Our values
Our values are independence from any political or other influences, zero tolerance for corruption, and results.
Transparency
We are open about everything — from our actions to our reports.
Influence
Our work is bringing results and changing the system.
Justice
We are working to ensure that the law applies equally to everyone.
Integrity
We do not compromise on ethical
issues.
What do we do?
We investigate and expose abuses in the areas of defense procurement, post-war reconstruction, political influence, and non-transparent personnel decisions.
We exert pressure by promoting public campaigns, mobilizing communities, and putting pressure on parliament, the government, and the president.
We communicate — we work with the media, social networks, and regional opinion leaders. People trust us because we are independent of politicians and business groups.
Key areas of work
Analytics
We analyze Ukraine’s recovery process, compliance with EU accession requirements, and the effective use of public funds. Our reports are tools for implementing change, submitted to government agencies, international partners, and local communities.
Reform advocacy
We foster institutional changes that make the state more transparent and accountable. In particular, we have achieved the inclusion of open competitions for the National Police in the list of EU recommendations.
investigation and monitoring
We expose abuses in procurement, the lifestyle of officials, and violations in declarations. Our videos and publications become the basis for criminal cases.
anti-corruption school
We created school as a space for learning, support, and unity for independent journalists, activists, analysts, and anyone who is not willing to accept injustice.
Our results
5.5 million hryvnias saved
We monitored the allocation of over UAH 64 million for reconstruction, identified and stopped the financing of dubious projects worth UAH 5.5 million.
700+ verified officials
We did an integrity check on hundreds of officials. In 67 cases, we found corruption risks — from false declarations to questionable assets.
50 members of the Anti-corruption school community
Anticorruption School — training and community for regional anticorruption journalists. Our trainers are leading Ukrainian investigators and anticorruption activists.
