Region: Eastern Europe and Central Asia
Country: Ukraine
Solutions: Economic Growth
Even before the onset of regional instability, eastern Ukraine was saddled with lagging industries.

The program works to diversify the region’s industries and improve its integration with the rest of the country, while also helping residents to gain locally needed job skills.
