CIVIL SOCIETY ADVOCACY AGAINST CORRUPTION: BEST PRACTICES HANDBOOK is the cooperative result of many civil society organizations (CSOs) who demonstrated their desire to change lives in their communities, towns, regions and the country in general. Looking back at 2006 when the project began, the project implementers can proclaim with pleasure that the past years were not lived in vain.
Having worked together with our partners and grant beneficiaries, we came to a better understanding of what corruption was and how it could appear, the short- and long-term repercussions of corruption, how to counteract corruption, and how to influence those who had become a part of it. At the same time, we realize that we are at the very beginning of a long journey. In order to walk it, one needs to have relevant skills. This publication, which is a summary of the experiences gained by the CSOs in Ukraine, will be instrumental to anyone who is already combating corruption or determined to become engaged in similar advocacy activities.
