EU Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI)

What EU Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) does

EUACI is a donor-funded international development programme, not a commercial entity. Established in 2017 and headquartered in Kyiv, it is jointly financed by the European Union and the Government of Denmark and implemented by Denmark's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its mandate is to reduce corruption in Ukraine at both national and local levels by strengthening anti-corruption institutions, enhancing transparency in post-war reconstruction, supporting municipalities (the seven Integrity Cities: Chernivtsi, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Nikopol, Poltava, Sheptytsky, and Mariupol), and empowering civil society and investigative media. With around 25 staff and Phase III running from January 2024 to August 2027, EUACI operates across four intervention areas and reaches beneficiaries through direct institutional engagement and competitive tenders for expert consultants and service providers.

Its core "products" are institutional capacity-building services and a small set of digital transparency tools rather than commercial software. The technical stack centres on a Power BI-based interactive monitoring dashboard developed for the Ministry of Education and Science, used to track school cafeteria modernisation projects (financing, procurement, construction stages) in real time, with a planned child-friendly educational version. Additional digital assets include the E-Reception (Е-Приймальня) electronic citizen-services platform deployed in Integrity Cities, and analytical support built on documented project review. EUACI also funds IT infrastructure buildouts for SAPO (server virtualisation, Fortinet cybersecurity, Active Directory/Exchange/PKI, Cisco UCM), workstations for NABU and the High Anti-Corruption Court, and training programmes on data analysis, public communications, and (for the Defence Procurement Agency) integrated risk management aligned with NATO and EU standards.

The revenue model is grant funding, not commercial sales. Primary financing flows from the EU and Denmark under Phase III (Jan 2024–Aug 2027), supplemented by the EUR 37 million EU4Reconstruction Team Europe Initiative (EU, Denmark, Germany, France, Lithuania) — Stream 2 of which Denmark and Lithuania/CPVA implement. In 2026 the UK and Germany joined as additional funders. EUACI procures its own consultants and IT suppliers via open tenders published on its website. There is no pricing model or commercial product; quantifiable outcomes include UAH 362.9 million in public-fund savings (2024–2026) enabling 39 additional school canteen projects, and approximately 15 trainings per month averaging 20 participants each.

Core offering

EUACI is a donor-funded anti-corruption programme that strengthens Ukrainian anti-corruption institutions, municipalities, civil society, and investigative media through institutional capacity building, IT infrastructure provisioning, specialised training, and digital transparency tools. It supports national bodies (NABU, SAPO, HACC, NAZK), reconstruction governance (SARDI, Ministry of Education), and a network of Integrity Cities with services such as project documentation analysis, e-reception platforms, monitoring dashboards, and methodology development aligned with EU and NATO standards.

Product overview

EUACI is an anti-corruption program, not a product company. It does not offer a unified software product but rather supports and funds various transparency tools, digital platforms, and monitoring systems for partner Ukrainian institutions. The main technology products include: (1) an Interactive Monitoring Dashboard (Power BI-based) for tracking school canteen modernization projects, (2) an E-Reception Hall platform for municipal digital services, and (3) a children's version of the monitoring dashboard for educational purposes. EUACI also supports IT infrastructure development for anti-corruption institutions including workstations, servers, cybersecurity solutions, and enterprise IT services for SAPO, NABU, HACC, and other agencies.
