Promotion of social infrastructure (USIF V, Phase 2)

completed

This programme represents the second phase of an urgent project in accordance with point 47 of the FZ/TZ guidelines. It aims to support IDP children and young people in the capital Kiev and the western Ukrainian metropolis of Lviv. The project focuses on increasing the number of kindergarten places in Kiev. These have always been in short supply in Kiev, but this has been exacerbated by the arrival of large numbers of IDPs with small children. This represents a significant source of conflict between the indigenous population and IDPs, which the project aims to counteract. In addition, the project in Lviv aims to support the establishment of a home to accommodate IDP children or young IDPs who, for various reasons, cannot live with their families or who have fled alone. In total, the project included 46 individual measures. The implementing organisation of the project is the Ukrainian Social Investment Fund (USIF), and the target group is the residents of Kiev and Lviv.
