USAID RADA Program has been implemented by East Europe Foun- dation since 2013 with the support of the United States Agency for Inter- national Development (USAID). Its primary goal is to promote an accountable, responsible and democratic representative body – the Parliament of Ukraine. The Program experts, together with Ukrainian MPs, their aides and members of the Apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada, set up effective collaboration with constituencies, work to improve the quality of exercising representative powers by MPs, involve citizens in the legislative process, introduce effective means of communication, informing and providing services to citizens. In addition, they contribute to expanding the participation of citizens in moni - toring the work of the Parliament, as well as strengthening its control function.

We consider that the main objectives of the Program are to develop organizational potential of community-based organizations as well as improve managerial competencies of community activists. We also aim to establish a network of partner community-based organizations, which will be an effective mech- anism for coordinating community initiatives at all levels.

The Register of Veterans will allow to keep records of veterans promptly and correctly, ensure the relevance of data on veterans, significantly reduce the need for paperwork between authorities, provide information on the efficiency of the use of state resources to provide benefits and services for veterans. And the e-cabinet will become a "one-stop shop", where veterans will be able to find the necessary information about specialized state services according to their life situations. The work on these innovations is carried out within the framework of the project implemented by the International Research and Exchange Board (IREX) and commissioned by the Ministry for Veterans Affairs of Ukraine.

What has been achieved in 2021:

◆ Conducted a legal analysis of the provisions of the current legislation on the creation and functioning of the Unified State Reg- ister of Veterans of War in the context of the implementation of the e-register of veterans. Based on the analysis, prepared a list of recommendations on amendments and supplements to regulatory legal acts to ensure a legal basis for the functioning of such a register.
