State evaluation
Public evaluation
The preventive anti-corruption body (NAPC) has recently been "re-launched". In particular, its organizational structure and management changed. This allowed for a sufficient level of independence of the body. At the same time, the biggest problems are staff shortages and attempts to put pressure on the body by the authorities.
The transparency of the NACP and the control over its activities can also be assessed positively. Information on the activities of the body is open to the public and always remains relevant, and the public can ensure a sufficient level of control over the activities of the NACP. However, some information is unreasonably closed and internal control mechanisms are not effective enough.

The selection of the head of the NACP was carried out transparently and publicly. The competition was not accompanied by corruption or political scandals. The winner was selected based on objective criteria.
The selection of the NACP employees through competition is carried out at a high level. Civil society involvement in competition commissions ensures a sufficient level of control over their conduct.
The “Re-launched” body demonstrates much more independence than the previous body. There seems no room for partiality and politicization of the “re-launched” NACP.
Control over the activities of the NACP is carried out at the appropriate level. The Public Council at the NACP effectively performs the function of civil society control.
The financial support of the NACP is sufficient for the exercise of its powers. Salaries of NACP employees are at a high level.
The NACP operates transparently and openly. The reports of the NACP and its official website contain comprehensive information on its activities. The information is constantly updated.
The former NACP leadership was dismissed in a manner not provided by law and in violation of the guarantees of their independence. There were attempts to narrow acting guarantees for the NACP’s independence by making amendments to the law.
To finance large projects (such as registries) there is a need to attract donor support.
There is a shortage of staff in the NACP, there is an urgent need to establish territorial offices of the body.
The appointment of the NACP employees by transfer from other bodies allows bypassing the competitive selection procedure, which does not provide sufficient control over the integrity of candidates. Competitive selection does not require testing of candidates’ general abilities as an obligatory requirement.
There were attempts to interfere in the independence of the NACP. The most serious threat to the body is posed by the Parliament and the courts. The decision of Constitutional Court No. 13/2020, dated 27 October 2020, significantly affected the efficiency and independence of the NACP.
The NACP is reluctant to publish drafts of its acts for public discussion before their approval. Certain acting acts of the body are not accessible.
The NACP internal control unit does not demonstrate proper efficiency. Its powers go beyond the law, and the organizational structure is not capable.
