Grant Competition from Sweden and UNDP in Ukraine

Objectives: The "Partnership for Recovery" grant program, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine and funded by the Government of Sweden via the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida), aims to stimulate innovative economic development while promoting gender equality amidst ongoing war challenges. This initiative supports intersectoral partnerships composed of a minimum of two organizations to foster inclusive local economic growth and gender equality. Key areas of focus include sustainable horticulture, farming, tourism, innovation to support micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, and ensuring market access. Additionally, the program seeks to economically empower both women and men, including internally displaced persons and veterans heavily impacted by war. Target regions for project implementation include Chernihiv, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Rivne, Sumy, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, Volyn, and Transcarpathian. This six-month initiative, focusing on integrating innovative solutions and sustainable practices, aspires to enhance local economic resilience and establish scalable models to influence national policies and the localization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) throughout Ukraine.
