The purpose of the study is to analyse the relationship between the implementation of the reform of decentralisation of public power in the field of social sector management and anti-corruption policy in Ukraine, and the development of scientifically based recommendations for improving legislation on the prevention of corruption in local self-government bodies. In the process of scientific research, a complex of philosophical and ideological, general scientific, and special scientific methods was used. The axiological approach is used to clarify the role and importance of proper legislative regulation of certain public relations that arise when making power decisions at the municipal level. The method of analysis and synthesis contributed to the analysis of the concept, features, object, parties, and conditions of decentralisation. From special scientific methods, the study applies systemic and structural-functional, comparative-legal. It is emphasised that the reform on the decentralisation of public power initiated the creation of united territorial communities capable of independently providing high-quality public services, organisational and legal guarantees to the population for the implementation of their constitutional right to social protection by residents. It is stated that many of the positive transformations that are being conducted in the state are being offset primarily at the local level due to the large-scale spread of corruption manifestations. Due to the lack of a special strategic document of anti-corruption orientation, the work of the Parliament on resolving the issue of the anti-corruption strategy was analysed, in particular, the Draft Law “On the principles of state anti-corruption policy for 2020-2024”. It is proved that corruption negatively affects the image of the state in the international community, hinders the attraction of foreign investment, and poses a threat to social and economic security. Due to the fact that fraud with budget funds causes substantial damage to the social functions of the state, corruption at the municipal level is often the most harmful, because it affects the most vulnerable segments of the population. It is determined that the legislative framework has been updated at the state level, concepts and programmes for preventing corruption have been adopted, and its own anti-corruption institutional model for organising public administration has been formed. It is stated that corruption continues to play a negative role in public administration, and the means and methods aimed at preventing it remain insufficiently effective. Ways to increase the level of anti corruption policy in the field of public management of the social sector in the context of decentralisation are proposed. The conclusion is formulated on improving the current anti-corruption legislation by adding local self-government bodies to the list of entities that approve anti-corruption programmes
