24 February 2025 marks the third anniversary of the escalation of the armed conflict in Ukraine. In this episode, we focus on lessons learnt from these three years of delivering humanitarian response with the goal to support and strengthen locally-led action.
Oksana Dobrovolska, Communications Officer at the the HLA, hosts the conversation with Kamila Wujec, Leadership Pillar Lead at the HLA, and our former Regional Lead in Eastern Europe; Piotr Kolodzej, HLA’s Regional Lead in Eastern Europe, and Anastasiia Korobchuk, our Learning Solutions Specialist in Ukraine.
Looking back at the three years of implementing the SHIFT programme in Ukraine response, the guests share their thoughts on:
- how to support, strengthen and work together with local actors without taking power from them
- the importance of knowing and understanding existing systems for establishing meaningful partnerships
- how to provide effective coordination and ignite systemic changes.
