Hundreds of women community mobilizers across Ukraine unite communities for positive change

Community Mobilization for Empowerment (CME) is an effective method for getting members of any community mobilized and actively involved in local decision-making. The process assists vulnerable women and men to understand their rights, build up their personal capacities, strengthen their links with other community members, and identify priority actions that will contribute to ensuring their rights are fulfilled. The CME methodology has been successfully used and applied in several districts in Ukraine since 2016 and has the potential of being scaled up nationwide.

This programme is being implemented by UNDP, UN Women, UNFPA and FAO. The programme is supported by the EU, EIB, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, and the governments of Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland.
