The “Influencers Empowered: Improved participation of civil society in the policy development and monitoring of the executive authorities” Program, known by its shortened name Spilnodiia (Joint Action), is being implemented by East Europe Foundation in a consortium with the Ukrainian Center for Independent Political Research (UCIPR), Razom Proty Koruptsiyi CSO (Together Against Corruption), the Kyiv School of Economics, and ALDA, an international organization, with funding from the European Union.
The project is being implemented from November 2021 to November 2023 and covers all of Ukraine outside the temporarily occupied territories.
Spilnodiia aims to strengthen the capacity of civil society activists to participate in the formation of government policy and to monitor the activities of government agencies and their performance in carrying out reforms.
Spilnodiia’s purpose is to increase trust among Ukrainians towards government institutions and to establish a dialog between the government and unified territorial communities (UTCs) using the instruments of e-democracy. It has three main components:
Analytical work
Developing electronic tools and services
Strengthening civil sector activists
