The European Union funded Project ‘Support for Rule of Law Reforms in the Areas of Police, Public Prosecution and Good Governance’ (hereinafter – Project) has the overall objective of supporting the strengthening of the policing, prosecution and civilian governance in Ukraine and to align them with the best European and International practices. On substance matters, the project relies on the EU Advisory Mission (EUAM) to Ukraine.
The Project partners with a number of national institutions in Ukraine, including the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI). The SBI has the mandate to carry out independent investigation of crimes by civil service officials, judges, law enforcement officials, and those officials working in the special anti-corruption institutions of the Ukrainian Government. Since its set up in 2016 the SBI has made progress towards establishing itself as a functional law enforcement institution with the ability to carry out investigative operations. In order for the SBI to reach its potential there are certain key steps that must be achieved. There is a need for more clarity in the legal framework on governance; strategic planning capacity should be enhanced; recruitment and training of personnel needs significant activity and IT and communications capacities must be greatly developed.
Considering the above, the Project will deliver support interventions to enhance the capacity of the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) to operationalize its mandate in the start-up phase of its operations (2019). In particular, in 2019 the Project will focus on activities structured in three Result Areas: Result 1: Enhanced strategic planning and the SBI capacity to effectively carry out its investigative operations. Result 2: Enhanced capacity of the SBI staff to effectively undertake investigative operations, particularly those staff members without prior experience in law enforcement. Result 3: The SBI has established effective business processes for IT and communications necessary to carry out its investigative operations.
