ALI Embarks on a New Project to Digitalise Ukraine’s Judicial System and the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, Supported by Sweden

With the support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Agency for Legislative Initiatives is launching a project to digitalise Ukraine's judicial system.

The project will be implemented jointly with the following key judicial institutions: the Supreme Court, the High Council of Justice, the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine and the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. To this end, the project partners signed a Memorandum of Intent on 23 October 2025. On behalf of the Agency for Legislative Initiatives, the Memorandum was signed by Svitlana Matviienko, ALI’s Executive Director.

“The digitalisation of the judiciary and the Constitutional Court is not just about technology; it is primarily about ensuring access to justice, particularly in times of war. We aim to support Ukrainian courts in working more efficiently, openly, and promptly, as is expected by modern society and our European partners. This Memorandum is about shared responsibility and a shared belief in change.”

On behalf of the judiciary, the Memorandum was signed by Stanislav Kravchenko, President of the Supreme Court; Hryhorii Usyk, Chairman of the High Council of Justice; Andrii Pasichnyk, the Chairman of the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine; and, on behalf of and in accordance with the order of the Acting President of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, Judge Oleksandr Vodyannikov of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. 

“The national judicial system has demonstrated tremendous strength and resilience amid the war. This would not have been possible without modern technological solutions and digitalisation. In a state of martial law, we acknowledge that the judicial system must be open and transparent, complying with European standards — from the fair distribution of cases to transparent judicial proceedings and the automated recording of all stages of proceedings. This Memorandum symbolises our aspiration for Ukraine to become part of the wider European community, and the development of electronic justice systems is a crucial step in this process.”

The Memorandum was signed under the auspices and, in the personal presence of, Jakob Granit, Sida’s Director-General, the project donor. 

“We greatly value the Ukrainian judiciary's willingness to cooperate and embrace digitalisation and transparency. A key component of this reform is transposition into European Union legislation. We hope that signing this Memorandum will be an important step in supporting the judiciary, helping to make the justice system more transparent and aligned with EU standards.”

Sida's Director-General, the project donor

The project starts in October 2025 and is to last for 30 months. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of the judiciary and constitutional justice by digitalising internal processes in key institutions and designing new solutions for interacting with the public. The project’s achievements are expected to be scalable and extendable to other judicial institutions, particularly the higher, specialised, appellate, and first-instance courts. This approach will contribute to the comprehensive modernisation of the entire judicial system.

This project is an integral part of the tasks outlined in the Roadmap on the Rule of Law and the Ukraine Facility Plan 2024–2027, which are essential for Ukraine’s further path towards EU membership.
