STEP

We cooperate with communities, local governments and NGOs to achieve our Mission: to promote partnerships between different stakeholders at the local, regional and national levels to build a cultured, democratic, capable and human-oriented society.

STEP uses its expertise and raises grant funds to support Ukrainian territorial communities in their democratic, inclusive, human-oriented development. Our partners are both local NGOs with a strong demand to make their communities better and local governments that are motivated to transparent decision-making and citizen participation in development processes. We work in rural areas and small cities, which usually have less access to international funds and cooperation opportunities.

What we do:

Strengthen civil society and local democracy
Facilitate social dialogue at the local level
Support development projects and civic initiatives
