SPRING 1998 INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY U.S.-UKRAINE FOUNDATION
The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation is a not-for-profit non-governmental
organization established in 1991 to facilitate democratic development and
encourage free market reform in Ukraine. In pursuing its mission, the
Foundation was one of the first non-profit organizations to establish a
permanent presence in Ukraine when it established the Pylyp Orlyk Institute
for Democracy (POID) in Kyiv. POID is a non-partisan public policy research
institute, providing information to Ukrainian policymakers, NGOs, academia
and the media on issues pertaining to the development of civil society.
The Foundation recently launched the U.S.-Ukraine Community Partnerships for
Local Government Training and Education Project (CPP). CPP is a three-year
USAID-funded program which will link 18 U.S. communities with 18 Ukrainian
communities to establish education and training programs in public
administration for local governments in Ukraine. The partnerships will focus
on issues related to budgeting, housing, transportation, economic
development and citizen participation.
Other Foundation programs include:
The Parliamentary Development Project (PDP), a recently extended USAID-
funded project aiming to create a research analytical capacity for the
Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament). PDP focuses on issues pertaining to
legislative-executive relations, legislative processes, and transparency and
committee structure at both the Verkhovna Rada and local government levels;
The Constitutional Court Project which strives to help spread awareness and
understanding of the new Constitution of Ukraine and the Constitutional
Court among all segments of the Ukrainian population;
The publication West: Window on Ukraine - a biweekly newsletter distributed
to over 1500 policy makers in Ukraine to give them feedback on how events in
Ukraine are received in D.C. and the U.S.; and
The Biblioteka Resource Center located at POID which houses over 1500
volumes on public policy, democratic governance, administration and market
economics.
