The Role of Civil Society in EU Migration Policy2One
Civil society provides a crucial link between governments and the communities they represent. Thus far, civil society organisations have had a limited role in European policy debates.
This is the report of the Good Work Commission. The Commissioners are a group of individuals with a great breadth and depth of experience in leading organisations across all sectors, including business, government, the unions, the church, media and the voluntary sector. They believe that ‘good work’ is a benefit to employees, employers and society alike – and that it is possible to make it more rewarding for all involved.
Flowing from that, the purpose of the report is to explore what makes ‘good work’ and how to create more of it. It is based on two key assets: the great breadth of experience and views of the Commissioners and the considerable body of research produced by the Work Foundation over the past decade. The Work Foundation presented a set of eight Provocation Papers to the Commissioners to inform their thinking and stimulate debate. The report draws heavily on those papers and over twenty other studies produced by the Foundation, as well as a wide range of literature produced by others in the UK and elsewhere. Personal perspectives from the Commissioners are incorporated throughout the report, reinforcing and accenting the research-based narrative about the nature of ‘good work’.
The aspiration is for the report to be useful for people who have leadership and management roles in organisations, prompting reflection about how effectively their organisation is dealing with these issues and providing practical suggestions about how they could take it to the next level.

3
5. 2.3. Vision of the Organization
Successful development of Ukraine is impossible without strong and active civil society which will ensure citizens’ contribution to the
improvement of social life, create conditions for the development of alternative political elites and their competition based on
professional and moral qualities, and promote initiative of citizens, accountability and transparency of the government
One of the main problems of the civil society development in Ukraine is the low level of self-organization as well as lack of coordination
of efforts from leading NGOs and opinion leaders, which reduces the effectiveness of advocacy mechanisms in relations with
authorities. Hence, there is a demand for creating conditions for effective self-organization of citizens and developing a platform for
"equal partners - platforms" with all stakeholders which will facilitate high level of interaction and promote important social
development projects.
The platform of platforms is based on the principle of horizontal cooperation, where each platform is an autonomous unit but their
united actions are aimed at achieving a common goal - qualitative changes in the development of an open society.
2.4. Values of the Organization
Integrity. We operate with honesty and integrity that are the basis for making any individual or collective decisions concerning the
Organization.
Transparency. All activities of the Organization are public and open to citizens.
Excellent quality. We strive to achieve quality and valuable results.
Innovation. We encourage the use of new knowledge, creativity and independent thinking in all that we are doing.
Respect for the individual. We treat each other fairly, with dignity and on the basis of equality. We support each other, motivating
everyone to maximize our capacity development.
4
6. Respect to the Center UA. We recognize that the strength of the Center UA is based on our collective and individual commitment to the
Organization’s vision, mission and values.
Financial responsibility. We work on the basis fiscal honesty and transparency that promotes cost competitiveness and financial
responsibility.
Objectivity. Our activity is independent from the influence of political, economic and other factors.
2.5. Activity Priorities and Goals
1. Freedom of speech and access to information.
Goals:
- Fighting against censorship.
- Promoting access to public information.

Project goal: to improve the quality of politics by cleaning the future parliament of corrupt candidates.
Main Project Results
2758 PM candidates and 450 PMs of the VI convocation were assessed against six criteria of integrity.
CHESNOmeter was created – an online tool with PM candidates’ profiles containing information about the violated criteria and
biographical data.
10 representatives from UDAR party and the United Opposition were not allowed to be nominated as PM candidates.
During the year of campaigning, two national surveys were conducted, which demonstrated that over 26% of Ukrainian citizens were
aware of the CHESNO movement.
36 regional CHESNO platforms were created in Ukraine, which united over 150 NGOs and over 500 activists.
Information campaign was conducted at the national and regional levels: numerous publications in online and print media (over 1 million
unique materials), television projects (14 debate issues), reports about violations during the election campaign on ТVі channel; series of
interviews with famous personalities on “Ukrainian Truth” website; CHESNO Media Club (14 meetings), among the guests: the first
President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk, Patriarch Lyudomyr Husar, Boris Nemtsov, Yevhen Zakharov, brothers Kapranov and others.

21. CHESNO is the only public initiative which conducted PM candidates’ debates in some regions of Ukraine. Every three days over the last
year there was a public event of CHESNO movement.
Personal voting and "bodies" are the key issues for the Parliament of the VII convocation.
CHESNO campaign successfully passed the international audit: the auditors noted the proper use of donor funding “Financial information
on income received and expenses incurred in accordance with the terms of agreements with donors was properly reflected in the
financial statements in accordance with the National Accounting Standards”. The auditors also concluded that “the implementation and
impact of the CHESNO campaign were equally successful and successful promotion of political integrity is beyond doubt”.
