Mercy Corps is powered by the belief that a better world is possible. To do this, we know our teams do their best work when they are diverse, and every team member feels that they belong. We welcome diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skills so that we can be stronger and have a long-term impact.
Ukraine has been at war since February 2022, and civilians continue suffering from air attacks on infrastructure, challenging economic situations, and their personal challenges as leaving everything behind and moving to safer places. Thus, the strategy of Mercy Corps Ukraine focuses on economic opportunities
for war-affected Ukrainians and establishing peace and good governance. Mercy Corps supports conflict-affected populations with swift and sustained humanitarian assistance and community-driven investments that strengthen local partnerships, promote economic resilience and
innovation, and build a more just and inclusive society.
The Program Summary
Providing emergency support in Ukraine from 2015 to 2017, Mercy Corps restarted programs in Ukraine in 2022 in the wake of the current crisis and provides both humanitarian and early recovery assistance to conflict affected populations.
Partnerships are central to our mission and vision in the Ukraine response and are an integral part of our program strategy. We work with partners because we believe that by collaborating, we achieve more. By joining forces, we create a greater impact, enhance cost-effectiveness, foster inclusivity, and develop sustainable programs and support the Ukraine localization agenda. Localization is all about an intentional shift of power – from international to national leadership. It’s about supporting and strengthening local capacity and ownership.
Mercy Corps Ukraine has created an Innovation and Inclusion Fund for Ukraine. The goal of this Fund is to identify and support innovations that have the potential to significantly improve the lives of Ukrainian people. The Fund seeks innovations that demonstrate strong social impact, offer more effective solutions to specific social or development issues, and align with Mercy Corps Ukraine’s strategy, namely in the areas of environment, agriculture, economic development and humanitarian assistance.
The Fund is divided into two key components:
Innovation: Focusing on supporting projects that introduce novel ideas, technologies, collaborations, processes or business models with the potential to create significant social impact. It aims to foster creativity and encourage the development of groundbreaking solutions to address pressing challenges.
Inclusion: Dedicated to initiatives that promote inclusivity and ensure that marginalized or underserved groups are actively involved and benefited. It supports proposals that address issues of equity, accessibility, and social justice, ensuring that innovation reaches all segments of the Ukraine population.
These are not mutually exclusive, as it is recognized that there could be intersectionality between the two fund components of the fund.
Breakthrough solutions to humanitarian and development challenges are being sought, with the development of new partnerships formed between Mercy Corps Ukraine and partners such as, but not mutually exclusive:
