2020-2021 to Improved Administrative Service Delivery Dear Partners and Friends VISUAL REPORT U-LEAD with Europe Programme's Support 2020-2021 to Improved Administrative Service Delivery Dear partners and friends, It is time to summarise almost five years of support to improved administrative services delivery in Ukraine within the U-LEAD with Europe Programme. Since 2016, we have supported the newly established hromadas in their great path of change and transformation. During this period Ukraine has launched an irreversible decentralisation. The Government, the Parliament and the new local self-governments have made remarkable achievements, devotedly supported by the international community. We are proud to have contributed to the achievements, supporting and emphasising the basic principles of decentralisation reform: bringing services closer to people and strengthening the capacity of the new local self-governments – the Ukrainian hromadas. As a result of our partnership with hromadas across Ukraine, 1 300 access points to services will be established. This number include the main Administrative Service Centres (ASCs) and their territorial units, remote workplaces, and mobile offices. More than 11 000 employees of ASCs and local self-governments have passed an advanced training programme; the Programme’s experts have developed and tested a methodological support package for local self-governments to use for the establishment of Administrative Service Centres that are free from any discrimination and accessible to every Ukrainian woman or man, boy or girl. U-LEAD with Europe has also developed IT systems that will optimise the delivery of public services and the work in ASCs: Trembita and Vulyk. Those systems are officially delivered to and managed by the Government of Ukraine. Our achievements became possible thanks to great teamwork with a high level of trust and mutual support. I want to thank all our SUSANNA DELLANS partners for your devotion, enthusiasm, and hard work with the aim to provide residents and businesses with the necessary services and consultations close to their homes or places of business. SIDA PROGRAMME DIRECTOR OF U-LEAD WITH EUROPE U-LEAD with Europe will continue supporting decentralisation in Ukraine, but this chapter of direct support to 484 partner hromadas is now coming to an end. I wish for the Ukrainian hromadas that you will continue your positive development. Be certain that you are on the right path, improving the quality of life for your residents. On behalf of the European Union, the U-LEAD with Europe Programme, and on behalf of our great team, I thank you for the effective partnership! 02 03 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE CENTRES AS ONE-STOP-SHOPS 20 CASE STUDY.

In total 929 applications were received from hromadas. 484 of those were selected as partners by the Programme’s experts and the Ministries for Regional Development, Digital Transformation, and Economic Development. 2 DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR ASCs In dialogue with the partner hromadas, our experts assessed the needs for services, and developed individual ToRs for 484 hromadas. Each ToR is unique and describes how to establish a particular ASC. It determines the responsibilities and respective financial contributions for the Programme’s cooperation with the hromada. 3 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUPPORT The support to each partner hromada was implemented in accordance with the ToR, the Declaration of Intent, and an agreement with the Programme. The support included training, consultations, design of premises, furniture, IT-equipment, software (including the Vulyk Information System), an electronic queue management system, and in some cases, mobile ASCs. 4 HELP DESK SUPPORT The Programme’s Help Desk provided additional consultations to partner hromadas, and support to any Ukrainian hromada in the process of ASC establishment. 5 POLICY DEVELOPMENT 04 The Programme facilitated the development of new and improved legislation to support the development of ASCs. 2021 ESTABLISHMENT AND MODERNISATION OF ASCs TO PROVIDE GOOD QUALITY SERVICES U-LEAD VISUAL REPORT FOR EVERYONE 05 ESTABLISHMENT AND MODERNISATION OF ASCs TO PROVIDE GOOD QUALITY SERVICES FOR EVERYONE PARTNERSHIP 18 27 22 18 AND RESULTS 19 20 21 18 17 11 17 4 29 30 21 33 18 11 27 9 25 16 applications for Programme's support received from hromadas 10 23 million residents received access to quality administrative service Number of ASCs 11,9 established with the Programme's support efficient ASCs and 816 remote service access points were established or modernised, and 11 mobile units were delivered were developed for the Ministry of Digital Transformation - to enable digitalisation of service delivery; the Trembita Interoperability System and the Vulyk Software for ASC Administrators 06 2021 ASCs WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN ALL UKRAINIAN HROMADAS U-LEAD VISUAL REPORT BY 2024 07 ASCs WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN ALL UKRAINIAN HROMADAS BY 2024 THE PROGRAMME SUPPORTED THE MINISTRY OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION TO ESTABLISH ACCESSIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SERVICES DELIVERY IN THE UKRAINIAN HROMADAS. THIS RESULTED IN A DETAILED MAP OF SERVICES ACCESS POINTS FOR EACH OF UKRAINE’S 24 OBLASTS. 1 2 Based on this modelling, the Ministry of Digital Transformation develops a time schedule for establishment of ASCs and access points to administrative services in all hromadas. The modelling is used by hromadas as a basis for planning remote access points. Key minimum criteria for setting up access points were adopted by the Government; based on distance (up to 14 km) and time (up to 30 minutes) to reach a service access point. AS A RESULT OF THE MODELLING, THE RESIDENTS’ ACCESS TO SERVICES IMPROVE, FOR INSTANCE IN VOLYN OBLASTS MODELLING OF THE NETWORK OF SERVICE ACCESS POINTS IN VOLYN OBLAST 98.4 % OF THE POPULATION WILL BE REACHED COMPARED MAP 1 – EXISTING SERVICE POINTS 08 TO 72 % PREVIOUSLY.

Despite their significant numbers, however, these Ukrainians remain largely unknown to the international community, receiving none of the attention that has been accorded, for example, to Russian minorities in the successor states to the former Soviet Union. According to the last Soviet census of 1989, approximately 4.3 million Ukrainians live in the Russian Federation; unofficial estimates of the size of this group run considerably higher.

  • The Ukrainian Bible and the Valuev Circular of July 18, 1863
    Acta Slavica Iaponica, Tomus 28, pp. 1‒21 Articles The Ukrainian Bible and the Valuev Circular of July 18, 1863 Andrii Danylenko On July 18 of 1863, a circular sent by Pёtr Valuev,1 Russia’s minister of internal affairs, to the censorship committees imposed restrictions on Ukraini- an-language publications in the Russian Empire. In accordance with this docu- ment, the Censorship Administration could “license for publication only such books in this language that belong to the realm of fine literature; at the same time, the authorization of books in Little Russian with either spiritual content or intended generally for primary mass reading should be ceased.”2 The gen- esis of this circular, which was incorporated into a later act limiting Ukrainian- language publishing, namely, the so-called Ems Decree of May 18, 1876, has been the focus of numerous studies. Various historians (Fedir Savčenko, David Saunders, Alexei Miller, Ricarda Vulpius) tackled the emergence of the Valuev Circular from various points of view that appear sometimes complementary, sometimes kaleidoscopic, while covering loosely related aspects of the prob- lem. In this paper, the Valuev Circular will be addressed in the context of the appearance of modern translations of the Holy Scriptures into vernacular Ukrainian, thus expanding conventional approaches to the initiation of pro- hibitive measures against the Ukrainian language. ON THE GENESIS OF THE CIRCULAR Among circumstantial theories, premised on some secondary aspects of the genesis of the Valuev Circular, deserving of attention is Remy’s recent at- tempt to treat the appearance of anti-Ukrainian edicts as an incidental intru- sion of the individual into the historical chain of events.

  • Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond
    A Life Histories of Etnos Theory NDERSON in Russia and Beyond , A , Edited by David G. Anderson, Dmitry V. Arzyutov RZYUTOV and Sergei S. Alymov The idea of etnos came into being over a hundred years ago as a way of understanding the collecti ve identi ti es of people with a common language and shared traditi ons. In AND the twenti eth century, the concept came to be associated with Soviet state-building, and it fell sharply out of favour. Yet outside the academy, etnos-style arguments not A only persist, but are a vibrant part of regional anthropological traditi ons. LYMOV Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond makes a powerful argument for etnos reconsidering the importance of in our understanding of ethnicity and nati onal ( identi ty across Eurasia. The collecti on brings to life a rich archive of previously EDS unpublished lett ers, fi eldnotes, and photographic collecti ons of the theory’s early proponents. Using contemporary fi eldwork and case studies, the volume shows .)

Using social movement theory this study focuses on the dominant frames being used by Ukrainian women activists as they voice their concerns and solutions to local Ukrainian women, foreign donors and the broader public while seeking to acquire material resources from foreign and domestic sources. This research helps to answer the following questions. To what extent is the success of women’s groups and groups generally constrained by culture? Can groups that represent women outside
