Last year, 14 municipalities of the Zhytomyr oblast received Aid packages worth almost EUR 1,000,000 from U-LEAD. Vasyl Nevmerzhytskyi, Head of the Regional Office of U-LEAD in the Zhytomyr oblast, announced this today at the online Open Day.
“Our municipalities received emergency support packages “Shelter, Lighting” and “Repairs, Lighting”. These are sets of equipment and materials that contribute to effective work in wartime,” he said.
The packages went to the municipalities of Andrushivka, Hladkovychy, Ruzhyn, Korosten, Lyubar, Ovruch, Popilnia, Narodychi, Chudniv, Malyn, Chervone, Myropillia, Romaniv and Baranivka.
The Office team talked about their work in 2022 and plans for the following year. In particular, this year 8 municipalities will take part in “Steps for Specialists. Organising work with IDPs", 1 will receive support for developing an Outreach Plan for Communicating Changes, 6 will take part in the initiative “Planning and Programming 2023” and 2 will join the initiative “Municipality 4.0: Digital Sustainability Accelerator”.
Officials of the Ovruch and Radomyshl municipalities shared their cooperation experience with the Office team.
“The U-LEAD team are our partners who will always support us. We have a great history of cooperation, and this experience helps us receive new grants and find new development opportunities,” said Oksana Levkivska, official at the Ovruch City Council.
She also extended her gratitude for the support.
“Together with U-LEAD, I grew as a professional, from an employee in the department to the head of the Business Hub of the Radomyshl municipality. The training and opportunities provided by the team help us attract additional funds today,” Ms Levkivska added.
As reported earlier, the municipalities of the Chernihiv oblast received almost EUR 1 million in aid from U-LEAD in 2022.
