Six HOVERLA’s Partner Communities will Receive more than Five Million Euros for Environmental Development
On April 19, the Interreg NEXT Poland-Ukraine 2021-2027 Cross-Border Cooperation Program announced the winners that will receive funding for environmental projects. As a result, six USAID HOVERLA Activity partner communities from Lviv, Rivne, and Volyn Oblasts will be able to implement the projects for EUR 5 million.
Here are the projects which the communities plan to implement in partnership with Polish municipalities:
- Brody community (Lviv Oblast) will build the "Stanislavchyk" Modular Safety Center in partnership with the Euroregion Carpathians Ukraine (€500,000) and reconstruct water treatment facilities in the city (€1 million).
- Dobrotvir community (Lviv Oblast) will purchase specialized garbage trucks and install 18 waste sorting stations (€1 million).
- Horodok community (Lviv Oblast) will restore the park and plant more greenery (€400,000).
- Hoshcha community (Rivne Oblast) jointly with other three communities will purchase equipment for voluntary firefighting teams (€672,500).

- Kivertsi community (Volyn Oblast) will enhance safety in combating natural disasters and climate threats together with the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (€600,000)
To prepare communities for the Interreg NEXT Poland-Ukraine 2021-2027 competition, the USAID HOVERLA Activity conducted a series of trainings during 2023 - 2024. This March, 40 communities learned how to prepare efficient applications.
