Спеціаліст/ка з моніторингу реалізації антикоріпційної політики / Specialist on Monitoring of Anti-Corruption Policy Implementation

DAI is seeking highly qualified candidates to occupy full-time Specialist on Monitoring of Anti-Corruption Policy Implementation 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 USAID Promoting Integrity in the Public Sector Activity (Pro-Integrity) will concentrate on addressing three narrow development challenges within its manageable interest and influence to overcome corruption risks at the national institutional level, local government level, and related to Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction. Specifically, these include:

• Anti-Corruption Institutional Challenges: Nascent anti-corruption institutions facing depleted human resources and budget austerity during wartime face challenges guaranteeing adequate corruption prevention, deterrence, and the inevitability of punishment for corruption offenses.
• Weak Anti-Corruption Controls in Local Government: Weak anti-corruption compliance and control measures in local communities, depleted human resources, and humanitarian emergencies during wartime challenge adequate corruption prevention, deterrence, and the inevitability of punishment for corruption offenses at the local level.
• Recovery and Reconstruction Corruption Risks: Unresolved corruption risks due to the lack of internal control, non-transparent procedure, and weak civil oversight over key reconstruction processes, including infrastructure restoration, asset management, environmental recovery, create risks for transparent and accountable reconstruction and recovery.

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

Pro-Integrity is working closely with the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Anti-Corruption Policy to support the implementation of its mandate.

The goal of this monitoring is to assess the effectiveness of these mechanisms, identify implementation gaps, and develop recommendations to address these gaps in the future.
