Tony Blair Institute

The Tony Blair Institute (TBI) support leaders on strategy, policy and delivery, unlocking the power of technology across all three. TBI can do this work around the world because of the generosity of philanthropists and donors who believe in our mission and values. Working shoulder to shoulder with political leaders and governments, TBI provides support at every step of the transformation journey to drive real and lasting change. The greatest opportunity for governments today is the technological revolution. Across all TBI work, TBI helps leaders unlock the power of technology to create real change for their people.

In the Skills Alliance for Ukraine, TBI is represented with one project:

• TBI is supporting the Ministry of Economy in developing and implementing a comprehensive “Human Capital Strategy” through an 18-month initiative focused on resolving Ukraine’s labour paradox – high unemployment yet persistent shortages – via strategic upskilling, policy reforms, and digital innovation. Ukraine’s labour market is caught in a troubling paradox: widespread unemployment coexists with critical labour shortages, stifling business growth, slowing the country’s economic recovery, and weakening its ability to defend against ongoing aggression. Yet, we see a path forward. By modernizing labour legislation, implementing mass reskilling initiatives, and providing relocation support, Ukraine could add nearly four million people to its active workforce, most of whom are already in the country. Despite significant investments, current reskilling efforts have not yielded the desired impact.

• TBI can help identify the communications strategies, policy adjustments, and digital tools that will enhance these training programs, ultimately expanding the workforce and strengthening Ukraine’s resilience.
