Yuliia Novobranets, Director of Fundraising and Partnerships at the R2P
Local organisations have a deeper understanding of the needs in real-time because we are in constant contact with the beneficiaries, work in the hromadas where we live, and speak the same language with the authorities and the population. In the localisation process, national and local NGOs are the ones who are localised when donors have the political will to do so. In local leadership, through active advocacy and protection of common interests on global platforms, taking the initiative and responsibility, we fight for the right to be included in decision-making processes.
