Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for Rebuilding and Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development, Oleksandr Kubrakov, and the head of the European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI), Allan Pag Kristensen, signed a memorandum of understanding between the ministry and EUACI in Kyiv on 16 March.

Cooperation between EUACI and the Ministry will include support for the development of a national geographic information system, monitoring of regional development and reconstruction, and the establishment of an Integrity Support Unit within the Ministry to provide high-level expertise and advice.
