Helvetas follows a multi-stakeholder approach, working closely with civil society, governments, and the private sector to maximize the impact of its initiatives. This collaborative framework allows Helvetas to address global challenges by supporting local projects, offering expert advice, and advocating for policies that benefit vulnerable populations.
Irina Paliashvili, Acting President of USUBC, commented on the importance of the partnership: "Helvetas' expertise in working with diverse stakeholders across the globe is invaluable in helping Ukraine build resilient infrastructure, improve governance, and support local communities. We look forward to closely collaborating with Helvetas in creating meaningful and lasting change in Ukraine’s recovery and growth efforts".
Through this partnership, Helvetas will continue to drive meaningful change in Ukraine, reinforcing their global mission to tackle challenges at various levels and empower people to transform their lives.
