The International anti-corruption hackathon winner is a team from Ukraine.
The finals of the international anti-corruption hackathon “Integrity Hackathon” took place in Vilnius. The team from Ukraine with its innovative idea for anti-corruption public awareness training won the competition. The team’s project uses a specially designed augmented reality program allowing everyone to see how the phenomenon of corruption changes our environment and takes a look at impressive “before and after” images, thus helping viewers to understand the damage caused by corruption in our daily life.
After intensive competition between teams and long discussions among the panel’s members, the team NABU, representing the National Anti-Corruption Bureau in Ukraine, was announced to be the winner of the hackathon. The team from Kaunas “Faircheck” came second, and the third place went to the team of the “Vilniaus vystymo kompanija”.

Challenges
The EU has already adopted several sanctions packages since Russia started the war in Ukraine. More sanctions are added regularly. Individual civil servants of the Russian Federation and their relatives, Russian oligarchs, companies and various trade operations are targeted. Frozen assets of oligarchs in foreign countries include businesses, luxury real estate, yachts, airplanes and works of art. Are there any legal possibilities to confiscate this property and thus compensate for the damage caused by Russian aggression? Would this be an effective deterrent to other potential aggressors in future. For the EU countries, the frozen assets that belong to Russian owners cause more and more problems as time goes by, as decisions are yet to be made on how to further administer these assets.
→ Challenge is to find a transparent and open way to administer frozen assets of Russian oligarchs and avoid possible legal traps which may lead to paying retribution on lost property. How to solve the accounting issues of frozen assets? How to monitor, identify and systematize data on the evasion of EU sanctions?
21st century open data, which is considered a transparency standard, can be used to link one’s assets declared in official asset declarations and corporate financial reports with the lifestyle displayed on social networks. The availability of open data can encourage the society itself to engage in more anti-corruption activities, if the luxurious life seen on social networks is in no way compatible with the declaration of rather modest personal assets in state systems. However, we have not yet used the possibilities provided by open data to create an anti-corruption state environment.
→ What kind of tools and information systems would allow linking data in different categories? What kind of possibilities open up to the society, the state and NGOs that would be helpful in identifying illegally acquired assets, possible corruption risks and contribute to the elimination of potential threats?
Innovation, technology, digitization: these concepts are mentioned every day in the European Commission corridors and in the last decade there has been significant investment in this area. The aim is to help the EU community navigate the paths of digitization and innovation, but due to the lack of competent experts in the fields of IT, artificial intelligence, and robotics, a haphazard and unclear evaluation process and hard-to-measure practical benefits, various challenges keep coming up creating conditions for unreasonable proposals and waste of funds.
→ How to control and make effective support for the field of digitization and innovation, when abstract things such as artificial intelligence are developed? How to solve practical problems when there is a lack of highly competent persons? To solve this challenge, digitization tools or methods are needed: matrices that create a more transparent and clearer investment absorption mechanism.
Public awareness is an extremely important element in the fight against corruption as it affects the decision of every citizen to contribute to the creation of an corruption-resistant environment, based on trust and honesty, decisively intolerant to the abuse of entrusted power for personal gain. Equally important is the cooperation and consistent communication of the public and private sectors and society. Only by acting together, in a synergistic way, will we promote resistance to corruption.
→ What means of public education could be used to help develop society’s anti-corruption awareness and promote involvement and a more active communication about the benefits of transparency? How to strengthen society’s resistance to corruption and create a clear, simple and trust-inspiring system of message channels?
We’ve been hearing from the media about the material or financial support to Ukraine or assistance to its people in various forms since the beginning of the war, however, there has always been the shadow of abuse looming in the horizon. Charitable organizations, private and legal persons organizing support concerts and events, and others seeking to provide assistance to those who need it most, are always faced with the challenges of accounting, administration and reporting the means of support to the public and patrons. It is important to provide detailed information regarding what was purchased with the collected funds and how and where the support was distributed. Various surprisingly innovative initiatives inspire and encourage people to look for solutions on how to engage the public even more in fundraising campaigns, decide who to allocate the collected funds to, and how to distribute the support.
→ The support transparency challenge is to create a tool, process or a mechanism that would help not only to monitor the use of collected funds, but also bring more transparency and publicity, as well as facilitate reporting processes for organizations. It is also important to take into account the question of how to engage the public in the search for solutions regarding fair collection and distribution of aid.
During a job interview, the candidate’s competencies, language skills, personal qualities, logical reasoning and other capabilities are tested, but little attention is paid to verifying one’s transparency. Modern technologies and huge amounts of data managed by every organization could provide an opportunity to assess an employee or a potential candidate based on their behavior, speech and actions in the public space, in terms of whether they could be prone to corruption, law violation, dishonesty or unethical behavior. The received and processed information would help to select the most suitable candidates, especially for those positions where the highest transparency criteria apply.
→ How to encourage organizations and companies to check the candidate’s transparency during their personnel selection and pay more attention to such personal traits as transparency and resistance to corruption? We seek solutions that would help to efficiently, yet legally, collect and systematize information about candidates from their data shared in the public space and to identify potential risks due to their actions or behavior in advance. An employee that lacks moral values costs the company 10 times more than 1 effective employee – help find him.
A challenge suggested by you that would contribute to a more transparent tomorrow.
