The 2014 Euromaidan revolution shook up Ukraine in an unprecedented way. The fall of the Yanukovich regime heightened the demand from citizens to eradicate decades of entrenched corruption that has long disabled good governance and stunted development in the country. Since the transition, civil society organizations have been pushing for electoral reform and changes in the country’s anti-corruption legislation. To support these efforts, Sunlight provided technical assistance and conducted capacity building activities to help civil society organizations in Ukraine maximize their impact and better integrate technology into their organizational strategy.
