The legislative impact assessment is a tool that helps analyse and forecast the potential impact of formulated public policies. Sustained use of this tool and its popularisation allows the Agency to promote its implementation in the work of the parliament.
On 31 January, the Committee on the Organisation of State Power, Local Self-Government, Regional Development and Urban Planning held a workshop on the principles and practices of legislative impact assessment.
The workshop encompassed draft laws aimed at regional development and local self-government. Rick Stewart, Senior Advisor to our project, former Assistant Deputy Minister of the Government of Canada, and now a professor of legislative and regulatory impact assessment, joined the event. Rick Stewart assisted representatives of the committee in reviewing practical cases of legislative impact assessment.
The event was part of the project “Parliament and Accountability of the Security Sector in Ukraine” (PASS Ukraine), which the Agency implements jointly with the Parliamentary Centre (Canada), in cooperation with the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and with the support of Global Affairs Canada within the framework of the Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs).
