Project “Civic Support for the Implementation of the National Strategy for Promoting Civil Society Development for 2016–2020 at the Regional Level”
Project goal:
To unite the efforts of all stakeholders in the process of civic support for the implementation of the National Strategy by combining public monitoring with informational and methodological support for the fulfillment of the tasks outlined in the strategy. The aim is to create favorable conditions for the development of civil society in Ukraine, implement participatory democracy mechanisms, and establish effective cooperation between civil society, executive authorities, and local self-government bodies.

Coalition Tasks:
-
Conduct regular public monitoring of the implementation of the Presidential Decree of Ukraine dated February 26, 2016, No. 68/2016 and the tasks outlined in the National Strategy approved by this decree, particularly:
-
the establishment, composition quality, and effectiveness of the regional coordination councils for civil society development under the Regional State Administrations (RSAs);
-
adoption, implementation, and updating of regional programs to promote civil society development;
-
adoption and implementation of regional action plans for the implementation of the National Strategy at the regional level.
-
-
Provide regular updates to RSAs on the progress of the National Strategy’s implementation at the regional level, along with recommendations for improving this process.
-
Provide consultative and methodological support to public authorities and civil society organizations (CSOs) directly involved in the implementation of the National Strategy, particularly in:
-
establishing and organizing the work of regional coordination councils;
-
developing, implementing, and updating regional civil society development programs and action plans related to the National Strategy.
-
-
Cooperate with the national Coordination Council and CSOs responsible for implementing the National Strategy at the national, regional, and local levels.
-
Exchange experiences and disseminate best practices for implementing the National Strategy at the regional level through media, online resources, and communication events.
-
Facilitate training activities for public officials and civil society leaders on how to properly organize this work in the regions.
-
Regularly inform the public, authorities, and CSOs about the progress of the National Strategy’s implementation through the media, online platforms, and public events.
Key findings of the Regional Coalition’s work during the project:
-
The regional Coordination Council exists only nominally: it has met only three times, with the last meeting held in April 2017.
-
Very few stakeholders are aware of the National Strategy, Action Plans, or related documents.
-
The regional targeted program to support civil society development in 2017 was implemented by only 25%, and no funding was actually allocated for its execution.
-
Although the report on the implementation of the Action Plan is published on the RSA’s website, it is very difficult to match the reported activities with the actual strategic objectives.
-
Public participation in decision-making processes regarding the development and approval of socially important documents exists only on paper. In reality, most people are not even informed about public consultations or their outcomes.
Research findings indicate that although efforts to promote civil society development continue, most of the planned tasks are being implemented inadequately, which hampers the achievement of strategic goals.
It is hoped that the outcomes of the National Strategy for Promoting Civil Society Development for 2016–2020 will show improvement at the regional level in the future.
