Starting from 2015 as Institute of Political Information project manager Oleksancdr took an active part in the all-Ukrainian NGOs coalition “Transparent Councils”, which was founded with the main objective of implementing anti-corruption practices and regulations at the local level. Significant results have been achieved in this area.
