We believed that, based on our five years of experience in implementing this reform and well-conducted public consultations, the Cabinet of Ministers would Ье аЬІе to write and approve а more detailed and specific d ocument. Unfortunately, these hopes were not fulfilled. The new version of the Strategy, аpproved Ьу the Government in July 2021, was tradition ally oriented not at ensuring the reform implementation, but at the most convenient reporting on it, regardless of the level of its implementation» lhor Koliushko Governance 30 «The year of 2021 turned out to Ье quite successful in terms of legisla tive drafting activities: laws on ad ministrative procedure were adopted (although the final adoption was in February 2022), as well as the law on delegation of basic powers of the >RCSA, and а draft law on public consultations was adopted in the 1st reading. During next year, it is im portant to make efforts towards the final adoption of the draft law on public consultations, the implemen tation of the Law on Administrative Procedure, as well as the adoption of the Law on Administrative Fees» Victor Tymoshchuk

- 26. Preventing corruption 49 Mykola Khavroniuk area lead Our goal Visible reduction in the level of corruption in Ukraine and removal of oligarchs from the position of і nfl uence over state роІісу Summary of the year 1 The first half of the year was influenced Ьу Decision No. 13-р/2020, adopted Ьу the ConstitutionalCourt оп OctoЬer 27, 2020 Under which the National Agency for Preventing Corruption (NAPC) lost а major portion of its authority; at the same time, Criminal Code Article 366-1 «Declaring !=alse lnformation» was foundunconstitutional. Whereas the NAPC's authority was re stored relatively quickly, an acceptable version of the law to penalize lying in declarations was not adopteduntilJune 29, 2021. These events had an obvious negative impact on the top government authorities' political will to combat corruption. No assurances to international partners about steady course can mask the absence of such will. 2 Proclamations regarding intent to reform the justice sector in line with best international practices, to select the new Specialized Anticorruption Prosecutor in line with best international practices, and to ensure transparent and reliable procedure for selecting the new Director of the National Anticorruption Bureau of Ukraine, which were made in the Joint Statement concerning strategic partnership between Ukraine and the US signed Ьу the President of Ukraine V. ZelenskY and the US PresidentJ. Biden on September 1, 2021 in Washington, remained mere words on paper. 50

- 28. Preventing corruption 53 8 The Government's priority actions plan for 2021 in the anticorruption area reflects only some of the current activities of two anticorruption infrastructure bodies (NAPC and ARMA). Speaking more generally, the Government's activity was in no way memorable, except perhaps а completely unfounded hyper-ambitious goal for Ukraine to receive the score of at least 60 points under the Corruption Perceptions lndex. 9 As further testament to the worsening state of affairs in this area, the 2021 Corruption Perceptions lndex ranked Ukraine as 122nd, with only 32 points (which is а reversal to the 2018 indicator). The African country of Eswatini (former Swaziland) received the same score, while Algeria, Egypt, Zambia, and Nepal received one point more. Preventing corruption 54 1Q Among positive developments ofthe year was the adoption ofseverallaws and some outcomes ofthe NAPC work Thus, the laws adopted in 2021 created а legal foundation for operations the Economic Security Bureau,an electronіс criminal case system (e-Case), state protection and material reward guarantees for whistleblowers,as well as bringing the NABU's status in line with the Constitution's requirements. The NAPC prosecuted in court 98 cases based on whistleblower reports and won 32 of them; carried out systemic anticorruption expert evaluations and identified corruption risks in 100 draft laws and Government resolutions; launched an Anticorruption Portal - а digital platform for the work of authorized officials in the area of preventing and detecting corruption; updated the Unified State Registry of Persons who committed corruption or corruption-related of fenses (at present, the Registry includes 1,403 entries about persons brought to criminal responsibility and 5,609 entries about those brought to administrative responsibility); and is preparing to launch the Unified Portal of Whistleblower Reports.
