On 3 May 2022 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine established an Inter-factional Union (IFU) “Strategic Foresight of Ukraine” comprising 25 MPs to support the process of Strategic Foresight on Recovery and Development Policies for Ukraine. 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 are streamlined into the deliberations by key governmental stakeholders and in particular, the National Council for the Recovery of Ukraine. In partnership with the United Nations Development Programme in Ukraine, the UK Parliaments’ “All-Party Parliamentary Group for Future Generations”, Estonian Parliamentary Foresight Center and the EU agencies, we will conduct a series of strategic steps to enhance the resilience of planned policies in multiple probable futures.

To support this work, UNDP Ukraine partnered with IFU and developed a Chatbot - as a tool to collect views of general public and support validation of findings. This Chabot already has 270+ users and number of completed questionaries is more than 400 (more than 3000 data points (text, numeric, single choice, multiple choice). We expect this number to grow significantly and need support in developing a work process on descriptive data analysis, as well as text analysis which would require minimum manual labor for the involved analysts.
