The grant programme aims to support innovative economic development and promote gender equality in the context of full-scale war. Cross-sectoral partnerships — at least two organisations that jointly submit an initiative — will be able to receive funding.
Priority is given to projects that develop an inclusive local economy: in particular, support for horticulture, farming, tourism, small business innovation, as well as initiatives aimed at economic empowerment of women, men, internally displaced persons, veterans, and other war-affected people.
The initiatives must be implemented in one of the following regions: Chernihiv, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Rivne, Sumy, Ternopil, Vinnytsya, Volyn and Zakarpattya regions.
Non-governmental organisations in cooperation with representatives of local authorities, businesses, educational institutions or SMEs are invited to apply.
Applications are accepted until 15 June 2025. Project proposals should be sent to grants.rdp.ua@undp.org with the subject line ‘Name of the organisation_Partnership for Recovery’.
