Transparent rules instead of corruption risks: Ukraine joined the Anti-Corruption Memorandum

Humanitarian demining is a strategic investment in Ukraine's economic future. It is not just about clearing fields, but about launching an entire market that requires international trust and transparent financing.

Ukrainian Demining Agency (UAD) LLC signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Joint Actions on Anti-Corruption, becoming a new participant in the UN Global Compact initiative in Ukraine . The document was signed on behalf of the Agency by Yuriy Kalatur, Director for Economic Affairs.

This is not a symbolic gesture, but a fundamental commitment that defines the rules by which the humanitarian demining sector operates:

zero tolerance for corruption in financial and management processes;

implementation of international standards of transparency and corporate governance;

Systematic formation of a culture of integrity throughout the sector.

The UAR works at the intersection of the state, operators, and international donors. At this point of interaction, anti-corruption becomes a key tool of trust - one that allows for the transformation of disparate initiatives into a sustainable and scalable mechanism for recovery.

Comment from the Director for Economic Affairs of the Ukrainian Autonomous Republic:

"The humanitarian demining sector is a system that either operates according to transparent rules and is able to attract significant resources for restoration, or it does not work at all. For us, anti-corruption is not a separate direction, but a prerequisite for security and the basis of trust of investors and partners, without which reconstruction is impossible."

We don't just build rules - we build the trust that drives the recovery economy.
