To ensure education in Ukraine, provide flexible funding to grassroots groups
Amid the war in Ukraine, grassroots groups are the best placed to address all aspects of access to education and ensure children can continue learning. When supported with flexible funding – funding that isn’t restricted to a particular program, but that instead allows grantees to determine the best use of their resources – grassroots groups can respond quickly to changes in wartime conditions. This includes finding solutions and creating new models to ensure their programs meet the evolving needs of children and youth. They have a deep-seated understanding of their own communities and the challenges facing children, as well as culturally relevant strategies that can help children and young people re-focus on education.
