A Concept Note: (Re) Skilling Towards Resilience: A Nexus Approach to Early Recovery and (Re) Startup Empowerment in Ukraine

Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation (HSI), World Vision Ukraine Crisis Response (WV UCR), and Vision Fund Ukraine (VFU) established this partnership to spearhead a nexus programming for early recovery and (re)startup empowerment through sustainable and innovative solutions.

The partnership is based on the commonality of vision in search of possible solutions to the existing issues as described in the above section, as well as the principles of complementarity of areas of expertise.

The proposed initiative aims at providing targeted technical trainings aligned to market demands, thereby enhancing employability and income generation opportunities, and bolstering the revival of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

The initiative further incorporates elements of promotion of inclusive education, MHPSS, acknowledging the importance of gender inclusion and protection in the skilling process.

In the past couple of years, both HSI and WV UCR have implemented projects funded by BHA, SDC and BMZ - supporting IDPs, returnees, and the conflict-affected population with grants, re-qualification through Vocational Education and Training (VET), improved access to jobs and funding opportunities and extensive research.
