The team of the Agency for Legislative Initiatives (ALI) received the Certificate of Honour of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine during the First Session of the Ukrainian School of Political Studies’ landmark 20th programme. The School is an educational and networking project implemented by ALI under the auspices of the Council of Europe. The award was presented by Oleksandr Korniienko, First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and one of the Session’s speakers, in recognition of ALI’s significant contribution to the development of democracy and parliamentarism and the promotion of civic harmony in society.
For more than 26 years, ALI has helped build sustainable institutions in Ukraine and develop evidence-based public policy across a range of areas. ALI’s day-to-day work includes strengthening the institutional capacity of Parliament and the Government, advancing European and Euro-Atlantic integration, monitoring and supporting reforms in the justice and security sectors and providing political and civic education.
ALI regularly analyses the work of the Verkhovna Rada and its Secretariat through its session-by-session Parliamentary Monitoring reports and examines individual parliamentary processes in thematic issues of the Parliamentary Journal. We contribute to the development of draft laws and continue to monitor the implementation of parliamentary reform, a prerequisite for the institutional capacity of the Verkhovna Rada.
Background
The USPS programme explores different aspects of interaction between society and the state, including how these relationships are formed, how institutions and systems develop, what challenges they face and how those challenges can be overcome by taking responsibility and seeking solutions together.
Each year, changemakers from different fields join the USPS Community, including military personnel and entrepreneurs, politicians and civil servants, cultural figures and journalists. Learn more about the School, its values and its programme at this link.
