Between 2015 and 2022, EECMD played an active role in supporting democratic development in Ukraine, working in a complex and rapidly evolving political environment shaped by ongoing political reforms and societal change.

During this period, the organisation maintained a strategic presence, working closely with political parties, civil society, and citizens to strengthen democratic institutions, encourage civic participation, and promote a more open and competitive political system. EECMD’s engagement focused on building institutional capacity and supporting multisectoral dialogue among key democratic actors.

Through the sustained efforts, EECMD contributed to strengthening democratic culture and supporting more inclusive and participatory political processes across the country.
