CRDF Global Chosen to Support Justice Sector Reform Program in Ukraine

CRDF Global has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) to support law enforcement and criminal justice sector reforms in Ukraine by providing programmatic, logistical, and administrative assistance. Under the two-year contract valued at $9.9M, CRDF Global will facilitate the travel and training of up to 30,000 participants of INL’s Ukraine Law Enforcement and Justice Sector Reform program per year, designed to building capacity and support Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration goals.

“CRDF Global has operated, uninterrupted, in Ukraine for the past 27 years, and our Kyiv-based Europe & Eurasia team has established a proven track record for delivering excellent logistical support for complex and sensitive events, on behalf of the State Department and other USG clients in Ukraine and around the world,” said Dabren Wills, who serves as Vice President of International Development for CRDF Global. “We’re honored to extend that support to the unique work of the INL Bureau and help advance Ukraine’s strategy for capacity building, justice sector reform, and ultimately accession into the European Union.”

“This contract perfectly matches our deep relationships with government stakeholders within Ukraine and specialized experience with the dynamic logistics involved with this type of mission,” said Mykhailo Verych, Director of CRDF Global’s Europe & Eurasia Hub. “Our team is capable, prepared, and deeply committed to supporting the INL Bureau and the local stakeholders who will travel, undergo training, and then implement the goals of this program.”
