Summary/Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of youth policy management strategies in Ukraine through the prism of international partnership and cross-sectoral interaction, as well as to outline directions for their further development. Design/Method/Approach: The study is analytical and review-based in nature. General scientific methods were applied, including analysis, synthesis, generalization, and comparison of analytical reports of international organizations and studies conducted by Ukrainian scholars. Findings: The results indicate that the current system of youth policy implementation in Ukraine is characterized by a high level of decentralization and active engagement of the civil society sector. At the same time, several challenges have been identified, including insufficient coordination between sectors and limited financial resources. The article proposes directions for improvement, such as the establishment of an effective system of cross-sectoral communication, enhancement of managerial capacity at the local level, and expansion of youth participation in decision-making processes. Theoretical Implications: The study contributes to the development of public administration theory in the context of youth policy by supplementing it with the concept of multi-sectoral interaction. The role of international partnerships as a catalyst for the development of youth infrastructure and the strengthening of institutional resilience is clarified. Practical Implications: The findings may be used by public authorities and local communities in the development of strategic documents and youth development programs, as well as in the training of managerial personnel in the field of youth policy. Originality/Value: The novelty of the research lies in the systematization of post-war trends in the development of the youth sector and the identification of mechanisms for integrating best European practices into national youth policy. Research Limitations/Future Research: The study is analytical in nature and does not include empirical quantitative measurements of effectiveness. Future research should focus on the development of indicators for assessing cross-sectoral interaction, comparative analysis of regional models, and the study of long-term effects of international programs.
