OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine
Conflict prevention and resolution
While multiple OSCE measures and mechanisms are enacted to help resolve crisis in and around Ukraine, the Project Co-ordinator, in line with its mandate, focuses its efforts on assisting Ukrainian stakeholders in addressing consequences and consolidating social cohesion in the country during difficult times.
On a nation-wide level, the Co-ordinator promotes dialogue as a tool of conflict prevention and resolution. To achieve this objective, it provides assistance to strengthen Ukraine’s community of mediators and dialogue facilitators through the training and development of learning materials and tools. The Co-ordinator supports dialogue events between central-level government and crisis–affected communities in eastern Ukraine, and works to enhance the safety of civilians crossing the contact line.
To help diminish the impact of the crisis across the country, the Co-ordinator helps develop and launch a system of assistance for crisis-affected people, including former combatants and their family members.
