UNDP’s
presence in the countries of Eastern Europe is beneficial not
only because of long term isolation from the international community,
but also because UNDP can ensure that these countries can effectively
start a new chapter in their history on a human development oriented
platform. The countries that became independent with the breakup
of the Soviet Union in 1991 are currently undergoing a triple
transition: from Soviet republic to independent nation; from centralized
government to grassroots-based democracy; and from state-run economy
to free market economy. |

Ukraine is one of the countries facing such a challenge, and the
initial difficulties experienced by Ukraine has prompted UNDP
to play a role in its development, setting up office in Kyiv in
1992. In 1993, the First Country Cooperation Framework was launched.
Joint efforts of UNDP and the Ukrainian government and people
were directed to introduce and promote the main principles of
democratic governance at all levels, through support of administrative
reform and encouraging civil society to participate in the decision
making process. Programs on small and medium enterprises and development
of social assistance programs assisted economic development in
the country. UNDP also advocated the concept of sustainable development
as an essential policy, and emphasized the importance of developing
a network of NGOs in environmental areas.
