The topic of interaction between civil society institutions and the state is important and relevant on the path of democratic development. During the full-scale invasion of the aggressor, civil society consolidated to help the army and the citizens. This situation showed us the importance of having a developed civil society and responsible citizens in the state. Citizens' trust in public institutions is growing, as is the demand for cooperation between civil society and the state. These positive changes in the consciousness of citizens lead to a public demand for large-scale democratization of state processes and the involvement of civil society in the process of decision-making and implementation. This topic is extremely relevant today and requires research to further improve the interaction of civil society institutions with the state in crisis situations and in peaceful life. In addition, the article analyzes the methods of cooperation of public institutions with state bodies and selects specific cases that demonstrate the positive influence of civil society on state processes.

Strong and developed institutions of civil society contribute to the improvement of state activity in specific sectors and in general. In recent years, the naked eye can see positive changes in the perception of civil society by the authorities. Today's achievements are certainly important, but quality cooperation at all levels still requires work. The article contains examples of civil society initiatives in various spheres of activity. The conclusions emphasize the importance of communication and direct cooperation between the state and civil society institutions.
