Despite efforts by the Trump administration to scale back foreign aid and dismantle many of its programs globally, the contract is a multi-year initiative that began in May 2020 and is scheduled to run through March 2026. The program's stated purpose is to "strengthen the resilience of Ukraine's critical infrastructure from cyberattacks by establishing trusted collaboration between key cybersecurity stakeholders in the government, private sector, academia, and civil society." Contract records show the project had only received about $18 million before the conflict escalated in February 2022, with more than $100 million added afterward. The most recent $2 million allocation came in June, despite the Trump administration's efforts to scale back USAID funding. The contract record did not name the company carrying out the project, listing only "domestic awardees (undisclosed)." However, a separate USAID inspector general report linked the same contract to DAI Global. DAI Global is implementing the project, with funding primarily drawn from USAID accounts including "Assistance for Europe, Eurasia" and the "Economic Support Fund."
