Editor's Notes
In the course of 2013 in the realm of transparency and corruption prevention two important background factors are worthwhile mentioning.
Firstly, May 2013 saw adoption of an anticorruption law package that envisages toughening sanctions against corruption offence perpetrators, introduction of liability for legal entities, introduced additional protections to whistleblowers and – importantly – widened the scope of corruption prevention opportunities by tasking the relevant Parliamentary Committee with conducting assessment of corruption risks in draft laws.
Secondly, Ukraine at this point of time is preparing for its third cycle of OECD reporting on the Istanbul Anticorruption Action Plan (previous reporting was done back in 2010 under a completely different legal framework). With the experts of OECD coming for a review mission after 20 December, expectations are that by March 2014 the OECD experts will deliver a summary report – ideally with extensive account of shadow-report information supplied by the civil society.
Within the area of Anticorruption Expert Assessment, UNDP supported the Expert CSO Council under the Parliamentary Committee in incorporating a comprehensive anticorruption assessment methodology, testing it, applying it to practice on 80 draft laws (out of them 25 proved to have corruption risks) and designing a way forwards in terms of designing mechanisms for further institutionalization of the methodology and its means of application.
In the case of OECD monitoring, the local chapter of Transparency International has taken on a leading role in compiling a multi-expert civic expert view on the situation with Ukraine’s anticorruption framework. This week should see compilation of the very first draft of core findings of the experts and these should be discussed with relevant stakeholders. Until 20th December the reviewed versions of first civic expert findings should be polished and then presented to the OECD mission to Ukraine for first reactions and in order to start dialogue. The work on finalization of the shadow report is to last until March 2014 when the session for discussion of Ukraine’s progress is to be held.
Innovative approaches to the themes of governance and human rights are not a new topic for UNDP Ukraine, which started its first interventions in electronic governance in 2005 and took up the advanced themes of collaborative design and citizen participation in decision-making in 2012.
Collaborative design means involvement of citizens, authorities, sectorial experts into joint design of administrative services, products or policies, usually (but not necessarily) with the use of IT tools (internet applications, smartphone applications, etc.)
In the course of the last 6 months UNDP
led to victory one of the digital projects in the area of access to information (participatory planning of municipal development) at a regional context for social innovation.
It organized for the first time in Ukraine a three-day innovation laboratory that brought together 7 municipality teams, consisting of municipal officials, IT developers and civil society representatives. The winning three projects stimulate popular citizen votes for the best CSO projects to be supported by the municipality, stimulate improved communication between various stakeholders in the municipal schools system and provide for platforms for discussion and action for improvement of housing and communal services though civic activism.
Has continued building a list of stakeholders to source inspiration from all over the world, including the experience of the Danish MindLab which is positioned as a cross-governmental innovation unit which involves citizens and businesses in creating new solutions for society, while also being a physical space (collaborative working location). Mind Lab is well recognized by the international innovation community as a true leader and unique alloy of government-supported initiative for redesigning public services and structures and of an engaging citizen-centered organization. Therefore, DHRP is determined to work on furthering the relations with MindLab and learning more about its approaches to human-centered innovation and design.
