The goal is to improve cooperation between the government and non-governmental sectors in the field of conflict resolution on the local level and coping with effects of war. It reflects the main objective of the call, which is "support of Ukraine in building functioning democratic state and improving the living conditions of its inhabitants". Ukrainian society has to cope with social conflicts that are result of reforms, as well as of the war in the East. Most of these conflicts are displayed on the level of municipalities, communities, and families. There are conflicts of national identity and future of the country, sometimes defined as conflicts East-West; conflicts between IDPs and the majority caused by lack of resources and missing integration program;conflicts between war combatants and their communities and families;conflicts related to economic reforms and resulting poverty and exclusion of some groups. These conflicts are hard to be solved in the national level. The government does not have capacities to do so. It is more effective and realistic to cope with them on the local level through participatory planning of community development. The project is relying on the network of community activists having years of successful work behind themselves and so the got trust of their fellow citizens.They will be bearers of changes together with representatives of local governments. We will focus on 3 cities (200-700 000 inhabitants) having potential to become good examples for others. The project contains: capacity building through trainings and consultations, financial support of common plans of the city development and small projects on conflict resolution, transfer of experience from Slovakia through internships and festivals of community activities.
