Project goal and activity
Enhance public awareness of political reforms and extend access to objective information about activities and decisions of Ukrainian public and political figures.
UCIPR will continue to promote public debate on democracy in Ukraine. With the aim to facilitate the constitutional reform and relevant transformations, UCIPR will carry out a series of actions analyzing the state of democracy in the country, including trainings, meetings, surveys, focus groups, and discussions to launch a dialogue on the reform and national cohesion. UCIPR will also hold in-depth studies on Crimea, political parties, and parliamentary ethics.
UCIPR will continue to monitor and analyze issues that impact political stability in the country, focusing on Crimea’s status in terms of the constitutional reform, as well as ethical principles of parliamentarism and state service in order to develop recommendations for the Constitutional Commission.
