Project 1 Counterpart Service Centers
Counterpart Service Centers act as clearinghouses for technical and humanitarian assistance requests from individuals and organizations in the Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. They work closely with USAID missions, local governments and private sector leaders to
coordinate technical assistance and training programs. The Centers facilitate partnerships between US
humanitarian agencies and development organizations and local nongovernmental organizations. They also offer electronic information, communications and research services to participating organizations.
Project 2 Volunteer Executive Service Teams (VEST) Counterpart staff lead high level delegations on
official visits to emerging nations. Participants include US foundations, PVOs, associations, and US State Department representatives who are chosen based upon their expertise in priority sectors identified by the host country. VEST was created as a "rapid
response" mechanism to foster partnerships between US and foreign NGOs. Trip reports and sectoral technical assistance recommendations are published and

Project 1 Arts and Environment
ECOLOGIA has sponsored several environmental film festivals, in which CIS filmmakers and environmentalists traveled to the US to show their documentaries on such disasters as the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident and the shrinking of the Aral Sea. The filmmakers discussed ecological problems and their use of the arts in creating public awareness. ECOLOGIA is exploring the possibility of a documentary film that would compare the experience of residents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, both of whom experienced nuclear accidents.
Project 2 Children's Environmental Program
ECOLOGIA arranged for 57 Ukrainian children to visit the US for 100 days in 1993, thereby temporarily escaping the radiation released in the 1986 Chernobyl reactor accident. The children used music and poetry to focus public attention upon unsolved health and
contamination problems associated with the Chernobyl accident. They helped Americans to understand the global implications of more that 80 Soviet built
reactors still operating in CEE/CIS. Radiation
monitoring equipment were supplied to school children in the Byransk region of western Russia. ECOLOGIA expects to replicate this program in 1994.
ECOLOGIA is establishing a citizens'
environmental-monitoring network in CEE, the Baltics, and at the Aral Sea. ECOLOGIA empowers nongovernmental organizations by providing training and pollution-monitoring equipment that enables them to gather accurate information on local and regional environmental problems. This process is helping to end a long and deadly tradition of government monopolization of information on chemical and radiation problems.
Project 4 Conferences for Grassroots Leaders
In April 1990, ECOLOGIA organized the Soviet-American Earth Day
Conference, involving two weeks of workshops in the US for twenty
environmental leaders from the CIS and the Baltics. In August
1991, ECOLOGIA organized its 2nd International Grassroots
conference, entitled "Green Politics in the USSR and Eastern
Europe: The Challenge of Electoral Success." This conference
included leaders from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Estonia,
Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
Project 5 ECOLOGIA Newsletter The Newsletter is a bimonthly publication in English, Russian and Lithuanian mailed free to subscribers in CEE/NIS who do not have easy access to convertible currencies. It is also provided to subscribers in the US and to all ECOLOGIA members. The Newsletter is one method of answering information requests for many readers in the more isolated, smaller towns and cities of NIS, especially for those who may not have access to academic libraries and international conferences. In many cases, the Newsletter is their only continual communication with the West.
Project 6 Information Exchange ECOLOGIA promotes the regular and free exchange of practical information on solving environmental problems at the local level. Grassroots environmental groups from Budapest to Vladivostok send requests for scientific, technical, legal, and citizen action materials appropriate to their unique local conditions and needs. ECOLOGIA is presently developing methods of providing access to information in on-line environmental computer databases for colleges in CEE/NIS. A pilot project conducted with the Sacred Earth Network is establishing satellite information offices in Vilnius, Minsk, Kiev, and Kishinev.
Project 7 Support for Paper Recycling in the CIS Two grants to ECOLOGIA are funding research into the possibility of constructing an ecologically sound paper recycling factory in NIS that would supply environmental organizations with their own supply of recycled paper, also increasing their ability to publish information and to communicate with the public.

Gen Purp The Esalen Institute, founded in the early 1960's, is
dedicated to the exploration of human potential. Esalen began its work in the former USSR in 1980 at a time of growing East-West antagonism, discreetly bringing selected Soviets and Americans together to explore divisive issues and to work on projects of
common concern.
NIS Role Esalen's Russian-American Exchange Center (initiated as
the Soviet-American Exchange Center) has sponsored several hundred citizen-to-citizen exchanges between Soviet/Russian and American Groups and individuals. The meetings have led to deep friendships and innovative working relationships, and have included such fields as psycholoneuroimmunology, ethnic conflict resolution, and entrepreneurship in the developing market economy. The Exchange Center acts as a catalyst for new possibilities rather than specializing in any one field or discipline.

Project 1 Ethnic Conflict Resolution
The underlying assumption of this project is that traditional political and diplomatic methods of peacemaking often fail in longstanding ethnic and sectarian conflict. A primary goal of this project is to identify the political and psychological preconditions of a nonviolent pluralistic democracy by examining the unhealed wounds and the distortions of the polity that resulted from Stalinism. The project will focus on the problems of resolving ethnic conflict and confronting anti-Semitism. Ethnic conflict in the US will also be examined.

Project 1 Free Society Project
This program provides the people of the former-Soviet Union and Eastern Europe with the opportunity to see the best Western documentaries in the fields of human rights, rule of law, history, democracy, and free enterprise. Freedom House and Ostankino State Radio & Television have concluded a wide-ranging agreement to provide Ostankino, the largest television station in NIS, with an audience of over 240 million viewers, with such documentaries for public viewing.

Project 4 Sakharov Archives
Freedom House has received a grant to convert Dr. Andrei Sakharov's apartment in Moscow into the Sakharov Archives, which will house his personal correspondence, hand-written manuscripts, photos and other items. The Archives will be open to the public, so that students, scholars and other visitors from all parts of the world can study first-hand Dr. Sakharov's work and legacy.

Project 1 Dairy Management Training Program
The program trains young dairy farm and agribusiness managers in NIS. The year-long training program consists of two semesters of intensive, hands-on training at Vermont Technical College, followed by internships on American farms and agribusiness companies. The curriculum introduces trainees to the latest US dairy industry technologies, but the emphasis is on the modern business management techniques necessary for survival in a free market. All instruction and written course materials are in Russian.
Project 2 Intensive Agribusiness Training
To meet the needs of senior managers who cannot attend longer courses in the US, Geonomics designed short courses (from two to four weeks) that provide visiting managers with direct exposure to US companies and a first-hand view of organizational structures and management techniques. Programs are designed to provide maximum contact between US managers and NIS visitors. Courses are conducted entirely in the language of the participants.

Project 1 Education Training and Technical Assistance Cntrs
In four NIS Republics, the program intends to establish education training and technical assistance centers to build democratic institutions. Drawing upon GWU resources analyses of the republics, a small group of democratically committed individuals will be identified and trained in the practice of organizational development. Once training is completed, participants will announce the establishment of their own educational center, which will help all nongovernmental, nonprofit, voluntary associations that meet two criteria: commitment to peaceful action and adherence to values of political democracy.
Project 2 Program on Transitions to Democracy in NIS Reps
In four NIS republics, the Program on Transitions to Democracy plans to establish a small group linked to a university or research institute which would produce objective analysis on progress and problems in the institutional transition from communism. These groups would combine research, publication, public fora and international cooperation and make their analytic work directly available to the policy leadership, media and citizens' groups.

Project 1 CIS Security Dialogue
Workshops, alternating between Washington, DC, and Moscow, bring together legislators of the republics, members of the US Congress, and US security experts to discuss pressing issues of international security and to expose NIS legislators to more democratic processes of oversight of security institutions and decisions. The intention of this project has been to help the Russian legislators develop their capability for oversight of defense policy.

Global Outlook conducts a series of meetings alternating between Washington, DC and Moscow. Each meeting concentrates on a particular issue where legislative oversight of public policy is important to both countries. Global Outlook has held conferences on legislative mechanisms to insure the arms control treaty compliance of government and to promote the resolution of disputes regarding treaty compliance and legislative oversight of conventional arms sales.
