This week the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is planning to consider in its second reading bill № 3718 On the Youth Policy Pillars. It is possible for 2021 to become the year of re-launching the youth policy both at the national and local levels on the update pillars and with modern mechanisms of its implementation. Territorial hromadas can obtain all necessary legal provisions to organize their own youth policy under new conditions and with new opportunities. So, bill 3718 having been passed, the youth policy in Ukraine may gain a second wind.

The new pillars of the youth policy have been analyzed by Volodymyr Kupriy, an expert of the USAID DOBRE Programme.
