OECD presents results of Ukraine’s assessment in Anti-Corruption and Integrity Outlook

The OECD has presented the results of its assessment of Ukraine in its Anti-Corruption and Integrity Outlook 2026. The presentation took place on 23 June, during an event organised jointly with the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, attended by representatives of international organisations, the diplomatic corps, government agencies, civil society, the expert community, and the media.

The review covers data from 37 member countries and 25 partner countries. It is based on data collected as part of the OECD Public Integrity Indicators and provides an analysis of anti-corruption strategies, lobbying frameworks, conflicts of interest, political finance, and transparency of public information. The document also presents new assessments of integrity mechanisms in the judicial and disciplinary systems, and approaches to managing corruption risks in public procurement. 

“A little over a year ago, the OECD presented the Integrity Review for Ukraine for the first time,” said Janos Bertok, Deputy Director of the OECD Public Governance Directorate. “Today, analysing the results of the new report, we can see the significant progress Ukraine has made during this period. I thank everyone who made this progress possible, in particular, Ukrainian state institutions for their professionalism, dedication, and readiness to consistently advance reforms.” 

The EU Ambassador to Ukraine, Katarína Mathernová, said the results of the OECD evaluation confirmed the importance of a systemic approach to building integrity, especially in the context of Ukraine’s European integration.

“We are grateful to the OECD for reminding us that the international community often has a tendency to focus on punishment,” Katarína Mathernová said. “At the same time, the real work lies in building institutions, systems, and rules that are sustainable and predictable. Without this, it is impossible to gain the trust of citizens and investors. Ukraine is carrying out these deep institutional reforms in the conditions of a full-scale war, and this makes its achievements even more remarkable.”

Ukraine is one of the first non-OECD member states to join the Public Integrity Indicators initiative. In March 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine also officially submitted a request to the OECD to adhere to the OECD Council Recommendation on Public Integrity, which was initiated by the NACP.
