Project summary:
Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, Ukraine has faced severe threats to human security, with significant loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, and massive population displacement. The project's primary objective is to promote transformational recovery and human security in Ukraine by addressing interconnected threats. Its focus is on restoring critical infrastructure, expanding mine action and victim assistance, clearing debris for reconstruction, revitalizing local economies, strengthening government recovery coordination, and enhancing access to justice and human rights. By promoting protection, empowerment, and solidarity, the project aims to create conditions that ensure safety, meeting basic needs, and providing dignity for all.
