Assessment of corruption risks in the construction, reconstruction and renovation of civilian infrastructure of Ukraine

The report analyses corruption risks in Ukraine's civil infrastructure restoration efforts. It highlights 10 key priority risks and suggests mitigation measures. The priority risks are:

  1. Absence of clear criteria and excessive discretion in the selection and prioritisation of projects
  2. Absence of a comprehensive legal framework for the recovery process in relation to experimental projects
  3. Weak oversight of project documentation quality
  4. Lack of a well-defined legal procedure for analysing construction material prices, combined with insufficient oversight by procuring entities
  5. Deficiencies in the organisation of supporting services during construction projects
  6. Legal uncertainty around requirements for justifying direct contracts
  7. Unjustified qualification criteria and barriers to accessing information
  8. Lack of effective controls over the procedure for changing substantial terms of subcontract agreements
  9. Absence of integrated electronic system for recording payments for completed construction works
  10. Lack of state architectural and construction supervision over the implementation of reconstruction projects

The report was jointly published by Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention and State Audit Service together with the Basel Institute on Governance, with support from Switzerland.

The Basel Institute took part in the launch event in Kyiv, which included Members of Parliament, representatives of the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine, the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine, the Antimonopoly Committee, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, as well as representatives of local self-government and the private sector.
