On 5 December, European Union Ambassador to Ukraine Katarina Mathernová announced two major support programmes for Ukraine, together worth €25 million.
Of this, €15 million will support the capacity of small NGOs in communities across Ukraine for the next three years. An additional €10 million will support civil society work on EU integration.
Katarina Mathernová made her announcement at the opening of ‘(we)STAND’, the XIII Civil Society Development Forum organised by Ukrainian NGO ISAR Ednannia, a partner of the EU Delegation to Ukraine.
“Ukraine’s civil society is not only a pillar of democracy but also a source of unbelievable strength and resilience in the face of Russia’s brutal aggression,” EU Ambassador Mathernová said. “Volunteering lies at the heart of civil society in Ukraine. I am proud that, with EU funding, smaller local organisations will continue their critical work for Ukraine’s Victory and our shared European future.”
In a post on Facebook, the EU Delegation to Ukraine also said that since the start of the Russian full-scale war against Ukraine, the EU has tripled its annual funding for Ukrainian civil society organisations – from €20 million to €60 million.
