Going ‘glocal’ with governance

Launched in spring 2010, East Europe Foundation Moldova is the most recent addition to the Eurasia Foundation network. Since 2004, Eurasia Foundation has transformed five of its field offices in the former Soviet Union into independent local foundations, combining local knowledge, leadership and legitimacy with a global mindset and internationally recognized best practices. The vision of an enduring, diversely funded network of institutions has prompted Eurasia Foundation to pay close attention to an element of institution-building that is often overlooked: foundation boards.
