Eurasia Foundation has grown tremendously since the start of 2024. Just like the world we inhabit, our organization continues to change in both planned and surprising ways. But our mission—our heart—remains. Read my end-of-year reflections on our website. eurasia.org/2024-a-year-of-g…

What an incredible trip to a beautiful part of the world last month! I was honored to join the brilliant UKRAINETT+ team as they gathered in Bodo, Norway to discuss challenges and strategies in managing societal crises during the war.

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Chișinău for East Europe Foundation Moldova's 15-year anniversary! Rob O'Donovan and I were delighted to celebrate EEF's accomplishments and meet with long-time friends. I can't wait to see what EEF will achieve in the next 15 years!

Today marks two years since Russia's brutal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. That’s two years of incredible resolve and resourcefulness from the people of Ukraine and their unbroken spirit. My visit to Kyiv and Lviv in December was emotional and humbling.

She spends a lot of time praying. Ukrainians know that life will never be the same as it was before the war, but they are reimagining what Ukraine can and will be.

Eurasia Foundation Senior Director Hrach Topalyan and I just returned from a wonderful visit to Central Asia. We had the privilege of meeting with Uzbekistan's national Yuksalish movement (@YuksalishUZB) and Deputy Minister of Employment and Poverty Reduction Rano Turdiboeva.

I am both thrilled and humbled to announce that Eurasia Foundation is partnering with USAID and UK Dev to launch the Ukraine Digital Transformation Activity. This is a comprehensive, multi-faceted program dedicated to championing a free, prosperous, and independent Ukraine.
Eurasia Foundation's e-governance work in Ukraine is expanding! On December 19, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink unveiled the new Ukraine Digital Transformation Activity to build resilient digital systems for a secure, prosperous future. eurasia.org/eurasia-foundati…

USAID Admin. Power and Ukraine's Minister Fedorov visited one of the 1,400 families that have received support through eRecovery: an e-service allowing Ukrainians to apply for financial aid to repair their homes. I'm so proud of @project_TAPAS's part in developing this service!
Replying to @FedorovMykhailo
Big thanks to @project_TAPAS and @USAIDUkraine for assistance with development and implementation of the eRecovery service. Together we started digitalizing rebuilding in March 2022 with launching of the damage property report in Diia. More to come!

It was my great pleasure to meet with Ukraine's Ambassador Oksana Markarova. Eurasia Foundation takes immense pride in our partnership with Ukraine. It is a privilege to advance the future of e-governance alongside Ukraine's best and brightest minds.

A few years ago, Ukraine rolled out Diia, an app that allows Ukrainians to access government services from their smartphone. Our @project_TAPAS has helped develop many of those e-services. Today, Admin. Power announced that @USAID will support Diia's adoption in other countries.
