PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION IS THE KEY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DEMOCRATIC STATE

Prevention of corruption is one of the key tasks of every democratic society. Manifestations of corruption are the cause of the regression of the public administration system and the economic decline of the country as a whole. Civil servants annually carry out professional development in order to improve their competences aimed at preventing corruption.

Employees of four institutions, in particular: the Zarichny District Court of Sumy, the Sumy District Territorial Center for Procurement and Social Support, the Office of the State Agency for Land Reclamation and Fisheries in Sumy Region, the Northern Interregional Head Office of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection in the State border held the training on the basis of the Sumy National University under the program “Prevention and Counteraction of Corruption Manifestations in State Authorities”.
