A Pilot Study on Public Trust, Civic Engagement, and Resilience-Building
The study How Ukrainians Perceive NGOs During Wartime examines public attitudes toward non-governmental organizations in Ukraine amid the ongoing war, focusing on levels of trust, civic engagement, and the role of NGOs in resilience building. It provides evidence on how Ukrainians evaluate humanitarian actors, highlighting factors that shape trust and acceptance of NGOs operating in high-risk environments. The research explores the relationship between civil society presence, social cohesion, and community mobilisation during crisis conditions, offering insights into the evolving dynamics of citizen-NGO interaction. Understanding these perceptions is key to improving accountability, responsiveness, and the long-term impact of humanitarian and recovery interventions.
