Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Ukraine’s frontline communities now have a significant opportunity to strengthen their resilience through the Partnership for a Strong Ukraine, Phase 2 (PSU-2) program. This initiative provides equipment that helps stabilize business operations and safeguard jobs.
Program Description
The program is part of the initiative “Economic Stability: Building Community Resilience through MSME Support”. In the first round, businesses can receive:
- diesel generators of various capacities;
- IT equipment such as laptops, printers, and other devices.
Instead of offering cash transfers, PSU-2 directly purchases and delivers the equipment. This approach ensures transparency and, at the same time, allows enterprises to quickly overcome energy shortages, restore jobs, and restart production processes.
Who Can Apply
Businesses may apply if they:
- are officially registered or operate in PSU-2 target communities, or demonstrate how they contribute to local economic stability;
- fall under the MSME category according to national legislation;
- can confirm war-related damage to property or disruptions in operations;
- successfully pass compliance checks with Visual Compliance and YouControl;
- locate their main office in a target community (a priority criterion). Applications from businesses in regional centers remain eligible, but evaluators will review them after those from frontline communities.
Main Benefits
Applying for this program brings several advantages. For instance:
- businesses can receive equipment free of charge;
- companies strengthen their energy resilience;
- enterprises preserve or restore jobs;
- frontline regions gain priority in evaluation.
