It is not possible for municipalities to support IDPs solely by providing humanitarian aid

The Ministry of Social Policy has reported that in the third year of the full-scale war, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine hit almost 4.9 million people. Half of these people have no place to return to. The safer municipalities hosting these millions now face challenges. Nevertheless, mechanisms and tools exist to ensure that IDPs integrate into the municipality, becoming its “growth point”.
