Program: Digital Transformation Activity
Title: Strategic Advisor
Job Type: Consultancy
Location: Kyiv, Ukraine (hybrid)
Date Posted: March 19, 2024
Application Deadline: March 29, 2024 (6pm Kyiv time)

Summary

Eurasia Foundation (EF), the implementer of the Digital Transformation Activity (DTA), is recruiting a highly qualified Strategic Advisor. The Advisor will assist EF management foster a consistent and coherent approach for the portfolio of eGovernance reforms supported by DTA. In addition, the Advisor will work closely with the DTA senior management team to articulate the overarching vision for how DTA works with its beneficiaries to design and deliver public sector reforms.

Background

On December 19, 2024, Eurasia Foundation launched the Digital Transformation Activity (DTA), a five-year, $150 million eGovernance program supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and UK International Development (UK Dev). DTA is dedicated to enhancing Ukraine’s digital capabilities and building resilient systems for a secure, prosperous future. DTA will bolster the digital transformation of Ukraine to promote three core objectives: economic revitalization, transparency in reconstruction, and democratic governance during the ongoing war and beyond.

DTA is the successor program to the Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services (TAPAS) Activity, a flagship initiative supporting eGovernance reform in Ukraine. Through TAPAS, over 20 successful digital transformation initiatives were implemented, introducing modern digital solutions to both central ministries and regional authorities across Ukraine. These initiatives include Diia, the eConstruction system, the eRecovery Program, Prozorro, the Open Data Portal and many others. EF implements the TAPAS Activity with financial support from USAID and UK Dev.

To drive economic revitalization, DTA champions investments in digital economic infrastructure. The program will help to simplify and digitize export-related processes, support small- and medium-size enterprise development, and foster a favorable business environment in Ukraine.

To ensure transparent reconstruction of wartime and post-war Ukraine, DTA promotes the digital management of recovery and reconstruction projects. The program will strengthen the eProcurement ecosystem to enhance oversight of funds and ensure fairness and accountability.

To foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and democratic governance, DTA enhances the availability and usability of open data in anti-corruption efforts. DTA will support the Diia ecosystem to speed the roll-out of new eServices for both people and businesses. The program will also improve digital literacy, ensure equitable access, and foster civic engagement in the digital transformation process.

Importantly, these reforms align closely with the policy agenda and needs of the Government of Ukraine, ensuring their relevance and effectiveness in addressing the nation’s pressing challenges. These holistic reforms aim to cultivate an inclusive, transparent, and efficient digital ecosystem, catalyze economic growth, improve administrative efficiency, and cultivate stronger citizen-government relations throughout Ukraine’s transformative journey.

DTA will be delivered by a skilled consortium led by EF and comprised of the Better Regulation Delivery Office, East Europe Foundation, the Institute of Analytics and Advocacy, the Kyiv School of Economics, Open Contracting Partnership, Social Boost, Transparency International Ukraine, and Women in Digital Transformation. Each of these partners will be engaged in different reforms, with a particular focus on their priority areas of direction. Meanwhile, EF bears the responsibility of ensuring the coherence of these reform support efforts, ensuring they collectively contribute to Ukraine’s trajectory toward democratic development and transparent post-war recovery.
