This document presents findings from a study of the challenges faced by civil society organizations operating in frontline territories of Ukraine, specifically in Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, and Kherson oblasts.
The research was conducted through surveys and focus group discussions with representatives of CSOs operating in the specified oblasts.
Based on respondents’ answers, the main security, logistical, organizational, communication, financial, and legal constraints affecting CSOs’ capacity to operate in conditions of full-scale war have been identified.
Particular attention was paid to the impact of the security situation on logistics and access to communities, the use of transport in CSO operations, office functioning, team mobility, staffing, and strategic planning. The specificities of CSO interactions with authorities, donors, beneficiaries, and other civil society organizations were analyzed, as were difficulties related to financing, reporting, banking services, registration procedures, and the importation of humanitarian aid.
