Contesto The Ukraine Reform Conference (URC) has become a key annual international event dedicated to the expert discussion of the progress of Ukraine's ongoing comprehensive reforms process. Over the past years, it has been an important platform that brings together Ukrainian and international stakeholders to assess the democratic transformations and reforms, which have taken place in the country since 2014. Until now, the reform process has been carried out by the government with a top-down approach. Broader support from different stakeholders of society, including at the regional/local level, is required for the effective implementation and long-term success of the reforms.
