Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of the implementation of E-Governance and E-Democracy tools in the field of preventing political corruption in public authorities. The effective practice of Finland in using and implementing e-democracy tools is considered, as evidenced by the «Corruption Perceptions Index» rating, which is concluded annually by the international organization Transparency International on the basis of a survey of experts and business conducted by a number of international organizations. The results describe the level of e-government development in Scandinavia, and outline the prospects for developing and implementing their experience for Ukraine. The author analyzes the importance of maximum openness and accountability in the activities of public authorities and their officials, transparency and clarity of procedures for the development and adoption of administrative decisions; obligatory training of public servants for E-GOV tools was determined for the successful implementation of anti-corruption measures provided by legislation and government documents and ensuring public relations. An important aspect is the need for continuous improvement of the current legal and regulatory framework in the field of anti-corruption policy and its adaptation to the dynamic development of information and communication technologies. This approach encourages the introduction and use of new technological tools aimed at preventing corruption and political corruption in public authorities at all levels of public administration. The reform of public procurement, the introduction of the ProZorro procurement system, the automation of public services in the centers for the provision of administrative services (CPAS), electronic declarations and the receipt of services in electronic form has become an important step in the path of changes in the field of e-democracy that took place in Ukraine after the Revolution of Dignity.
