On 21 August, the British Embassy Kyiv today launched its £4.3 million UK-UA: Reform Assistance programme to support economic reform and political stability in Ukraine. The programme will be delivered over two years (2014-2016).

Speaking at a launch event, Martin Day, Chargé d’Affaires, said:

The UK-UA: Reform Assistance programme is here to provide rapid response to the specific needs of the Ukrainian government, civil society and business community working together on an ambitious and much-needed reform agenda. We hope that the programme will help make progress across a broad range of areas, from governance, economy and transparency to donor coordination and protection of the poorest.
