted extensive consultations with public council members in SACCI`s champion cities. Eidos is expected to finalize the manual by the end of the next reporting period and will distribute it among SACCI’s champion municipalities and other interested municipal POCs.

TASK 2.2.3. MOBILIZE CSOS TO ENGAGE IN SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY

a. Promote CSO engagement through a small grants program. SACCI continued using its annual program statement as a mechanism to support CSO engagement in anti-corruption activities. In the reporting period, SACCI received 11 applications and chose 4 for further development. CSOs from four partner cities have applied (Drohobych, Khmelnytskyi, Pokrov, and Sumy). Throughout Quarter 2, SACCI has been working closely with potential grantees that had submitted ideas to the pipeline and expects several of these to take shape early in the next

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 21

quarter. At the end of the reporting period, the potential grantees were still working on their draft concept papers and budgets.

b. Support and guide local CSOs through regional coordinators. In Quarter 2, SACCI’s regional coordinators in each champion city analyzed their communities’ youth policies and practices by reviewing local regulations and interviewing stakeholders on local youth policy and prepared reports and recommendations for SACCI and local authorities. Using the assessment findings, SACCI developed a tailored approach to disseminate SACCI anti-corruption instruments and engage citizens. The regional coordinators also organized events in their cities for youth and local CSOs focused on youth and anti-corruption initiatives. In March, the Drohobych regional coordinator facilitated the "Bribe is a Bittersweet Word" forum for 13 participants in the Drohobych Youth Space to discuss corruption in health care institutions. In Mukacheve, the regional coordinator helped UCMC organize a discussion of the particularities of the work of the Administrative Service Center. In Sumy, the reginal coordinator participated in the event “Sumy Networking: Monitoring and Control” and presented on the municipal budgetary process. The regional coordinator informed about 20 participants on budgetary funds, the reason it is necessary to monitor expenditures, current monitoring tools, and the situation with the public budget in Sumy and the region. In addition, regional coordinators in each champion city helped 12 local initiative youth groups prepare their applications for the Idea Boot Camp and spread information about the events on social media.

c. Transfer Anti-Corruption School. To sustain the Anti-Corruption School, SACCI worked on developing a manual for organizing and conducting the school. SACCI will offer the manual to NAPC as part of the Open Office initiative and extend assistance in organizing and attending the school. As the NAPC Education Office’s top priority is education for public officials, the Anti- Corruption School may be rescheduled for spring 2021.

OBJECTIVE 3: PUBLIC TOLERANCE OF CORRUPT PRACTICES REDUCED

Tasks under Objective 3 aim to increase the public’s understanding of corruption and young people’s rejection of corrupt acts.

ER 3.1: PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF CORRUPTION AND ITS COSTS INCREASED

TASK 3.1.1. IMPLEMENT ANTI-CORRUPTION AWARENESS, EDUCATIONAL, AND ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS a. Campaign on transparency of funds in education. SACCI partner grantee TIU commenced activities for building parents’ awareness of school budgeting and legitimacy of contributions solicited from parents. As part of the activity, TIU designed a dedicated online portal with information about monitoring of school financing, cooperation with school administration on budgeting issues, and explanations of charitable contributions. TIU discussed the portal with MESU and both parties agreed to place this information on the “New Ukrainian School” online portal, which is used by

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 22

MESU for official communication about school reform. However, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, further activities were put on hold until the situation stabilizes.

b. Educating citizens about use of public funds. SACCI involved several grantees in engaging citizens in monitoring public funds, including the following: i. The Anti-Corruption Action Center (AnTAC) designed a “Taxpayer Movement” communications campaign aimed at encouraging citizens of champion cities to learn about taxes, public expenditures, and opportunities for citizen participation in grassroots monitoring. AnTAC developed communications products and a dedicated website and expanded activities to SACCI champion cities. Due to COVID-19-related restrictions, further activities were put on hold until the situation stabilizes.

ii. TIU is developing a methodology for assessing the capacity and independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption institutions using the National Integrity System (NIS) methodology developed and implemented by Transparency International as part of their overall approach to corruption prevention. As all agencies of the anti-corruption infrastructure became fully operational, this component aimed to create a methodological instrument for evaluation of their performance, whether they accomplish the tasks assigned to them by the law, and what obstacles they face in their operations.

iii. NGO White Collar Hundred (WCH) continued implementing a project aimed at empowering civic activists and journalists to monitor declarations and lifestyles of public officials. WCH drafted a manual and a YouTube video course (4 out of 12 lessons) on how to use the upgraded declarations.com.ua web platform to investigate assets declarations by public officials. WCH also completed development of 22 regional landing pages for regional activists and launched the English-language version of the platform, which allows journalists and activists from around the world (English version gets 33,000 views per month with 29,000 as unique users) to analyze asset declarations. Furthermore, WCH processed a large amount of data for conversion into the followthemoney database to facilitate quick and efficient exchange of data in the framework of the agreement signed with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) for enabling easily accessible knowledge sharing in the international community. In addition, WCH assisted NAPC with improving, protecting, and expanding capacity of the NAPC`s asset declarations system. WCH synchronized its web platform data with NAPC`s declarations register, enabling the addition of 24,000 scanned pre-electronic declarations that were not included in NAPC`s official register. The technical upgrade also included improvement of the risk analysis system by creating eight red flags for corruption-related features in officials` declarations. NAPC readily integrated two of the red flags—on correction forms and on conflicts of interest in judicial decision making—into its asset declaration register. As a result, NAPC managed to identify 40 conflict of interest–related violations and 22,700 correction forms submitted by officials for the last two years.

TASK 3.1.2. ENGAGE MEDIA TO REPORT ON CORRUPTION AND ENGAGE CITIZENS IN ANTI- CORRUPTION

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 23

a. Build journalists’ capacity. SACCI’s partner grantee UCMC continued to promote a “Constructive Journalism” approach and employed it during regional events. UCMC organized issue-driven and evidence-based dialogues on the Administration Services Center in Mukacheve. and all the particularities of its work. Broadcasting the discussion on social media provided full coverage of the process and helped increase the level of transparency of the city’s decision- making process. This event was highlighted on the Constructive Journalism Facebook page, where UCMC collects examples of responsible, explanatory reporting to aid journalists in their professional development. Also, UCMC and CoST are preparing training materials for one national and two regional educational events. The project envisages the development of trainings for journalists and CSO representatives on the coverage of road construction, maintenance, and repair in Ukraine; materials for journalists to use in their work; and trainings for road repair experts (communication with journalists). Finally, UCMC started a new update of the media monitoring study “Blind Zones of Corruption” to track tendencies in media attention, coverage, and understanding of corruption and anti-corruption efforts.

b. Continue the educational program for anti-corruption journalism. UCMC and the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) are planning to conduct an educational program for anti- corruption journalism in the spring semester. In Quarter 2, SACCI supported UCMC in developing the agenda, content, and mentor lineup for the program, which was set to start in March 2020. Due to COVID-19-related restrictions, the program has been postponed until fall 2020.

c. Facilitate networking and positive knowledge sharing. In Quarter 2, UCMC continued managing its Constructive Journalism Facebook page. The Constructive Journalism/Ukraine Reforms Communications Taskforce Facebook page posts provide regular updates on public events targeted at local and national journalists and local communities. The page also informs citizens of key outtakes from relevant events and shares sectoral infographics. The page is followed by more than 4,000 people and unites several USAID-funded projects under the umbrella of the Constructive Journalism brand.

ER 3.2: YOUTH INCREASINGLY REJECT CORRUPTION AS A SOCIAL NORM

TASK 3.2.1. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT NAPC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

During the reporting period, SACCI initiated support to NAPC by helping develop NAPC’s first internship program. The program’s long-term goal is to recruit promising young professionals into NAPC’s ranks. SACCI also facilitated coordination between NAPC and the Ministry of Youth and Sport as part of this year’s iteration of the Statebuilder program.

TASK 3.2.2. ENGAGE YOUTH IN ANTI-CORRUPTION ACTIVITIES

a. Launch anti-corruption master’s program. SACCI provided financial and technical assistance to ACREC to establish a master’s degree in anti-corruption studies at NaUKMA. The program’s objective is to create a pool of highly qualified professionals to work in the many newly established anti-corruption institutions. During the reporting period, ACREC developed and launched four courses: “Social Inequality and Corruption,” “Anti-Corruption Risks,” “Anti- Corruption Compliance,” and “Anti-Corruption Expertise.” Starting March 3, 2020, due to the

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 24

COVID-19 quarantine, the course lectures were converted to webinar format. ACREC also began preparing for the fall 2020 semester by launching open calls for lecturers for an anticipated six more courses and developing the new courses' syllabi, study materials, and home assignments. In late January, five months since the first class of students was admitted, ACREC gathered experts and practitioners for a two-day regional conference on the program’s successes and challenges and how the program can serve as a model for the region. ACREC leveraged resources from the Open Society Foundation, which will sponsor the center as a regional hub for anti-corruption research. It will also enable collaboration with other countries, including Armenia, Moldova, and Serbia, that are planning to develop their own anti-corruption master’s programs.

b. Anti-corruption education and engagement in school. SACCI grantee EdCamp Ukraine developed the “Web of Corruption Schemes” anti-corruption quest, adapted for implementation in various logistical and educational conditions to support ethical behavior among students. Also, EdCamp compiled an anti-corruption teacher’s guide containing seven lesson maps, plans, and annexes, as well as a student workbook. EdCamp engaged teachers in trainings on anti-corruption tools through mini-EdCamps. In the reporting period, mini- EdCamps in Drohobych, Novohrad-Volynskyi, Sievierodonetsk, and Trudoliub brought together educators representing local hromadas and other regions of Ukraine. They conducted a special session about anti-corruption instruments in education and pedagogy of partnership integrity practices. Moreover, EdCamp Ukraine commenced Pedagogics of Partnership, a new pilot project in six schools around Ukraine. Due to COVID-19-related restrictions, EdCamp is considering postponing planned offline events to fall 2020. However, EdCamp, with support from the United Nations Population Fund, will hold an Anti-Crisis National Online EdCamp on April 13–17, 2020. With 5,000 participants already registered, the conference will feature transparency and accountability in education. SACCI-supported teacher ambassadors will present anti-corruption tools and share their findings during one of the webinars.

c. Expand partnership with FLEX alumni. In Quarter 1, SACCI engaged with Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX) regional coordinators offering trainings on youth and civil society engagement. SACCI intended to conduct a two-day training in Kharkiv, Kyiv, , and Odesa and engage the most active FLEX alumni in a project management training with a follow-up assignment of conducting regional events in the FLEX localities. However, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the activity’s implementation will shift by a few months.

d. Support innovative ideas that target youth. As part of SACCI and ULA cooperation, SACCI conducted a focus group with ULA students to evaluate the new anti-corruption quest created by EdCamp. The students assessed how user friendly the quest is for teachers and whether it is interesting for youth. After the COVID-19 outbreak, SACCI boosted its online presence for dialoguing with youth on anti-corruption and integrity issues. Specifically, SACCI transferred its anti-corruption quiz into an online format by asking Facebook followers to answer in the comments. On its Telegram channel, SACCI started a competition encouraging youth to analyze real-life situations through an anti-corruption prism and share their vision of the solutions. Every week, SACCI will conduct

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 25

a raffle among the correct responders with prizes that are useful in the quarantine period (for example, subscriptions to online courses, e-newspapers). SACCI is also raising awareness about the government institutions (in Ukraine and internationally) that directly or indirectly fight corruption; in Telegram, SACCI has a format where followers guess the logo of an organization and then receive information on how it contributes to anti-corruption. SACCI regional coordinators conducted youth assessments in six champion cities. The assessments showed that in smaller cities, such as Pokrov and Pervomaiskyi, there are no youth CSOs strong enough to apply for SACCI’s small grants program. Therefore, the regional coordinators will serve as the focal points for these two cities in engaging youth and closely cooperating with youth and educational departments. In the other four champion cities, regional coordinators worked with youth to help them formulate project ideas and apply for grants. In addition, regional coordinators in each champion city assisted 12 local initiative youth groups to prepare project ideas to apply to the Idea Boot Camp, planned for October 8–11, 2020.

PROGRESS AGAINST TARGETS

SACCI’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) plan has 21 indicators. SACCI reports annually on each indicator.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING, EVALUATION, AND LEARNING

SACCI’s MEL plan has 21 indicators, including three standard foreign assistance (F) indicators. The indicator data come from five streams: (1) project records, (2) a SACCI-sponsored public opinion poll, (3) a civic engagement survey by USAID/ENGAGE, (4) records from grantees, and (5) contextual data collected from global surveys. Progress made on all indicators will be added to SACCI’s annual report. Additionally, the project uses an internal tracking tool to monitor all progress. The tool shows every indicator’s status and explains how SACCI contributes to the expected results.

In Quarter 2, NAPC requested that SACCI provide advice and review the survey instruments for its nationwide survey of households, experts, and private sector representatives on their perception of and experience with corruption. The survey is funded by EUACI for NAPC, and the results are expected in the next quarter.

SACCI continued monitoring developments in the country and the regions using various approaches and channels. This includes monitoring media reporting, public opinion polls, analytical publications, and social media. SACCI analyzes information regularly to inform its programming course and approach.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

No activities during this reporting period fall outside the approved Request for Categorical Exclusion (RCE): DCN: 2014-UKR-010.

PROGRESS ON LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

USAID/Ukraine – Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program | Quarterly Progress Report 26

In the reporting period, SACCI cooperated most intensively with the EUACI on supporting the NAPC relaunch. The project continued working closely with the USAID ENGAGE program on the “Taxpayer Movement” campaign, as well as co-development of the PEA update. Strong partnerships were built with the IFES and TAPAS projects as well.

PROGRESS ON LINKS TO HOST GOVERNMENT

SACCI coordinates closely with the GOU. In the reporting period, SACCI supported the NAPC relaunch process. SACCI provided input or review of key legislation (implementation of the e- declaration campaign changes and whistleblower protection mechanisms) and assisted in drafting several NAPC regulations on e-declaration processing and verification, AUs, and whistleblower reporting. Additionally, SACCI supported NAPC with communications activities and activities on improving citizen and youth involvement in preventing corruption. SACCI also expanded its support to a newly established MDT and continued supporting other national- and local-level governments in their efforts to reduce corruption.

LESSONS LEARNED

• This quarter once more underscored that Ukrainian politics can pivot unexpectedly and that international technical assistance will always work in an uncertain environment. Therefore, flexibility and responsiveness are key to ensuring that the development agenda has an effective impact in Ukraine. • Recent changes in the government may lead international donors to reconsider support to particular institutions as political will for preventing corruption is invariably tied to an organization’s leadership. • Furthermore, and especially in the coming year, international donors must properly coordinate and improve information and resource sharing. This is crucial to focusing consolidated assistance in the anti-corruption sphere, which, for the foreseeable future, will be concentrated predominantly at NAPC. • The COVID-19 outbreak will highlight corruption in health care, procurement, customs, antitrust, and law enforcement activities. It is important to gather and analyze data on corruption schemes to identify risks that were not obvious or were hidden and to account for them when developing the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and analyzing anti-corruption programs’ effectiveness at governmental agencies and SOEs. • During the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to providing support for the immediate need to protect people against exposure and treat those infected, it is critical for international donors to support the GOU in sustaining a functioning government and economy and in ensuring law and order. The consequences of the restrictive measures can be just as severe as those of the virus itself.

PROGRESS ON INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT

SACCI reached out to key stakeholders for preliminary discussions on the use of digitalization tools to reduce corruption risks relevant to internally displaced persons (IDPs). These solutions will be

implemented through SACCI’s small grants mechanism. Negotiations with IDP-oriented CSOs are in progress.

ADMINISTRATION ACTIVITIES

CONSTRAINTS AND CRITICAL ISSUES

The key critical issue during the reporting period was the opportunity created by the GOU’s revitalization of NAPC. This has allowed SACCI to return to the project’s original goals. Consequently, SACCI engaged with its contracting officer’s representative to reprioritize key aspects of its AWP toward work with NAPC both at the national and regional level. However, the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the project’s implementation; many activities were converted to online formats, some activities were postponed until the end of the quarantine, and an insignificant share of activities were canceled. SACCI also conceived new activities in response to the challenges presented by the COVID- 19 crisis.

PERSONNEL

Two essential SACCI personnel left the project, one of whom was designated as key personnel under the contract: the deputy chief of party (key personnel) and the Objective 3 team lead. SACCI initiated a selection process for each but was forced to suspend hiring due to the COVID-19 crisis. Meanwhile, the responsibilities of the deputy chief of party and Objective 3 team lead are distributed among the current SACCI team members.

CONTRACT, AWARD, OR COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS

No key contract modifications beyond regular incremental funding occurred during the reporting period.

COORDINATION AND PARTNERSHIPS

During the reporting period, SACCI cooperated most intensively with the EUACI in support of the newly elected and appointed NAPC leadership on NAPC reform. The project has also worked closely with the USAID ENGAGE program on a Taxpayer Movement campaign, as well as development of the PEA. Strong partnerships were sustained with the Strengthening Academic Integrity in Ukraine Project (SAIUP) and America House, in commemoration of International Anti-Corruption Day and promotion of integrity among university students. SACCI cooperated with IFES on supporting NAPC in development of an online system for political party financing reporting and with the USAID TAPAS project on implementing a small-scale project for MIU MARAD.
