Support Digital Events Facilitation within the Strategic Foresight

Mission and objectives

On 3 May 2022, to support the process of Strategic Foresight, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine established an Inter-factional Union (IFU) “Strategic Foresight of Ukraine” comprising 25 MPs. The main goal of this Union is to “unite and coordinate the efforts of Ukrainian MPs on development of scenarios for Ukraine’s postwar future, identifying key trends, risks, and security factors”.
The Strategic Foresight will serve as an input to the strategic review of policies; it will help uncover opportunities and threats that traditional processes might miss. Members of the IFU will work to ensure that the results streamlined into the deliberations by key governmental stakeholders.
