🚀Restarting a business in a time of war – Helvetas supported a training course for entrepreneurs On December 19, the Association of Private Employers held the final lesson of the course ‘Restructuring Business in a Time of War’ to help Ukrainian entrepreneurs adapt to the challenges of war. Launched in November 2024 with the support of Helvetas Ukraine, the training course provided participants with the knowledge, skills, advice, and contacts to run a business effectively in difficult conditions. 🏆The culmination of the final lesson of the event was a negotiation tournament, in which the best graduates demonstrated their skills and strategic thinking. The winner was Yulia Goryun, who brilliantly coped with all the challenges! The participants received certificates of completion of the course, which became a source of new knowledge, and a platform for sharing experiences and building useful contacts. 🙏Helvetas Ukraine is proud to contribute to developing small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine, as this is an important step towards strengthening the economy and rebuilding the country. 💙💛Thank you to all partners, trainers, and participants for their work, determination, and commitment to development.

💼 Business Associations as a Key to Engaging the Private Sector in Reforms and Recovery – Helvetas Supported the Forum in Kyiv On December 19, Kyiv hosted the forum ‘Development of Business Associations in Ukraine: Engagement, Standards, Dialogue’, which aimed to discuss effective approaches to developing a network of business associations in Ukraine. 🔹Anastasia Baklan, Helvetas Project and Partnership Manager: Helvetas highly values the contribution of business associations to addressing issues related to economic recovery, creating a more favorable business climate in Ukraine, and providing necessary services for MSME. Our goal within the forum is to consolidate the efforts of international donors, the state, the civic sector, and all stakeholders to improve the functioning of business associations. 🔹Liubomyr Chornii, Center for Public Expertise Project Manager and National MSME Platform Member of the Coordinating Council: For us, this forum is the first event of its kind where we discuss critically important topics for entrepreneurship development, especially through the lens of business associations. We have ambitious plans to make this event an annual tradition to continue finding joint solutions for fostering entrepreneurship and supporting business associations in Ukraine. 🔹Pavlo Sheremeta, Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine (2014): Entrepreneurs need funding, education, and community to grow and scale. Entrepreneurial associations are a powerful force that helps defend their interests and acts as a driving force for development. They provide an opportunity to learn from and collaborate with the best. 🔹Vladlen Sysun, UNDP Project ‘Strengthening MSME Membership Business Associations in Ukraine’ Organizational Development Coordinator: Our priority and focus are to provide comprehensive support to business associations, including facilitation of events, and engaging experts. Over the past years, we have collaborated with more than 40 business associations, and a new support package for Ukrainian entrepreneurial associations is being prepared for 2025-2028. 🔹Natalia Slynko, East Europe Foundation (EEF) Vice President of Program Activities: 90% of civil society organizations want to participate in rebuilding the country and their communities. However, to access grant opportunities, these organizations must improve financial and administrative procedures, implement project management and human resource strategies, establish effective communications, and enhance technical capabilities. The forum is organized by the SME National Platform within the framework of the UNDP Ukraine Project ‘Strengthening MSME Business Associations in Ukraine’, implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and with the support of Switzerland.

💼 We continue to share the stories of our grantees! Andrii Afanasiev and his wife Ophelia are entrepreneurs from Kharkiv who, despite all the challenges, continue to live and work in their hometown. Before the full-scale invasion, the couple was engaged in the sewing business, but in March 2022, a missile strike destroyed their multi-story house and workshop. 🚀 Nevertheless, even in such difficult conditions, Andrii and Ophelia decided to start a new business – food production. They registered the trademark ‘Pani Shef’ and opened their store. 🍴 At first, the couple made sweet products. Later, their assortment included stews, pates, and ready-to-eat lunches. The new stage of development became possible thanks to grant support from Helvetas. The grant helped Andriy and Ophelia purchase a blast freezer to launch a line of frozen semi-finished products. 🔥’Pani Shef’ provides Kharkiv residents with quality products and proves that even in the most difficult times, new development opportunities can be found! We sincerely rejoice at the success of Andriy and Ophelia and are proud to have the opportunity to support Ukrainian businesses! 👉Follow our projects and discover new opportunities to grow your business with Helvetas Ukraine.

💼V INTERNATIONAL FORUM ‘HUMAN CAPITAL: VALUE. QUALITY. DEVELOPMENT’ was held with the support of Helvetas On 12 December, the V INTERNATIONAL FORUM ‘HUMAN CAPITAL: VALUE. QUALITY. DEVELOPMENT’ at the initiative of National Qualifications Agency and supported by Helvetas Ukraine was held. The event focused on the European integration of Ukraine’s qualifications system, opportunities and prospects for developing qualification centers, policies on regulated professions, and the awarding of professional qualifications by higher education institutions. 🔷Yurij Balanyuk, Head of NQA: The greatest value of Ukraine is human capital, and we have to provide every Ukrainian with the opportunity to study and obtain professional qualifications. 🔷Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada: The Parliament is working to ensure that Ukrainian educational institutions become centers of innovation and that every Ukrainian has access to quality education that meets the requirements of the modern labor market. 🔷Oksen Lisovyi, Minister of Education and Science: The task of the Ministry is to build a modern educational infrastructure and attract investment in education. We continue negotiations with international partners to increase investment in Ukrainian education, particularly in pre-school and higher education. 🔷Serhii Babak, MP: The Cabinet of Ministers has recently registered a law on the national qualifications system in the Verkhovna Rada. It is important in the context of European integration and will bring the country closer to EU standards. At the same time, we are faced with adopting a law on regulated professions, so that the qualifications of specialists trained in Ukraine will be equally recognized in the EU. 🔷Olha Koval, MP: Qualification centers and the recognition of qualifications obtained through informal means are the most significant things nowadays, given the need for reintegration of veterans and IDPs. Qualification centers are an effective way to employ these categories of Ukrainians. 🔷Petr Base, Helvetas Director in Ukraine: Helvetas has been working in Ukraine to develop human capital, and will continue to do so even after the election, as it has a strategic planning horizon. Together with partners we will contribute to the reconstruction and recovery of Ukraine. 🔷Anastasia Baklan, Helvetas Project and Partnership Manager: For Helvetas it is important to approach any project systematically and to implement systemic change, we need to partner with government stakeholders. Together, we implement solutions that will contribute to the recovery and development of Ukraine. The forum was held within the agreement between the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic and Helvetas Ukraine on the implementation of the project ‘Contributing to favorable economic environment for returnees, IDPs and war-affected population in Ukraine’ in collaboration with the Czech Development Agency.
