Request for Cooperation
Economic Transition Project
International Renaissance/Soros Foundation
Donetsk, Ukraine
*****************************************************************
I have received an inquiry from Donetsk, Ukraine about possible
cooperation on an economic transition project in Ukraine.
Mr. Vyacheslav Koval, Executive Director of the International
Renaissance Foundation/Soros Foundation in Donetsk, has informed
me that a group of specialists from universities and public
organizations in the Donetsk Region is currently developing a
project designed to (1) assist Ukraine, and particularly the
Donetsk Region, reform the economy and (2) train Ukrainian econo-
mists in the new economic system.
Mr. Koval would like to contact scholars and professionals who
might be interested in becoming partners in the project, and who
would be interested in sharing their ideas on economic reform and
economic training necessary to operate in the new circumstances.
The main purposes of the project are:
* the broadening of the outlook, knowledge and perception of
students and specialists who deal professionally with the prob-
lems of economic transition in Ukraine;
* assistance to representatives of the regional/local governments
to improve their understanding of the transitional process and
mechanisms for its implementation;
* personnel training for the management of necessary economic
reforms in Ukraine
The hope is that the "Economic Transition Project" will result in
a permanent school/seminar on the problems of creating a market
economy in Ukraine, and the integration of Ukraine with the
European Community.
Mr. Koval is currently drafting the project, and is interested in
working with foreign individuals/organizations experienced in
dealing with similar issues in other Eastern and Central European
countries. Thus, he would like to find organizations and people
interested in cooperating with him and sharing their ideas about
the project.
If members of the list want to know more about the Economic
Transition Project, review the proposal, provide input to the
proposal, and cooperate with the Foundation as partners, Mr.
Koval would be very pleased to provide more details.
Mr. Koval notes that there is an immediate opportunity to
participate in a TACIS ACE Program of joint research. To partici-
pate in the program he requires the cooperation of two institu-
tions which are in European Community countries. The deadline for
project submission is June 14, 1996.
