Strengthening the operational and technical capacity of local communities remains a key pillar of their resilience under martial law.

As part of its cooperation with GIZ, the GoLOCAL team coordinated the delivery of a specialized Volkswagen Transporter (T5) vehicle to the Sosnytsia community in the Chernihiv region.

For local communities, access to reliable mobile equipment is essential to ensuring the uninterrupted operation of municipal services, enabling rapid emergency response, and maintaining critical infrastructure.

The vehicle will be used for emergency repair and recovery works, responding to the aftermath of shelling, carrying out public space maintenance, and servicing street lighting systems. Initiatives like this strengthen communities’ institutional capacity, support the continuous delivery of essential public services, and enhance their ability to respond effectively to today’s challenges.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Government of Germany, GIZ Ukraine: Energy and Climate, and the German business community for their invaluable contribution to the security, energy resilience, and sustainable development of Ukrainian communities.

The donation campaign is part of the Power4Just Transition programme, implemented by GIZ Ukraine under the umbrella of the German-Ukrainian Energy Partnership and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE).
