6 січня 2021

The Right to Protection, CF (R2P) is a charitable fund that strives for Ukraine to become a country where refugees, stateless, non-citizens and displaced persons enjoy dignity and protection.

Since the beginning of the conflict in the East of Ukraine R2P has been monitoring the protection situation of IDPs, providing legal assistance and strengthening humanitarian response in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhya regions.

In 2020 in the course of decentralization, the authority to provide social services to the population was started to transfer from the central level to the local, to territorial hromadas. This process is not easy and quick, and the hromadas face many questions and difficulties.

The Project aims to support and strengthen hromada capacities in Olhynska, Volnovaska, Myrneska, and Sartanska through targeted activities. To build the capacities of local authorities so that they are better able to provide quality and non-discriminatory essential services, while protecting the most vulnerable in the population, R2P will conduct trainings, provide legal counseling, and advocate for the provision of quality basic services in conflict affected areas, as well as will support the establishment of sustainable mobile and community level social service provision mechanisms.
