USAID Office of Transition Initiatives USAID Office of Transition Initiatives 2018 Ukraine Social Cohesion & Reconciliation Index (SCORE) What is SCORE? The SCORE Index is a research and analysis tool that helps policy makers and stakeholders in Ukraine understand political leanings, the drivers of conflict and social cohesion. It also helps identify potential threats to national unity and stability during Ukraine's democratic transition. SCORE was developed in 2012 by The Centre for Sustainable Peace and Democratic Development (SeeD) in partnership with UNDP and USAID. SCORE was conducted twice in Ukraine at a national level, in 2016 and in 2018. To date, SCORE has also been used in Cyprus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nepal, Liberia, Moldova and Iraq. 2016 2018 August 2015 and December 2016 November 2017 and March 2018 Overall Sample Size: 10, 278 Overall Sample Size: 10,060 Government Controlled Area (GCA): 9,337 Government Controlled Area2018 (GCA): - 9,018 Non-Government Controlled Area (NGCA) Luhansk and Donetsk: 941 Non-Government Controlled Area (NGCA) Luhansk and Donetsk: 1,042 Interpreting SCORE: SCORE findings are presented as a series of indicators. Each indicator measures a particular phenomenon (e.g. economic security, social tolerance, support for reform or policies) and is derived from at least 3 questionnaire items. The scores are not percentages; they are composite index values that represent the intensity of a particular indicator as measured through a number of related questions. How to Read Heat Maps 2018 OBLAST-LEVEL SCORE Each oblast is shaded by color with the 2018 value according to the scale below: Chernihiv 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Sumy CHANGE IN OBLAST SCORE Kyiv # City BETWEEN 2016 & 2018 The value in each circle denotes the change in value from 2016 to 2018 Kyiv Poltava Decrease -1.0 - If the value has decreased since 2016, Cherkasy the change is shown as negative Increase Kirovohrad + If the value has increased since 2016, +1.0 the change is shown as positive 1 Methodology The SCORE Index is based on a participatory research methodology where multilevel stakeholder consultations, focus groups and interviews are conducted to inform the calibration of a national survey. Once experts conduct a preliminary analysis of the data collected, SCORE results are further refined via stakeholder consultations and dialogue groups, which inform the formation of indices and policy briefs.

TOP RECOMMENDATIONS & TAKEAWAYS Geopolitical leanings are becoming less important. Most Ukrainians support some ties with Russia and the EU. In eastern Ukraine there is some support for the EU, while western Ukraine is more skeptical of relations with Russia. The community of tolerant reformers is growing in the east and south of Ukraine. However, many Ukrainians with any Russian political and cultural sentiments do not feel free to voice their political opinions, leading to disengagement by a significant portion of the population. Support for a pluralistic Ukrainian identity is strong in the east and south, but Ukrainian identity is understood based more on ethnicity in the west. There is an opportunity to build unity around a vision for Ukraine that emphasizes core Western values such as civic engagement, good governance, and human rights.

TOP RECOMMENDATIONS & TAKEAWAYS Support for all reforms, with the exception of privatization (while very low), is declining. People are most skeptical of “pocket book reforms” such as pensions, healthcare and utilities. Corruption remains a key grievance of the public, but support for anti-corruption reform is waning as people lose hope in the possibility of progress. There is a correlation between economic security and reforms (i.e. people expect the reform process to lead to tangible improvements in their quality of life). Strengthening civic values has a positive impact on perception of reforms. CHANGES SINCE 2016 + What Improved What Stayed The Same - What Got Worse Increased feelings of economic, human Low trust in local and national Decreased support for decentralization, and personal security in most oblasts authorities, security services and deregulation and anti-corruption reforms media institutions Improved perceptions of infrastructure Significant increase in tolerance to and state services Low support for privatization reform corruption OVERALL SUPPORT National Volyn FOR REFORMS Average Rivne Chernihiv The level of support for various 7.2 government reforms: decentralization, Kyiv Sumy privatization, pension, education, Zhytomyr City health and anti-corruption.

  • UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious
    UKRAINE The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these protections. The government generally respected religious freedom in law and in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations, and property restitution problems remained; however, the government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti- Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against different Christian denominations in different parts of the country and vandalism of religious property. Various religious organizations continued their work to draw the government's attention to their issues, resolve differences between various denominations, and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. embassy representatives raised these concerns with government officials and promoted ethnic and religious tolerance through public outreach events. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 233,000 square miles and a population of 45.4 million. The government estimates that there are 33,000 religious organizations representing 55 denominations in the country. According to official government sources, Orthodox Christian organizations make up 52 percent of the country's religious groups. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (abbreviated as UOC-MP) is the largest group, with significant presence in all regions of the country except for the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil oblasts (regions).

  • One Ukraine Or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 32, No. 1, March 2004 One Ukraine or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences Lowell W. Barrington & Erik S. Herron Intra-state regional differences are a central topic in the study of European and Eurasian politics. In Ukraine, regional differences have proven to be powerful predictors of mass attitudes and political behavior. But what does the “regional factor” in Ukrainian politics represent? Is it simply the result of compositional effects, or are the regional differences more than just a sum of other demographic factors correlated with geographic divisions? When analyzing regional divisions as an explanatory variable, what are the implications of employing different regional frameworks? In this article, we demonstrate how geographic divisions in the country hold up even when others factors—such as ethnicity and language use—are con- trolled for. As part of this inquiry, we compare the results of three competing regional frameworks for Ukraine: one with two regions, one with four regions and one with eight regions. While the eight-region framework is uncommon in studies of Ukraine, the decision to examine eight regions is supported by historical, economic and demographic arguments, as well as by the results of the statistical analyses presented in this article. Scholars who have focused on fewer regions in Ukraine may have underestimated the effects of regional differences and missed interesting stories about intra-state variation in Ukrainian attitudes and voting behavior. The results of this study carry important implications not only for the study of Ukraine but also for those interested in intra-state regional divisions across Europe and Eurasia.

As a result, the Polish Eastern border also became an external border of the EU. European Neighbourhood Policy instruments were made available to develop cross-border cooperation with the Eastern neighbours based on common values and goals. Building a zone of sustainable development whilst maintaining cultural diversity and tolerance became a joint priority for the border regions of Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. The border regions gained a great opportunity to strengthen their cooperation through the realisation of com- mon projects within the ENPI CBC Programme Poland-Bela- rus-Ukraine 2007-2013. I am proud to present a series of publications reflecting how the regions from the eligible area of the Programme ap- proached cross-border cooperation and what specific pro- jects are being implemented on their territories to improve development processes.
