In June 2025, the Ukrainian Center for Independent Political Research (UCIPR) launched a new project "Better legislation for the registration and operation of civil society organizations".
The goal of the project is to help improve the legal environment for civil society organizations by simplifying the procedures for state registration of public associations, introducing digital services, informing about legislative changes, and providing legal advice.
Key project objectives:
- introducing the possibility of online registration of public associations through the Diia portal;
- expanding opportunities for CSO registration at any ASC or through a notary;
- abolition of discriminatory norms on taxation of CSOs' activities in the provision of social services;
- legal support for CSOs, in particular through online consultations;
- informing organizations about current legislative initiatives, adopted laws and bylaws that affect the sector.
