UNHCR's Grant Programme for Refugees Announced (Only for Foreigners or Stateless Persons)

April 8, 2024

Dear candidates!

R2P announces the launch of the Livelihoods Grants Program supported by UNHCR. It provides a self-reliance business grant or a vocational/re-qualification training grant.

To apply, please fill out a corresponding Google form, either Business-grant: http://surl.li/sjohy or Vocational Training: http://surl.li/sjoih, and submit it within four calendar weeks from the announcement date, namely, by Wednesday, 8 May.

To apply for a grant, you should comply with all the following criteria:

  •  be a refugee, asylum seeker, or complementary protection holder in Ukraine;
  • be eligible for UNHCR assistance;
  • live in the territory of Ukraine, particularly in Kharkiv and Kharkivska oblast or Lviv and Lvivska oblast. If you reside in other oblasts of the country, you need to enquire about the corresponding program of other UNHCR partners;
  • have a business idea or a training plan.

The approximate amount of the vocational training grant is 3,000 USD, and the business grant is 5,000 USD. You should prove the sum with the necessary equipment/facilities or training service.

NOTE: The selection of grant beneficiaries is not based on the vulnerability of the beneficiary but on the validity and sustainability of their business idea or justification of the necessity to obtain vocational training. 

Good luck! We are looking forward to receiving your pre-applications.

If you have any questions, please contact R2P by phone: +38 063 023 22 84.
