The OECD gives strong praise to Ukraine’s achievements in anti-corruption policy.

A Ukrainian delegation, led by the deputy head of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), Yaroslav Lyubchenko, participated in the presentation of the Report from the OECD during the 5th Round of Monitoring Under the Istanbul Anti-Corruption Action Plan.

Ukraine received high marks from the OECD in five areas: anti-corruption policy, declaration of assets, independence of the judiciary, specialized anti-corruption institutions, and responsibility for corruption offenses. The report will be published and submitted to Ukraine for consideration of its recommendations.

“Building integrity and good governance is key to bringing Ukraine closer to OECD standards and our future membership in the organization. There is still a lot of work ahead, but the positive assessment of our report by OECD representatives is another step on this path,” Lyubchenko noted.

Last year, Ukraine applied to join the OECD, which unites 37 of the world’s most developed countries.
