HISTORY

We are over one thousand graduates of the world’s leading universities who have returned and are working in Ukraine at leading international companies, NGOs, analytical centers, financial institutions, etc. Diplomas from Harvard University (USA), the London School of Economics (UK), INSEAD business school (France, Singapore), Columbia University (USA), the University of Chicago (USA), Georgetown University (USA), the College of Europe (Bruges, Belgium and Natolin, Poland), diplomas obtained under the EU Erasmus Mundus program, graduates of the Edmund S. Muskie Scholarship Program and many others, combined with work experience in an international environment will become a significant contribution to the successful work of the new Government of Ukraine.

At this historic moment of the most acute external threats and, simultaneously, renewal and revival of Ukraine, the Government of Ukraine faces significant challenges that will require systemic steps to reform state governance as a prerequisite for overcoming external threats, successfully countering corruption, and ensuring Ukraine’s economic prosperity.

We consider it appropriate to propose the following avenues for cooperation with the new Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine:

• Formation of new teams in ministries and agencies;
• Engagement as permanent advisors (both paid and unpaid);
• Conducting regular consultations and roundtables on urgent issues of sectoral policy development and ministry advancement.

We appeal to the Prime Minister of Ukraine and members of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to determine the personnel needs of each ministry as soon as possible.

We are ready to take on the coordination of specific proposals from Ministers regarding the personnel needs of each ministry. The proposals will be disseminated among all associations of graduates of leading foreign educational institutions in Ukraine. All resumes of candidates interested in the positions will be forwarded to the relevant ministries for final selection.

We emphasize the necessity of maximum transparency in this process and will publicly disclose the proposals received from the ministries and the selection results. In accordance with these indicators, we will evaluate the effectiveness of our cooperation.

We appeal to journalists and opinion leaders with a request to support our initiative and monitor it, providing platforms for its popularization and urging the Government to implement it.

For questions regarding cooperation, comments, and suggestions, please contact the initiative coordinator, Danylo Pasko, at the email address proukrgov@gmail.com. 

With respect and readiness for cooperation,
