« L’aide internationale a mis du temps à s’adapter au contexte ukrainien » (The Ukrainian Week), May 2023

12/05/2023

François Grünewald is a humanitarian aid worker and founder of Groupe Urgence réhabilitation développement (Groupe URD), which advises major international NGOs and works in countries in crisis. He has been working in Ukraine since 2020 and explains why it has been difficult for aid agencies to adapt to the Ukrainian context. The big NGOs, used to working in countries where the state is failing, found themselves in a different context, where there is an active civil society and local authorities that take action on a daily basis.
