Inclusive Solutions in Communities: The Role of NGOs and Partnership

We invite non-governmental organizations and active community members to join a series of free online webinars dedicated to strengthening the participation of vulnerable population groups in shaping local policy and making inclusive decisions in territorial communities of the Ternopil region.

The series consists of four thematic webinars and will run from January 15–27, 2026 (online, Zoom platform). Its goal is to increase the awareness and capacity of local self-government bodies, non-governmental organizations, initiative groups, and vulnerable population groups to participate in local democratic processes.

The second webinar in the series will be conducted by Tetiana Ovcharenko, an expert in budgeting and local finance. The session will address how non-governmental organizations can effectively collaborate with local self-government bodies, influence policy formation, and complement the social services system in communities.
