Presentation of the study “Working Amid the War: The Reality of Civil Society Organizations in Frontline Areas”

Topics for discussion: 
– Challenges faced by CSOs in frontline areas;
– Recommendations for key stakeholders;
– Proposals for improving the situation of CSOs in frontline areas


Why is this important? 
Civil society organizations in frontline regions work daily amid constant shelling, evacuations, logistical challenges, staff shortages, and limited access to resources. Despite this, they are often the first to assist people, support communities, and respond to the humanitarian challenges of war.


The Ukrainian National Centre for Peace and Development (UNCPD) presents the results of a new study on the challenges faced by CSOs in Ukraine’s frontline regions: from Kharkiv and Sumy to Kherson and Donetsk.


The focus is on security risks, difficulties in accessing communities, funding issues, team mobility, office operations, humanitarian logistics, and interaction with government agencies and donors.
