UKRAINE: COMPETING IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
BIZPRO has been operating in Ukraine and Moldova since 2000 and 2001 respectively. In April 2005 BIZPRO began work in Belarus. The foundation of BIZPRO’s approach in Ukraine is presented in a unique analysis, Ukraine: Competing in the Global Economy – Strategies for Success (January 2005). A similar assessment has been completed for Moldova - Assessing Competitiveness in Moldova’s Economy (July 2004).
BIZPRO’s goal in Ukraine is to help enterprises compete in foreign and domestic markets by working at the enterprise, sector, and policy/legal level. In Belarus BIZPRO implements the CAP/CIPA accounting program and engages a local think tank to provide economic analysis designed to generate and inform public/private dialogue. BIZPRO contributes to the economic development of Moldova by providing assistance that improves the ability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to operate and compete in local and external markets.
Based on the Ukraine's competitiveness research, BIZPRO provides targeted assistance to develop the following competitive sectors in Ukraine:
BIZPRO works with a broad array of Ukrainian and international partners to provide assistance at the enterprise, sector, and national (policy/legal) level. BIZPRO helps to develop business linkages and improve industry-specific skills that enterprises require to grow. BIZPRO then disseminates the lessons from its work with specific enterprises to all enterprises operating in the sector through training, workshops, and seminars. At the same time, in order to create a competitive business environment BIZPRO works with sector stakeholders, both public and private, to help formulate and implement balanced and predictable laws and regulations that improve the business environment for Ukrainian and foreign investors. On a cross-sector basis, BIZPRO also addresses issues related to science, technology, innovation, quality assurance, and market channels.
Ukraine has the potential to compete successfully in the global economy but the private and public sectors must take concrete actions to make this opportunity a reality. BIZPRO helps in very specific, interrelated ways.
