From September 2008 through May 2011, the John Glenn School of Public Affairs at the Ohio State University (OSU) working under subcontract to Indiana University implements the Parliamentary Development Project Legislative Policy Development Program (PDP II) as USAID's primary programmatic vehicle for achieving improved legislative function and process in Ukraine. The project is focused on three ob
jectives:
Executive and legislative branches of government will demonstrate more effective and transparent legislative and policy decision-making. The Parliament, Presidential Secretariat, and Cabinet of Ministers will engage in efforts to institutionalize staff and organizational development capacity. Building on the 14-year long experience of the Parliamentary Development Project of Ukraine (PDP), this three-year project, continues to provide technical assistance to Ukraine's Parliament and extends it to the Presidential Secretariat, the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and individual ministries. PDP-II focuses on efficient mechanisms of developing legislative policy and institutional capacity building of the legislative and executive branches of power.
