DAI is seeking highly qualified candidates to occupy the STTA position of Communications Specialist for the Task Force UA position to work on the recently awarded Promoting Integrity in the Public Sector Activity (Pro-Integrity), a $90 million, multiyear contract funded by USAID.
Project Background
The purpose of the Promoting Integrity in the Public Sector Activity (Pro-Integrity) is to reduce corruption incidence and risks to build back a better Ukraine. The Pro-Integrity Activity (also referred heretofore as the Activity) will work to achieve this purpose by addressing three independent objectives:
- Strengthen national-level anti-corruption institutional capacity to advance corruption prevention, detection, and deterrence;
- Strengthen anti-corruption compliance and control in local governance;
- Advance transparency and accountability in resilience, recovery, and reconstruction efforts.
The Pro-Integrity Activity will pursue a problem-driven approach addressing the root causes through targeted objectives aligned with mission and U.S. government strategy.
Position Description
Task Force UA has been established by state bodies in Ukraine to ensure justice including in the format of seizure of assets of perpetrators. The Task Force comprises the Prosecutor General’s Office, various law enforcement agencies, the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, State Financial Monitoring, and ARMA.
Task Force UA collaborates with law enforcement, intelligence, sanctions, and other competent authorities in the USA, EU countries, and Europol to exchange data on assets of individuals involved in war crimes and implement sanctions and countermeasures against those violating sanctions.
