DAI Global LLC (DAI) implements the USAID-funded Economic Resilience Activity (USAID ERA), a five-year program (2018-2023), which supports the development of a more resilient, inclusive, growth-oriented economy in eastern Ukraine by strengthening both market systems and social networks.

Interventions under the USAID ERA contribute to the economic stabilization of the region by supporting vulnerable populations’ participation in the economy and providing relevant resources and training to improve human capital.
