Training “Youth in Governmental Programs”

“We are working to make the parliament more transparent, to establish communication between citizens and individual MPs, committees, etc. The scope of responsibility of the Agency for Legislative Initiatives includes a range of activities: development of a register of non-governmental organisations for the committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for their better communication with the public sector. We also strive to strengthen the control functions of the committees by introducing a mechanism such as the Shadow Report, i.e. reports prepared by public experts upon the request of committees for the implementation of individual programs, individual laws, etc. We carry out events in the format of Town Hall Meetings to provide communication between MPs and voters. We also actively work in the area of education to involve young people in the legislative process, in the process of decision-making, in monitoring policy development and its implementation. This framework includes four trainings for young people, and this is the third training directly related to young people in government programs”

“The Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine is building an open policy to involve young people in the decision-making process at different levels: from the regional (local) to the highest national level.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine seeks to be more transparent and to receive feedback from young people.

The priority of the work of the Ministry is to strengthen the areas of cooperation between the state, civil society and business, as well as to create a platform for the implementation of various youth initiatives”
