Cooperation with Civil Society

The CEELI Institute works closely with civil society watchdogs and investigative journalists, whose work is effective in uncovering and making public corruption and other wrongdoing to advocate for reform.

As such, we have long worked with partners across Central and Eastern Europe and beyond on monitoring fraud and corruption in large-scale public procurements–such as in healthcare in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.

Finally, as part of our work on Ukraine, the Institute has partnered with local organizations to support government efforts to combat it. Since 2014, we have built professional trust and close working relationships with several Ukrainian civil society organizations on protecting the integrity of anti-corruption agencies and the judiciary, and developing investigative capacities.
