Ukraine

Since 1998, the DRA engages itself for a Ukrainian civil society, integrated in a wide-opened Eastern European space. Following the events of 2014, we have strengthened our work: it now aims to sustain Ukrainian civil society to overcome the consequences of the war in Donbas and to monitor violations of human rights in Eastern Ukraine. The second main issue in our action is to carry an active support toward governmental and non-governmental organizations in their will to reform countries’ structures and promote a civic society. Civic participation and education are here two important key words. Some programs, performed in featuring with local organizations, have their own Websites on which you will be able to inform yourself in detail.
