Complicated and confusing systems providing construction permits, delivery of municipal services, and access to land are sources of significant corruption.

The US Government through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) made one of its largest Threshold Program investments in Ukraine through USAID|TIBA. The investment is designed to help improve Ukraine's performance on the MCC's corruption indicator, and improve the lives of citizens in the process. TIBA works to reduce opportunities for corruption by helping make processes more efficient, simple, and transparent; improving the permit system law and related statutes, streamlining procedures for construction permits and access to utilities, and improving the law on inspections.
