Olha Altunina, Head of the IDP Council under the Kyiv City Military Administration:
“For everyone working in IDP Councils, this series will be particularly valuable due to its comprehensive approach. Each episode covers a specific aspect of their work — from strategic planning to performance evaluation.
The second episode, dedicated to building partnerships, resonated with me the most. IDP Councils serve as a bridge between displaced persons and authorities, and we need like-minded allies to strengthen our efforts. It is crucial for councils to establish effective cooperation with government coordination hubs, and international and national organizations, including UN humanitarian clusters. The series provides detailed guidance on the mechanisms of such collaboration. This is an opportunity to expand the IDP Council’s influence on decision-making at the national level, attract resources, and exchange experiences.”
