The Guide for Evaluation of Facilitated Dialogues, a methodological tool developed by Ukrainian experts with support from the OSCE Support Programme for Ukraine is now available on the website in English and Ukrainian languages. Facilitated dialogue helps representatives of different groups ease tensions, clarify differences in views and perspectives and, thus, re-establish communication and identify solutions to problems. It can be particularly useful for enhancing social cohesion, as well as planning and implementing reforms that may affect various interests.
To increase the efficiency of dialogue-related efforts and provide stronger evidence of the benefits of this approach, the OSCE Support Programme for Ukraine supported Ukrainian practitioners in developing the Guide for Evaluation of Facilitated Dialogues. Ukrainian experts Dr. Olha Krasovska and Dr. Tetiana Kyselova developed the methodology and practical guidance on how to evaluate dialogues facilitated by professionals at various levels. The Guide is based on an in-depth analysis of national and international practices, contributions from a dedicated working group with expertise in evaluation and dialogue facilitation, and piloting in five local dialogue processes.
