The project addresses exclusion of people with disabilities, children with special needs and internally displaced families in war-affected Mykolaiv. Danish People’s Aid and Rokada, a long-standing Ukrainian CSO, will drive both practical and systemic change. Ten public institutions will be upgraded with accessible infrastructure, inclusive spaces and trained staff, while lessons serve as models for replication. Rokada’s Mykolaiv branch will be reinforced with stronger systems, staff resilience, safety measures, MEL capacity and the ability to link service delivery with structured advocacy. At governance level, the project will revitalize ten Barrier-Free Councils - introduced under national commitments but lacking influence - empowering them as platforms for rights holders and CSOs to engage with authorities, advocate, influence budgets, enforce standards and strengthen accountability. The change will be sustainable access, stronger civil society leadership and systemic reforms.
