SYLA Project Partners Agree on Joint Actions to Strengthen Community Support

A recent meeting of SYLA project partners and representatives of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations was held in Kyiv to discuss joint actions aimed at strengthening community capacity in emergency preparedness and early response.

The SYLA project, funded by the European Union, unites the efforts of the Ukrainian Red Cross, the German Red Cross, the Danish Red Cross, Acted and IMPACT to work hand in hand with communities to help save lives, prepare for emergencies, and recover swiftly to return to normal life. It is being carried out in the Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Sumy and Zaporizhzhia regions.

During the meeting, participants reviewed the project’s progress and challenges, discussed the findings of a recent field mission, and exchanged views on the security situation in the regions where the project is being implemented. They also discussed coordination mechanisms and agreed on the next steps to enhance cooperation and effectiveness on the ground.

Through joint efforts, the partners are better able to respond to the challenges of the ongoing war and provide meaningful support to affected communities across Ukraine.
