To support such civil society organisations, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in partnership with ISAR Ednannia, is implementing a comprehensive institutional development programme — the Civil Society Organisations Fund (CSO Fund).
🎯 Its goal is to strengthen the capacity of local organisations so they can respond more effectively to the specific needs of their communities and become drivers of their recovery.
Through the CSO Fund, these organisations will receive financial support, as well as comprehensive guidance and accompaniment: an assessment of their organisational capacity, individual development plans, and mentoring support from ISAR Ednannia.
📣 Today, we are pleased to introduce the first participants of the CSO Fund.
The first cohort of the comprehensive institutional development programme includes 10 organisations from four communities across Ukraine.
Participating organisations:
📍 From Konotop, Sumy Region:
NGO “Youth Organization ‘DiieMolod’”
NGO “Interregional Institute for Community Development”
NGO “IKIGAI Fishing Club”
NGO “New Time”
📍 From Nizhyn, Chernihiv Region:
NGO “EcoArtPlatform”
NGO “Laboratory of Youth Initiatives”
📍 From Kropyvnytskyi and Oleksandriia, Kirovohrad Region:

We congratulate the first participants and look forward to starting our joint work.
In total, as part of the CSO Fund, comprehensive support will be provided to 60 local civil society organisations from 27 communities across Ukraine. The programme is designed not only to provide organisations with new knowledge and support, but also to help them implement meaningful changes in their work.
The CSO Fund is implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in partnership with ISAR Ednannia, with financial support from the Government of Canada and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through KfW Development Bank.
