Centre for Support and Development of Reforms

Established in 2007, Centre for Support and Development of Reforms promotes sustainable local development through information, consultation and educational activities. Its work includes organising training sessions, seminars, public forums and public hearings, supporting local sustainable development planning, and implementing initiatives to strengthen community capacity. The organisation works across various areas with civil society organisations, schools, businesses and local authorities. The organisation's activities may vary from year to year, depending on available funding and project opportunities. Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, local budget funding for activities implemented by NGOs has not been available to the organisation. As a result, the organisation currently rely primarily on grant-funded projects to finance the organisational activities. The absence of grant-funded projects during a particular period does not mean that the organisation is inactive. Team members have their own primary jobs and also contribute their time and skills on a voluntary basis to local community initiatives. This includes volunteering with the Youth Centre Khyzhka and the Dolyna Youth Council, where they support and conduct training sessions, workshops and other activities without receiving payment.
