Ukraine East Europe Foundation (EEF) - Building capacity of local CSOs to provide protection services to women and minorities

Projekt abgeschlossen

Women and minorities in Ukraine are more vulnerable to GBV due to the conflict, and at the same time the state's protection services are overwhelmed and understaffed. The goal is to strengthen the protection mechanisms by funding 15 women's rights and LGBTQI+ and Roma organisations, who will enhance the protection both at individual and systemic levels. East Europe Foundation will manage the grants and provide capacity building to make these organisations more sustainable.

Das Projekt in Kürze
Hintergrund Strong and resilient local capacity is essential for delivering quality services and sustaining the humanitarian response in Ukraine considering the scale of needs in the areas of protection. Local NGOs are very agile and have been playing a key role in the response from the very beginning, including well established feminist organisaitons who have pivoted to serve populations affected by the conflict. Yet they are often excluded from humanitarian funding, which is not suited to their small size, and because application procedures are complex.
Ziele Improved protection environment/reduced exposure through more protection services provided by local civil society organisations to vulnerable women and minorities.
Zielgruppen

Vulnerable conflict affected populations, in particular:

  • Ethnic groups (incl. Roma)
  • GBV survivors
  • Women and girls
  • Women and girls with disabilities
  • Older women
  • Widows and spouses with missing husband
  • Human trafficking victims
  • LGBTIQ+, sexual minorities
Mittelfristige Wirkungen
  1. Participating civil society organisations provide more protection services to vulnerable women and minorities
  2. Participating civil society organisations increase their capacity and access to funding so they can design, fundraise for, and implement their own strategies and programmes
  3. Other humanitarian funders use this model for channeling funding to local CSOs who provide protection services
Resultate

Erwartete Resultate:  

  1. Civil society organisations benefit from the Small Grants Program and offer increased types/coverage of services to affected population
  2. Vulnerable people, in particular women at risk of trafficking or GBV, receive better and more timely protection
  3. CSOs received recommendations on institutional development through an organizational capacity assessment
  4. Civil society organisations benefit from the capacity-building and implement organizational changes


Resultate von früheren Phasen:   All international humanitarian agencies agree that local civil society organisations are playing an essential role in protection work, in particular in the protection of vulnerable women, and especially as state services are overburdened. Yet according to the Protection Cluster, as of May 2022 only 1% of humanitarian funding for Ukraine goes directly to local CSOs. Other minorities, such as Roma or LGBTQI+ have CSOs dedicated to their support, but these have not been included for humanitarian financing.
