Institute of Legislative Ideas

What Institute of Legislative Ideas does

The Institute of Legislative Ideas (Інститут законодавчих ідей, IZI) is an independent non-profit analytical center (public organization under Ukrainian law) founded on November 15, 2017, headquartered at Esplanadna Street 20 in Kyiv's Pecherskyi District. It employs approximately 12 staff organized around expert legal analysts, project managers, financial management, and an SMM function. The organization specializes in anti-corruption legislative analysis, sanctions policy, reparations mechanisms for damages caused by Russia's war against Ukraine, and monitoring of Ukraine's commitments under UNCAC and related international frameworks. Core activities include producing policy briefs, shadow reports on state institutions such as ARMA (the Asset Recovery and Management Agency), advocacy campaigns, and convening conferences with government bodies and professional associations.

Its primary deliverables are research-based rather than software-based: the Confiscation Tracker (an interactive online platform monitoring global confiscation of Russian assets), a practical guide for citizens filing claims with the Register of Damage for Ukraine (RD4U), recurring policy briefs, and dedicated research projects including 'Efficient Reparations Now,' 'Improving Sanctions Policy,' 'Minimizing Corruption Risks in Public Policy,' and 'Purging Russian Influence from Ukraine's Economy.' Distribution occurs through the organization's website, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Beacons.ai), an email newsletter, and appearances by leadership on Ukrainian television and radio outlets (1+1, Suspilne, Pershyi, Ukrainske Radio, Radio Svoboda).

The business model is project-based grant funding from international foundations and foreign-government donors, including the International Renaissance Foundation, the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative, the Swedish Embassy in Ukraine, and the Open Society Initiative for Europe. The Institute operates as a non-commercial entity; all analytical materials, policy briefs, and guidance documents are provided free of charge to Ukrainian government institutions, civil society organizations, and international partners. No pricing model, subscription, or commercial product revenue is disclosed, and there is no indication of venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment ownership.
