The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER), with the support of the European Union, presented a new three-year project: “Resilience and Engagement for Ukraine: Strengthening Civil Society for Ukraine’s Recovery and Path to the EU” (REU).
The project aims to strengthen the resilience, inclusiveness, and analytical capacity of Ukrainian civil society amid the ongoing war and Ukraine’s parallel progress toward EU membership.
The REU project aims to support Ukraine’s vulnerable populations and communities living and working under the conditions of a prolonged war. Within the framework of the project, grant support and training for local CSOs (Civil Society Organizations) are planned to strengthen their capacity.
Furthermore, the project provides support for NGOs, media, and researchers to enhance their engagement in Ukraine’s EU accession process. The project’s geography spans both the national and regional levels, including a specific focus on frontline and rural communities. The total budget of the project is €1.5 million.
The project envisages four grant programs, competitions for which will be announced later and will be aimed at supporting projects for children, youth, and veterans, in particular in the areas of non-formal education, psychosocial support, skills development, and social integration, as well as other priority areas.
