Kyiv American Center Program
The Kyiv American Center Program will provide all staffing, resource materials, technology infrastructure, technical support and key program activities to administer the Kyiv American Center in Ukraine, which is one of approximately 700 American Spaces supported by the Bureau of International Information
Programs (IIP) of the U. S. Department of State.
American Spaces exemplify the U. S. commitment to a core tenet of democracy:
the citizens right to free access to information.
The American Center in Kyiv will support the foundation of public diplomacy by creating a place for in-person engagement with Ukrainian audiences.
The Center will be a technology-forward, welcoming, and engaging environment where Embassy personnel, official visitors, and implementing partners connect with Ukrainians, especially young leaders and young professionals, to inspire dialogue on issues that matter most to U.S.-Ukraine relations.
The recipient organization will be responsible for staffing and operating a new stand-alone American Center in downtown Kyiv.
Key program activities under this cooperative agreement will include hiring local Ukrainian staff with expertise in program and event management to staff the center; purchasing all necessary technology, materials, and supplies to provide a basis for engagement with Ukrainian audiences; and designing a flexible and dynamic program of activities each month to interact with Ukrainian visitors to the center and encourage visitors to return regularly.
Decisions on staffing and program content will be made in consultation with the U. S. Embassy in Kyiv.
