Civil society organizations were the first to respond to the crises caused by the full-scale Russian invasion, providing life-saving assistance to affected communities and advocating for their interests. Despite all the difficulties, they have remained resilient, flexible, and committed to people in need. 

UNDP, together with its partners, is actively working with civil society organizations to increase the country’s resilience and further recovery. Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, the EU-funded project "EU4Dialogue: Support to Conflict Transformation in the South Caucasus and the Republic of Moldova" was adjusted to address the most urgent needs of war-affected Ukrainian communities. The projects of the civil society organizations featured in this collection were supported under this programme.
