About us: Strengthening Ukrainian national security and territorial integrity
Canada was the first country to recognize Ukraine’s independence more than 30 years ago and this commitment to security, stability and sovereignty continues today. PROTECT supports institutions and agencies within the Ukrainian security and defence sector. Through deployment of Ukrainian and international experts as part of a robust planning and implementation framework, this project strengthens analytical approaches, builds results-based management techniques, and supports women, peace and security.

Defence Governance
Euro-Atlantic integration aspirations include fundamental defence sector transformations in Ukraine. Defence Governance Reform Initiative provides a holistic approach to harmonizing Ukrainian defence governance with those of NATO member states to facilitate effective decision-making in a manner that enables leaders to carry out their duties in a transparent, participatory manner that meets the expectations of the government and creates public confidence in a resilient, trusted, and effective defence organization. Defence Management Systems Review, legislation and democratic civilian control initiatives are only some of PROTECT’s immediate contributions to the good defence governance in Ukraine. Our aim is responsible defence governance – inclusive, responsive, transparent, and accountable with efficient procedures and strong civilian oversight. Defence governance portfolio work is conducted with consideration of the best and acknowledged methodologies and methods (RBM, GBA+, CBP).
ANP-NATO Reform Project
As Ukraine seeks to join NATO, the Annual National Program (ANP) – NATO Reform Initiative supports the Government of Ukraine to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate the policies and reforms required to meet the criteria for Ukraine’s accession to NATO. Through this Reform Initiative, PROTECT optimizes the strategic planning and implementation processes for the Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, ensuring citizens and Euro-Atlantic allies are informed of the progress and successes of reforms. PROTECT supported and institutionalized the integrated results-based management approach in the 2020-21 ANP editions, leading to a transition of the planning framework from an annual event to a five-year policy cycle.
Planning, Programming and Resource Management Reform Initiative
The collaboration between the PROTECT Program and the Ministry of Defence, General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and National Defence University of Ukraine has resulted in an enduring relationship of partnership on defence planning and resource management issues. Now that the strategic planning cycle is almost complete and the results of the Defence Management Systems Review are available, the defence planners in the Ministry of Defence and General Staff are ready to embark upon a formal Reform Initiative.
The PPRM portfolio is shaped to support the enhancement of strategic planning procedures, including forecasting and wargaming in support of the definition of capability requirement and force structure modelling. The establishment of a programming mechanism to connect planning and budgeting processes provides a holistic approach to capability resource requirements and prioritization, and the introduction of a program-based budgeting system.
