Within the framework of ‘Use of evaluation processes for efficient management of united communities’ project we conducted two seminars. 24 participants from 7 regions of Ukraine participated in the event; we invited representatives of 8 communities and 8 evaluators from Ukraine, we made evaluation researches within 8 communities, and finally, we invited all concerned to join the conference titled ‘Efficient Communities Management Through Evaluation Processes’.

‘Use of Evaluation Processes for Efficient Management of United Communities’ conference took place On Monday 20th November in Kyiv, organized by the Democratic Society East (DSE) (Warsaw, Poland) and the East Ukrainian Centre for Civic Initiatives (Kyiv, Ukraine). Nearly 50 people from united territorial communities in the East of Ukraine participated in the conference. Some of the participants also took part in the ‘Use of Evaluation Processes for Efficient Management of United Communities’ project.

A workshop for Ukrainian evaluation experts took place on 30 July-1 August in Chernihiv. A year earlier, the same experts participated in ‘Evaluation of Public Policies in Action’ - a joint Ukrainian-Polish project. Eight evaluators from Poltava, Luhansk and Kharkiv regions took part in the event. This year’s workshop was dedicated to ex-ante evaluation of the projects.
