Ye. Bystrytsky: "We do not organize the civil society. We assist in creating conditions required for its self-organization."

Elections to the Parliament were the central event of the year 2002. This event was of a special importance for non-profit NGOs of the country. We may assert that 2002 was the first year when the civil society of Ukraine for the first time loudly declared about its existence, by implementing a number of initiatives intended to create conditions for greater transparency and democracy of elections.

It is exemplary that the International Renaissance Foundation also promoted the implementation by NGOs of effective joint actions. For example, the Foundation supported the all-Ukrainian independent monitoring of elections, as well as the manufacturing and placement on the nationwide television channels of social advertisements, which warned against violations of electoral legislation and encouraged citizens to fearlessly make their informed choices. Together with other donors, the IRF conducted an independent exit poll on the day of election. Also, the IRF promptly responded to the urgent need of society – it supported the conduct of pre-electoral debate on central television channels. Although, this competition took place only on fourth attempt, it promoted openness and democracy providing electors with an access to balanced information about participants of the electoral race.

The IRF supported the organization and holding of the first in Ukraine NGO’s forum "Society Facing the Choice." The forum was attended by representatives from 280 most active regional NGOs involved in monitoring the electoral process. The participants also included Ukrainian politicians, well-known foreign experts, in particular, the former Secretary of State, Ms. Madeline Allbright, group of American Senators, national and foreign mass media. One of the Forum results was the establishment of the Civil Advisory Board of the VR Committee on Freedom of Speech and Information. It includes representatives from 30 NGOs and independent experts working in the field of mass media. It was them who raised the issue of civil counteraction to the shadow censorship in the mass media of Ukraine, organized civil and parliamentary hearings dedicated to this topic, and founded the first independent trade union of Ukrainian journalists.

The penitentiary reform achieved its first material results. The Foundation promoted the development, bringing into compliance with international human rights instruments and standards of treatment of prisoners, formulation of an expert opinion and public discussion of the draft code of criminal execution of Ukraine titled "State Program for Supporting Further Reform of the Criminal Execution System till 2004." The Foundation’s initiatives had serious social repercussions regarding the introduction of alternative punishments, creation of a probation service executing civil types of punishments and of a patronage service that would take care of a social adaptation of persons released after serving their sentences at prisons. The Foundation promoted the meeting among representatives of human rights organizations of Ukraine. The meeting formulated its support of the initiative regarding a joint activity of human rights organizations. The development of mechanisms for cooperation between human rights organizations with the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and its profile committee has been initiated.

In late 2002, the Parliament approved the resolution regarding recommendations of parliamentary hearings "Ukrainian Culture: Situation and Development Prospects." Their creation was directly initiated by the IRF within the Reform of Legislation to Ensure Legal Support for Cultural Development of Ukraine Project. Due to the program, independent experts, for the first time, prepared the analytical report "Key Problems and Prospects of Cultural Development of Ukraine."

The IRF played an important role as one of the coordinators of donor organizations during the elections. Let us mention only principal joint efforts. Based on the IRF’s informational resources, the Market Place for Donors was created that helps to maintain constant online cooperation among donors. IRF has strengthened its partnership cooperation with UNDP, Eurasia Foundation, Charles St. Motte Foundation and other donors. Work has been supported of national round tables "ICT for the Development of Ukraine" within the Innovation Trampoline program implemented jointly with UNDP and the State Committee on Communication and Information of Ukraine. The Civil Internet-Portal Project [http://www.civicua.org] began its activities providing relevant IT-services to the third sector to ensure the exchange of information and work in the Internet. The implementation of the IRF’s initiative has started within the information program and was joined by the Ministry of Culture and Arts of Ukraine, Regional State Administrations, World Bank in Ukraine, National Parliamentary Library of Ukraine, IREX, Goethe Institut Inter Nationes in Kyiv, British Council in Ukraine and Microsoft Corporation – it is the "Creation of Regional Information Portals and Information Centers Based on Public Libraries of Ukraine" program implemented in 24 regions of Ukraine and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

The last-year activities of the IRF strengthened its reputation in the country and among civil society organizations. The IRF’s program strategy for 2003 in particular relies on using the social capital accumulated over the previous years and activated in the decisive year 2002, in order to strengthen the impact of NGOs on the formation of an open and democratic society.

The Program was launched in 1999 with the aim to promote development of the Roma minority as one of the most vulnerable minority communities in Ukraine suffering open discrimination by public agencies, social services, and law-enforcement bodies. Over 2002, the Program provided the Roma community with possibilities to meet their needs in education and cultural self-expression, as well as with technical means necessary to establish cooperation and exchange of expertise with other organizations and institutions both in Ukraine and abroad. First and foremost, the Program was targeting activation of Roma civic movement and development of Roma NGO. As one of its achievements, the Program established communication with Roma communities and NGOs. There are already over 40 Roma NGOs in Ukraine which now have their problems defined in a more specific manner. The Program sees its next step in improvement of horizontal relations between Roma organizations and civic institutions to cultivate more beneficial environment for full-fledged development of the discriminated communities.

Generally, the Roma of Ukraine Program supported initiatives on three core priorities in social (including support to resource and medical centers), educational (support to the Roma studying at universities and assistance on Roma educational projects), and cultural areas.

The key achievements of the Roma of Ukraine Program in 2002 include the following:

• Assistance to Roma students getting their education at Ukrainian universities.
• Development of Roma educational centers.
• Establishment of close relations with Roma communities and NGO (over 40 Roma NGOs in Ukraine today).

Education in Ukraine, beginning with pre-school education, is based on gender differentiation which strengthens the division of social roles into purely female or male ones in the perception of girls and boys. It is a kind of a training for unequal social positions of men and women that starts at the early stage of individual development. Obviously, there is a necessity for essential changes in the structure of educational process and integration of gender approaches into education.

To implement gender sensitive concepts and methods into education, the Program continued its support to the innovation educational program, Empowering Education, aiming to promote changes and development of public opinion on gender equality. The Program also funded a training course on gender-sensitive journalism for students and professors of the Faculty of Journalism at Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University.

The Program will also provide its assistance to the second all-Ukrainian competition of student papers on gender topics to stimulate independent research on gender subjects among students. This will also allow to determine the ways of implementing gender approaches into university education.

To enhance economic possibilities of women in Ukraine, the Program organized a competition for "Support to comprehensive business development programs for women" (jointly with Winrock International). The supported projects envisage implementation of complex economic programs, provision of information and advisory support to businesswomen at regional and national levels and in specific economic sectors.

Grant Amount: $ 40 001
Share of the Total Grant Amount: 0,65 %.


A human right for healthy life and access to modern health care services is one of the basic human rights, as well as a key component of stable development. Social, economic and environmental problems have caused decline of the birth rate; careless attitude to one's own health; proliferation of HIV/AIDS infection and sexually transmitted diseases; early sexual relations without any awareness of contraception and prevention of venereal diseases. This is not a complete, but quite an extensive list of causes of complicated women's reproductive health and the death rate spurred by cancer diseases of the reproductive system.

In 2002, the Program supported a number of projects aiming at educating individuals oriented towards healthy way of life, informing the youth on the importance of contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. The Program also funded campaigns to disseminate information on the possibilities to prevent pre-cancer and cancer diseases of the female reproductive system.

Support provided by the Program made it possible to organize a nationwide educational campaign, Knowledge Defeats Cancer, aiming not only to inform women about the necessity of early diagnostics, but also to collect charity contributions to purchase diagnostics equipment for central cancer treatment hospital. The campaign also promoted lobbying of women's rights for high quality diagnostics, treatment and after-surgery recovery under modern standards.

Translation of Foreign Gender Literature in Ukrainian

Number of Projects: 8.
Grant Amount: $ 34 000
Share of the Total Grant Amount: 0,55 %.


This competition was organized due to lack of information and superfluous analysis of gender related topics, as well as failure to notice these topics in the general context of culture and sociality, psychology and philosophy. The competition is aiming to spread the idea of gender equality in the Ukrainian society by publishing Ukrainian translations of papers prepared by foreign authors on gender matters.

The supported translations will help to form the ideas on the most recent tendencies in modern gender studies and will inform on the modern analytical methods and approaches that can become helpful for classes on gender topics.

Among other books, the Program also supported translation of chapters from "Woman and Health". This book contains a much broader range of issues than the previous publications on the subject and is not limited to the reproduction aspects only.

Mass Media Program

Number of Projects: 74.
Grant Amount: $ 757 962
Share of the Total Grant Amount: 12,31 %.


In 2002, the Mass Media Program launched in 1993 helped to resolve a whole range of interrelated issues associated with establishment of freedom of speech and development of the parliamentary elections. As a matter of fact, the IRF's strategy, Media and Elections, adopted for the above parliamentary elections became the strategy for promotion of free access to balanced information and advancement of open debates between various political forces, something that Ukrainian media were not able to provide on their own. Implementing the Program, IRF accumulated public interest in the media model embracing not only state and corporate (party) business, but also social matters.

Peculiarities of the national election campaign became apparent in the distorted presentation of information to voters which prevented the public from making a balanced decision on their electoral choice. IRF was the first to attract attention to this fact. It encouraged joint efforts of the Ukrainian public sector and international organizations that together managed to exercise public pressure in a number of cases when the mass media were urged to admit discussion and debate forms of direct communication between voters and politicians, especially those of them who had small chances of accessing the media at the beginning of the election campaign.

At the same time, IRF considered the Program's elections strategy as an opportunity for more distinct formulation of long-term requirements of the media environment as concerns legislative support to the information and media sector.

In 2002, the Program pursued the following priorities:

• Support to broad and effective participation of NGOs in election processes.
• Harmonization of the Ukrainian legislation on information policies, information technology and intellectual property, as well as clear legislative definition of the social advertisement and socially important information campaigns.

In 2002, IRF also supported organization of journalist and media associations promoting professional integration of journalists for definition of the main requirements of their environment and the society, specifically as concerns lobbying for the systems of efficient self-regulation of journalistic environments with due regard of western practices first of all.

Judicial Reform Support Program in Ukraine

Number of Projects: 22.
Grant Amount: $ 273 062
Share of the Total Grant Amount: 4,44 %.


The Judicial Reform Support Program in Ukraine is aiming to promote the reform of Ukrainian judiciary, develop independent and efficient judicial system, ensure open and unbiased administration of justice in Ukraine, and improve court mechanisms for protection of human and civil rights and freedoms.

By now, the history of judicial reform in Ukraine has exceeded a 10-year period. Evidently, its main achievements include establishment of constitutional principles of judiciary as an independent branch of power in Ukraine, adoption of a number of laws and amendments to the valid normative acts in order to regulate organizational and procedural aspects of judiciary.

At the same time, quite a number of topical problems remain unsolved while their solution is required for normal functioning of the judiciary, specifically: information and logistic support to courts, professional education system for candidate judges and improvement of judges' professional skills, specialization of courts, disciplinary liability of judges, litigation reform, and operation of judicial self-governance bodies.

Therefore, the program focused its efforts in 2002 on the following priorities:

• Implementation of principles of independent and unbiased administration of justice through changes in organization of financial and logistic support to courts.
• Provision of normative and practical information to courts and judges.
• Promotion of centralized training and continuing education of judges.
• Development and improvement of the role of judicial self-governance.
• Development of proposals on amendments to procedural legislation to ensure implementation of principles of competitive and open litigation.

Penitentiary Reform in Ukraine Program

Number of Projects: 40.
Grant Amount: $ 348 676
Share of the Total Grant Amount: 5,66 %.


The main objective of the Penitentiary Reform in Ukraine Program is to promote democratic transformations in the penitentiary system. Development of an open society in Ukraine is impossible without democratization of the system of corrections, its reform for protection of human rights and compliance with international standards of prisoner treatment, as well as its humanization and reorientation towards a humanistic attitude to convicts and their social preservation.

The Program concentrated its efforts on the following priorities:

• Promotion of reform, humanization, and democratization of the penitentiary system.
• Support to NGO initiatives for introduction of programs for resocialization of various categories of convicts (adolescents, women, disabled individuals, drug addicts, etc.).
• Involvement of NGOs into the work with discharged individuals.
• Support to centers for social adaptation of discharged individuals.
• Organization of trainings for penitentiary staff.
• Formation of public opinion through the mass media.
• Promotion of non-custodial punishments among judges.
• Assistance on development and adoption of new democratic legislation.

The Program has been implemented in cooperation with the State Department for Corrections of Ukraine. Implementation of the Program involved assistance provided by experts of the Constitutional and Legal Policy Institute (Budapest, Hungary), as well as the best Ukrainian experts.

In 2002, the Program completed 55 projects started in 2001 and launched 40 new projects. The general amount of grant funds provided for implementation of the projects made up 300,000 USD.

The Program especially succeeded in active involvement of the civil society into the process of solving the problems of reformation, humanization, and democratization of the penitentiary system in Ukraine. Today, already over 60 NGOs successfully implement their initiatives in this social area. The NGO structure has expanded considerably. Nowadays, not only HR NGOs implement the Foundation projects, but also youth, women, informational, and social non-governmental organizations, schools, courts, and corrections.

The penitentiary system became more open due to close cooperation between the IRF, NGOs and the State Department for Corrections, its regional divisions and offices. Openness of the system was also promoted through public opinion on its problems formed through cooperation with the mass media and assistance of the Foundation on establishment of the Department's press-service.

The Foundation supported the setup of a training center to retrain corrections officers and orient their professional activity towards humanization. It also backed initiatives promoting introduction of international standards into the penitentiary operation in Ukraine, catalyze participation of the civil society in its reformation.

The Program's initiatives contribute to the development of democratic legislation and legal field for implementation of the penitentiary reform. Specifically, the Foundation supported expert analysis and public inspection of the Code of Criminal Procedures and the Law of Ukraine on Corrections Service passed by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) in the first reading. The experts invited by the IRF prepared proposals on introduction of the probation system in Ukraine for execution of alternative criminal punishments and legislative support to social adaptation of discharged individuals. As of today, the Foundation has already supported a number of such centers promoting professional training of former convicts, their employment and reintegration into the society.

The "Translation Project" Network Program is a joint initiative of the IRF, Information program of the Open Society Institute, Budapest, and the Next Page Foundation, Sofia, Bulgaria. The program was launched in Ukraine in 1998. Since 1998 till April 2003, 192 book titles were translated into Ukrainian and published by Ukrainian publishing houses with the partial IRF support, and 213 titles are expected to be translated and published.

In 2003 the preferences are given to the projects that start or continue book series, contain polemic articles in academic editions or questions for discussions in civil society titles and envisage open access electronic publication of at least one book chapter.

The maximum possible subsidy is up to fifty percent of the total project’s expenses and may be spent by the publishers on obtaining copyrights, translation, proof-reading and publishing expenses.

Part of Translation Project funds have been used for supplemental scientific and literary proofreading of translations supported by the IRF.

Short-term result of the program activities are as follows: appearance of core texts translations that promote civil society values and demarcate the development of social sciences and humanities in Ukraine; enhancement of cooperation among academics and publishers.

Long-term result of the program is the enhancement of independent (non-state) publishers' activity on international markets and their integration into the world publishers' community.

Systematic impact of the program includes, but is not limited to: modernization and improvement of publishing related procedures and practices such as copyright agreements, royalties and translators' fees; improvement of the quality of academic translations; decentralization of publishing industry; enhancement of economic efficiency of publishing, intellectual and academic life.

In 2002, the "Laboratory of Scientific Translation" project was initiated to help translators (who are mainly professional philologists) to understand and master contemporary terminology of the humanities and social sciences. It provides them with an ample opportunity to get professional advice of the members of editorial and linguistic boards, obtain information on historical facts and textual criticism on the key concepts on social sciences and humanities. Workshops are reflected on the web [http://www.pereklad.kiev.ua].

The project implementation will be continued in 2003-2004. Apart from traditional focus on social sciences and humanities there are subprojects such as the IRF — UNDP — European Union Delegation of the European Commission joint project "Laboratory of Scientific Translation in Education Policy", new initiatives in information policy and legislation.

The project has been implemented by the Youth Humanities Center NGO.

Another innovation activity launched by the program in 2002 was the project for dissemination of books published with the Translation Project's support among regional general scientific and university libraries of Ukraine. The project was implemented in cooperation with the National Parliamentary Library of Ukraine.
