Summary
Information about a UN funding mechanism, not an open call for organisations. The Ukraine Community Recovery Fund channels money through UN agencies into housing, energy, social infrastructure, demining and livelihoods; the page offers no application procedure for NGOs.
About the call
The Ukraine Community Recovery Fund is a flexible UN mechanism for community-level recovery in war-affected areas. Its priorities are housing reconstruction, energy, social infrastructure, humanitarian demining, livelihoods and local economic development, and strengthening local authorities' capacity.
The fund is hosted by the UN Resident Coordinator's Office on a multi-partner trust fund model with risk management and monitoring systems. Projects are implemented by UN agencies, which run recovery programmes worth over USD 1.7 billion in Ukraine.
The fund's page contains no open call, deadlines or procedure for funding NGOs directly. Opportunities for NGOs may only appear as separate calls by UN agencies, which should be checked on their official sites.
