About PFRU
PFRU’s objective is to strengthen Ukraine’s resilience in the face of Russian aggression by delivering essential support to local communities in collaboration with the Ukrainian government, civil society, and the private sector.
PFRU unites the Government of Ukraine with some of its closest international partners around a shared mission: to help communities survive, adapt, and stay united under immense pressure. The programme works in coordination with government institutions, local authorities, civil society, and the private sector, identifying and filling critical gaps that are not covered by other international or national efforts.

PFRU Strategic Objectives
To support Ukraine’s resilience against Russian aggression, both now and in the future, PFRU works towards four strategic outcomes. Together, they reflect a joined-up approach that responds to urgent needs, helps hromadas, institutions, and society adapt, remain functional under pressure of war, and supports the broader conditions for long-term recovery. This framework allows PFRU to combine practical support on the ground with a wider focus on social cohesion, resilience, and evidence-informed decision-making.
