The issues of regulatory and legal support for the civil society development in Ukraine are studied in the article. Important documents that contributed to the development of civil society are analyzed.
The author revealed the concept of civil society. The current existing approaches to understanding civil society are considered. The supporters of the first approach, a broad one, perceive civil society as a certain stage of development of any society. The second approach considers civil society as a complex of all non-governmental social relations. The main components in the civil society system and the main roles of civil society organizations are mentioned. They are: development services, influence on politics by means of dialogue and advocacy, human rights protection and democratization.
It is noted that the rapid development of civil society in Ukraine began after the Revolution of Dignity in 2013-2014. An example of citizens’ initiative that emerged during the Revolution of Dignity was the Reanimation Package of Reforms. It was determined that the top 3 tasks of non-governmental organizations in Ukraine were government control, civic education, support and stimulation of reforms.
The article examines the process of civil society development in the legislative context. The Strategy of Sustainable Development “Ukraine-2020”, the National Economic Strategy for the period up to 2030, the “National Strategy for Promoting Civil Society Development in Ukraine for 2021-2026” and others are analyzed. It has been proven that the main areas of work include the importance of establishing communication with civil society institutions and information support, including feedback. The main prerequisite for the process of civil society development is a social contract between government, business and civil society where each party has its own area of responsibility.
