Das Projekt in Kürze
Hintergrund The ongoing conflict in Ukraine is severely impacting children, putting them at risk of displacement, violence, and rights violations. According to the Humanitarian Needs Response Plan (HNRP) 2025, 12.7 million people, including 1.9 million children (15%), urgently need humanitarian assistance. Many children face family separation, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. National civil society organisations, which provide child protection services, are overwhelmed by the conflict challenges. Staff members often experience stress and burnout and lack of rest. CSOs also frequently struggle to provide training and psychological support for their teams. In Phase 2, the project will continue integrating child protection and localisation priorities while offering customised capacity-building support to CSOs. It will enhance capacities of local NGOs, equipping humanitarian workers to respond appropriately to reports of GBV and abuse, and expand Mental Health and Psychosocial Support for children and families.
Ziele To increase mental health resilience and well-being of children and their families through support and strenthened capacities of local and national humanitarian actors.

By supporting 29 Ukrainian NGOs, the project helped them play larger roles in the humanitarian response. NGORC offered training in essential operational skills such as project planning, grant writing, and financial management, while also emphasising the importance of safeguarding beneficiaries and incorporating their feedback. NGORC also provided 11 capacity-strengthening grants to improve organisational structures and procedures, as well as support financial audits to ensure compliance with donor requirements.

The project also focused on mental health and psychosocial support, addressing the needs of children (1024 reached), parents (212 reached), educators (11 reached), and humanitarian workers (95 reached) through individual and group sessions. The activities improved mental health care quality and helped prevent professional burnout.
