Civic Anticorruption Expert Assessment Methodology: Short Guide
Publisher: UNDP
Volume: 49 pages, pdf
Description:
Legal regulation of social relations in Ukraine is somewhat chaotic and haphazard. This creates conditions for officials to “model” powers that are favourable for them or create opportunities for acting at their own discretion. Even if legal regulation seems proper at first sight, it often contains significant gaps allowing certain officials to abuse incomplete and ambiguous boundaries of their powers. Although the mechanism of anticorruption expert assessment of draft regulatory acts has been known in Ukraine for over 7 years, the government started taking real measures for its implementation just recently. In 2010, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine developed an anticorruption expert assessment methodology and endorsed it within a relevant decree.
