The article is devoted to the analysis of the effectiveness of anti-corruption strategies in the
Ukrainian public sector and the determination of ways of their further improvement. The main problems
that hinder the successful fight against corruption in the state structures of Ukraine are investigated, and
the existing strategies and their results are analysed. Based on the collected information, specific
recommendations are offered to improve the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures in the public
sector.
One of the main factors complicating the fight against corruption in Ukraine is the insufficient
effectiveness of the legal system, the weakness of law enforcement agencies, and the lack of a clear political
will to carry out reforms. Insufficient coordination between various authorities and insufficient control
over their activities is often observed, which makes it difficult to detect and punish corruption offences.
In the context of anti-corruption strategies in Ukraine, several legislative acts were adopted and
specialized agencies, such as the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption
Prosecutor’s Office, were established. However, some of these measures have not produced the expected
results due to insufficient financial support, political pressure or ineffective management.
To further improve anti-corruption strategies, it is important to pay attention to several aspects.
First, it is necessary to ensure greater transparency and openness in the activities of state bodies, in
particular, by implementing a system of electronic document circulation and public reporting. Secondly,
it is important to strengthen the mechanisms of control over the activities of public officials and ensure
their independence from political influence. Thirdly, it is necessary to reform the judicial system to ensure
objective examination of corruption cases and imposition of appropriate punishments.
