The NAUCS and the DRI in Ukraine have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation and Partnership

On 17 July, a Memorandum of Cooperation and Partnership was signed between the National Agency of Ukraine on Civil Service and the non-governmental organisation Democracy Reporting International gGmbH (DRI) in Ukraine. 

The document was signed by Nataliia Aliushyna, the Head of the NAUCS, and Stanislav Lyachynskyi, the representative of DRI in Ukraine. 

Among the priority areas of cooperation are the organisation of training courses for interns who have been selected for internships in government institutions, the introduction of thematic meetings with young people, and the recruitment of talented students with potential for further involvement in the public sector.  Nataliia Aliushyna expressed confidence that the organisation of joint events with DRI will contribute to increasing the attractiveness of public service among young people and demonstrate to young professionals real tools for influencing state and regional development processes.
