Consultancy: Elaboration of a BMZ Project Proposal – 02/2020 – 05/2020
Caritas Ukraine has been implementing Child & Youth Work as well as Home Based Care for many years in the country, many of these activities have been funded by BMZ. Since the armed conflict broke out in Eastern Ukraine in 2014 Caritas Ukraine is additionally supporting IDPs and host communities not only with the mentioned services, but also with additional social and psycho-social councelling sessions and group sessions. Taking advantage of the on-going national decentralisation reform, I supported Caritas Ukraine in Kyiv with the elaboration of a proposal (BMZ title of transitional aid) aiming to render the existing Caritas social services sustainable in the long run. Sectors targeted by the project are: good governance, Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), psycho-social support, social services, capacity building & organisational development.
