Senior Anticorruption Communications Expert (STTA) Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program in Ukraine.

Project Summary:

The Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Project in Ukraine is a five-year USAID initiative with the objective to assist Ukraine to reduce corruption and increase the accountability and transparency of governance. The program seeks to empower key government institutions to fight corruption, build public support for and engagement in anticorruption effort, and reduce citizen tolerance to corruption.
