Since the full-scale russian invasion, Ukrainian civil society rights organizations have faced extraordinary challenges and workload. They keep providing a range of vital services and help to people who were affected by the war, particularly internally displaced people and other vulnerable people. Projects aimed at supporting internally displaced persons, developing psychological helplines, providing access to emergency shelters and improving living conditions at temporary shelters , and so on – all these activities require substantial financial and organizational resources.
To support the work of these organizations and increase the efficiency of the projects they currently implement, East Europe Foundation is starting the Capable and Resistant Project, with the financial support of Switzerland.
The project involves organisations, selected by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The participants work in various fields, in particular, their activities are aimed at combating gender-based violence and protecting women’s rights, supporting vulnerable groups, national minorities, as well as providing support to people affected by the full-scale invasion.
Within the Project, there will be two components: providing grants and increasing institutional capacity.
The grants will be directed towards:
At the same time, along with the grants component, each organization will undergo an organizational capacity assessment and receive a roadmap for development in order to increase its institutional capacity and provide support to sustainable implemention of its projects and initiatives. As part of the development program, organizations will also be offered a series of trainings and mentoring support in the field of financial management, project and team management, fundraising, work with volunteers, communications and other areas.
The Project will run from September 2022 to May 2023.
