Digitalisation for Growth, Integrity and Transparency

The Digitalisation for Growth, Integrity and Transparency Project (UK DIGIT) is a £4.6 million anti-corruption and good governance project funded by UK International Development (UK Dev). UK DIGIT leverages Ukraine’s digital transformation to combat corruption, promote sustainable economic growth, ensure transparency in reconstruction and recovery, and advance good governance during and beyond the war.  

In the past eleven years, Ukraine has made significant progress in improving governance through far-reaching digital reforms. Many of these GovTech innovations were introduced to increase transparency and efficiency and combat corruption, but they also bolstered Ukraine’s resilience in response to the Russian full-scale invasion. Ukraine’s digital transformation will play a crucial role in wartime and in the post-war recovery period as the country seeks to rebuild a more resilient economy, ensure transparency in reconstruction, and continue to advance good governance reforms. By enhancing digital infrastructure and institutional capacity, UK DIGIT will support Ukraine’s transition toward a more open, efficient, and corruption-resistant government.   

UK DIGIT builds on several key anti-corruption projects that were earlier implemented by Eurasia Foundation-led consortiums: Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services (TAPAS) and the Digital Transformation Activity (DTA), both financed by USAID and UK Dev. These projects facilitated economic growth, enhanced transparency, and streamlined public service delivery in Ukraine. UK DIGIT will continue to simplify the interaction between citizens, businesses and the state while minimizing corruption risks and advancing accountability. 

UK DIGIT works with Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation, and several other recipients from the government sector.  

Eurasia Foundation leads UK DIGIT’s experienced implementing consortium of the Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO), East Europe Foundation (EEF), Open Contracting Partnership (OCP), and Transparency International Ukraine (TI-U). EF and its partners bring extensive expertise in digital transformation, deregulation, public procurement integrity, and anti-corruption policy development. Together, these organizations will work to develop and implement long-term sustainable digital governance strategies that align with Ukraine’s European integration and modernization agenda.
