Link CSOs Ukraine 2.22

Local Initiatives for a Sustainable Ukraine (LINK) is a project implemented by the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe. www.rec.org

The goal of the project “Local Initiatives for a Sustainable Ukraine (LINK)” is to strengthen local capacities for diversifying sources and options for a resource-efficient economy and to bring together policy makers, businesses and civil society at local level to enable positive change in Ukraine. The project promotes good governance, energy efficiency and EU integration processes. It comprises three work packages: Local Energy Security Planning (LESP LINK); Civil Society Support (CSO LINK); and Education for Sustainable Development (Citizens Pack LINK).

The REC is implementing the LINK project in five partner municipalities in Ukraine: Ivano-Frankivsk (western Ukraine), Cherkasy (central Ukraine), Lubny and Poltava (eastern Ukraine), and Berdychiv (northern Ukraine).
