The Agency for Legislative Initiatives (ALI) continues to consistently deepen its expert and analytical work within the ‘Law and Order’ area. We are expanding our activities towards comprehensive analysis and coverage of European integration reforms under Chapter 24 of the European Union acquis, which is one of the key chapters in Ukraine’s EU accession process. We are already doing so — in particular, through the first comprehensive review of Ukraine’s implementation of obligations under this chapter in the 2025 Shadow Report.
From 2026, the Agency will also focus on analysing and addressing challenges that arise in the process of reforming law enforcement bodies. This includes issues of internal control and accountability, compliance with professional ethics, ensuring gender equality, as well as the introduction of modern strategic planning. Olha Piskunova will strengthen our team’s work in this area. She brings substantial experience in public service, as well as academic, analytical and expert activity.
Noteworthy, the ALI strengthened its expertise in prosecution and law enforcement issues in early May 2025. The programme was headed by Yevhen Krapyvin, a lawyer and researcher with more than ten years of professional experience. The ‘Law and Order’ area focuses on the development of the prosecution service in line with EU standards, reform of law enforcement bodies, the formation of an effective and balanced criminal policy, improvement of criminal procedure, as well as strengthening wartime and military justice, taking into account the conditions of the full-scale war and post-war recovery.
The Agency for Legislative Initiatives continues to work on building effective democratic institutions, specifically in the areas of justice and law enforcement as an integral component of Ukraine’s path towards the EU. All findings and research outputs will continue to be shared through the Agency’s platforms.
