Ukraine is continuing its ambitious effort to reform its institutions to bring transparency to governance, reduce corruption, enhance democracy, and grow its economy while pursuing greater integration with Western institutions.

Alumni of U. S. government-sponsored professional and academic exchanges have made significant contributions to this effort by sharing skills and best practices acquired during their U. S. exchange experience with colleagues and communities across Ukraine.

With funding support from the Alumni Small Grants Program, the U. S. government seeks to support alumni initiatives.
