The event brought together civil society representatives from across Ukraine who are engaged in localisation and humanitarian sector development, providing a professional platform to discuss current challenges and future perspectives.

The Help Localisation Programme is consistently implementing mechanisms for open and transparent selection of partners within the second round of grant support.
