Abstract

This paper is devoted to generalize the approach of analyzing state policies on the formation of anti-corruption reforms in local governance in the context of national development, especially in the context of decentralization, which requires the demonstration of new approaches to its solution. The study of mechanisms to manage sustainable local development is important for developing effective strategies to overcome the challenges of corruption. The basis for effective implementation of anti-corruption reforms in Ukraine is the sustainability of the legal framework for anti-corruption and the stability and consistency of the functioning of anti-corruption institutions. The importance of further implementation of anti-corruption reforms in Ukraine and preventing their suppression is emphasized. Overcoming corruption requires regulations, updating and amending legal acts, and the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures depends on public awareness. The author describes a number of laws regulating anti-corruption activities. It is emphasized that the anti-corruption reforms actively implemented in Ukraine have an impact on public administration, especially in such important areas as rural development management, food security, and local community management. The most obvious advantage of communities with anti-corruption infrastructures (control and prevention systems of corruption in local self-governing bodies) is the efficient use of their own resources and the ability to “save community funds”. Anti-corruption measures are offered to the heads of village, town, and city councils. Recommendations to combat corruption in public administration are proposed. This should be accomplished through the introduction of modern technology, openness and accessibility of administrative processes. One of the key elements of anti-corruption reform is to strengthen the responsibility of officials who violate the law and abuse their power. Anti-corruption reforms encourage the use of these tools to ensure oversight and transparency.
