The Ukrainian Leadership Academy implements programs for young Ukrainians and creates a lasting impact with the generous support of organizations, companies, and people who share our mission and values. We strive to unite young Ukrainians from all regions and give them the best training, tools for development, a deep understanding of their own national identity to accelerate Ukraine’s transformation.

FOUNDING PARTNER

The Academy was established and scaled with the support of the Western NIS Enterprise Fund (WNISEF), which has over 25 years of successful experience investing in small and medium-sized companies. WNISEF was funded by the U.S. government via the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Since its inception, WNISEF’s cumulative investments totaled over $186 million to 130 companies employing around 26,000 people and made it possible to unlock $1.85 billion for companies in Ukraine and Moldova. In 2015 WNISEF launched a $35 million legacy program focused on export promotion, local economic development, impact investing, and economic leadership. WNISEF provides scholarships to students, supports ULA development and partnership building.
