As part of the course “EU Anti-Corruption and Shadow Economy Counteraction Policy”, a webinar entitled “EU Monitoring Tools for Assessing the Effectiveness of National Policies on Combating Corruption and Countering the Shadow Economy” was held.
The event was organised within the framework of the Jean Monnet Module “Anti-corruption and countering shadow economy: step by step to common Europe.”
The speaker was Serhii Mynenko, PhD in Economics, Lecturer at the Department of Economic Cybernetics, Sumy State University.
The participants discussed the key approaches used by the European Union to assess the effectiveness of national anti-corruption strategies, as well as the instruments applied to monitor their implementation. Particular attention was paid to the importance of independent monitoring mechanisms, including the role of civil society organisations, international organisations, and specialised EU bodies.
Practical examples demonstrated how a systematic approach to policy effectiveness assessment helps identify weaknesses, enhance transparency in public administration, and strengthen public trust in reforms.
The event was held with the support of the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Modules programme.
