Mission

To make Ukraine the most defense-capable country in the region

About us

The CBA Initiatives Center is a non-governmental organization that contributes to strengthening Ukraine's security and defense sector. We conduct research on the security and veteran environment, develop effective solutions and advocate for their implementation in public policy. The CBA Initiatives Center is a new stage in the development of the NGO “Come Back Alive!”, which has been operating since 2018.

We apply our expertise not only to strengthen the Ukrainian army, but also to shape government policies, institutions, and communities in the security and defense sector.
