The Productivity Enhancement Program (PEP) mission is to facilitate the creation of a critical mass of successful production sites across Russia to increase the availability of affordable domestic products and services to Russian families. The mission includes empowering Russian citizens to transform their personal well being, their businesses and their local economies. Further, the mission includes inspiring American citizens to volunteer their business expertise, homes and energy to deliver personalized foreign assistance in their own businesses and communities.

PEP is based on a profound faith in the extraordinary capability of ordinary citizens and the transforming power of newly-communicated ideas. We hold the conviction that sharing technical expertise, business management and culture from personal,altruistic motives has far greater impact than delivering technical assistance for financial gain.

We, the PEP staff, dedicate ourselves to remember daily the spirit of our mission and the long-term impact our efforts will have in the businesses and personal lives of the Russians and Americans with whom we will work.
