Ukraine war: OPD led disability inclusive response and recovery (Phase 1)

This one year project - funded by CBM - aims to provide support to persons with disabilities in Ukraine and in neighboring and nearby countries who have been impacted by the Ukraine war

As declared in this statement, the European Disability Forum (EDF) and CBM join forces to address the needs of persons with disabilities impacted by the war in Ukraine.

The project aims to support persons with disabilities within Ukraine as well as those who have left Ukraine and are in neighbouring or nearby countries, including Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, Lithuania and Moldova.

The overall goal is to ensure that persons with disabilities and their representative organizations are fully included in the response to and recovery from the Ukrainian war. Within this goal, there are three objectives: 

  • Support persons with disabilities in collaboration with organisations of persons with disabilities (OPDs)  
  • Advocate for disability inclusion in the broader humanitarian response in Ukraine and in the countries of the EU  
  • Ensure the recovery of persons with disabilities, and build the capacity of the disability movement in the long-term
