CASE Ukraine provides analytical and expert support to government and parliamentary institutions. Among their partners are the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Finance, State Property Fund, State Tax Administration, the National Bank of Ukraine and other state institutions. They closely cooperate with international organizations such as the World Bank, United Nations Development Program (UNDP), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), World Economic Forum, etc.
One of the major projects undertaken by CASE Ukraine is the eight-year-long field work for the "Global Competitiveness Report" prepared by the World Economic Forum.
