About the Fund

The Maidan of Foreign Affairs is a public non-partisan non-government organization that serves as both an expert and a civil society platform.

The MFA mission is to shape Ukrainian foreign and national security policy based on values of democracy, human rights, international law and international cooperation.

As the leading national foreign policy forum, the MFA:

– offers an expert perspective on the key Ukrainian foreign and national security policy issues and interests;
– educates the public on the current and prospective Ukrainian foreign and national security policy problems;
– advocates and facilitates wide public debate on the Ukrainian foreign and national security policy issues;
– develops and stimulates mechanisms of public control over the shaping and implementation of the Ukrainian foreign and national security policies.

The Maidan of Foreign Affairs was created during the 2013-2014 Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity by the Ukrainian diplomats who openly dennounced the actions of the Yanukovych government and the change of Ukraine’s foreign policy vector.

The MFA team includes diplomats and experts who specialize in foreign policy, national security, economics and international studies.
