On November 6, 2025, Global Government Technology Centre in Kyiv (GGTC Kyiv)  and Vox Ukraine presented the findings of their joint report “Reform Radar: Tracking Ukraine’s Digital Transformation”, which analyzed over 100 legal and regulatory acts adopted from 2019 to 2024 and their impact on Ukraine’s digital public ecosystem.

The event also marked the launch of the GovTech Reform Index — a new analytical tool for quarterly monitoring of Ukraine’s digital reforms. The Index evaluates new digital policies and regulatory initiatives based on innovation, feasibility, and expected impact.

The evaluation process is led by an independent Expert  Board that includes representatives from, business, civil society, and international organizations. From the GovTech Alliance of Ukraine (GTA UA), the following leaders are on the Board:

• Kateryna Stavniichuk, CEO of GTA UA
• Roman Lansky, Co-founder and CEO of Strimco
• Vasyl Zadvornyy, CEO of MK-Consulting

Speaking on behalf of the Expert Board, Kateryna Stavniichuk noted:

“Digitalization has become the foundation of modern public governance. The ‘digital dimension’ must become part of quality policy-making — each new policy or regulation should also be assessed in terms of its impact on digital transformation.”

She added that the GovTech Reform Index is a logical continuation of Ukraine’s digital policy introduced in 2019, which included official digital impact assessments of draft laws and regulations. Now, the GovTech Reform Index extends this approach through independent expert evaluation.

“The goal of the GovTech Reform Index is not just to assess compliance but to identify which reforms have lasting value — and which challenges still need to be addressed. It complements government efforts and enables smarter planning through evidence-based insights.”

The event also featured a panel discussion “Start – Stop – Continue: Lessons from Digital Transformation”, moderated by Oleksandr Strelnykov, Editor-in-Chief of AIN.UA. Speakers included representatives from the Ministry of Justice, the DREAM Project office, Strimco, and UNDP Ukraine.

GTA UA fully supports strategic initiatives like the GovTech Reform Index, which enhance Ukraine’s digital governance capacity through data, transparency, and expert collaboration — essential pillars of sustainable digital development.

The analytical study and the event were conducted with the support of Switzerland within EGAP Program, which is carried out by East Europe Foundation (EEF).
