ISAR Ednannia is launching a three-year initiative, Unity for Community Project (EU Unity4Community), with the support of the European Union, our strategic partner.
Despite the challenges of war and global uncertainty, Ukrainian civil society continues to evolve, inspire change, learn, and educate. It serves as a unifying force to achieve our ambitious goal, which has been pursued since 2013 on the streets and the frontlines: becoming an equal and influential partner within the European community of nations. This project offers civil society the opportunity to drive the transformative changes Ukraine needs to fulfill its aspirations of EU membership.
What does this mean in practice? The project will help communities unite to address common challenges, fostering trust between civil society, authorities, and residents. Real change begins when a community works together. It is about open dialogue and partnerships that pave the way for building a European Ukraine.
Opportunities offered by the project:
- Training: Participation in the comprehensive Recovery and Development Consultants program for 300 leaders from the civil sector and local authorities. This program will equip them with practical knowledge for effective community development.
- Grants: Support for research, reforms, monitoring initiatives, the creation of Unity Points within communities, and projects that implement European standards at the local level.
- Analytics: In-depth research and strategic solutions to help communities act effectively and achieve impactful results.
Together, we will create a platform for development where every voice matters and collective decisions form the foundation for Ukraine's European future.
