Olena Sushkova
Project Assistant Ukraine Programme
I work on projects related to Ukraine's European integration, social and economic transformations and recovery efforts. Our major flagship initiatives focus on capacity-building programmes and developing policy recommendations to strengthen civil society, promote resilient media and democracy, and preserve the cultural heritage of Ukraine.
My diverse professional experience spans research, project management and teaching, particularly in the public administration and taxation sectors. I have a doctoral and a master's degree in economics. I have collaborated with key Ukrainian state authorities, offering recommendations for economic policy reforms.
The challenges faced by the Ukrainian society today inspire me, highlighting the crucial need for collective efforts to realize Ukraine's vision of becoming a European nation with a robust democracy and well-developed human capital. This vision fuels my commitment to strengthening collaboration and supporting the institutional growth necessary for sustainable progress.
