These are the latest findings of the USAID/ENGAGE Civic Engagement Poll, revealing that while citizen engagement is low, awareness of and interest in participation is a cause for optimism.

One in three Ukrainians (32.8%) say that they regularly or randomly attend meetings in their communities. As in previous polls, a smaller share of citizens says that they are engaged in the activities of civil society organizations (16.9%).

On March 10, 2020, on the occasion of International Women's Day, simultaneously, in Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv and Kherson, the bell rang to draw attention to the key role of business in promoting gender equality. In Vinnitsa, Bronwyn Cruden, Deputy Director of the Canadian Development Program and Elena Trapeznikova, Senior Project Coordinator of the Embassy of Canada in Ukraine, joined the event.
