In response to the war in Ukraine, on the 8th of April 2022, our Project launched a call for Ukrainian civil society organisations and activists to propose initiatives which could respond to the diverse needs triggered by the war. Support was made available as ad-hoc support for civil society projects, fellowships as well as referrals to other organisations.
Through our ad-hoc mechanism we directly supported 14 initiatives, covering a wide range of topics; as well as 13 smaller scale initiatives were supported through the EaP Civil Society Fellowship programme.
