Ukraine

The Civil Society Index was first implemented in Ukraine from 2000 to 2001 by the League of Regional Resource Centres and the Counterpart Creative Centre (CCC), leading to a first report. From 2003 to 2006, it was implemented again by the Counterpart Creative Centre (CCC) and the Center for Philanthropy (CFP), with the international coordination of CIVICUS. This implementation led to the publication of an analytical country report, presenting the results of the CSI initiative in the country.

Civil Society in Ukraine: Driving engine or spare wheel for change?

During 2003 and 2004 the Counterpart Creative Center and the Center for Philanthropy collected information and input from a broad range of civil society representatives, citizens, experts, and researchers on the state of civil society in Ukraine as they implemented the CIVICUS Civil Society Index (CSI) project. The National Implementing Team built on the 2001 pilot CSI project and examined to what extent Ukrainian civil society has changed over the last years.

This report provides detailed recommendations for strengthening civil society in Ukraine and the diamond that emerges for Ukraine, shows a civil society that is well balanced and of moderate size. The project outcomes for Ukraine will become a valuable resource for the development of the strategy of civil society and state cooperation, which the Ukrainian government can use in the framework of the EU-Ukraine Action Plan. The CSI has become part of the National Strategy of Civil Society Development.
