Abstract
Text (no picture): This research aims to analyse the relevance of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the successful integration of IDPs in Ukraine by looking at the role civil society plays in improving the socio-economic situation of IDPs; how do they respond to the influx of refugees to the cities? How can they complement government support to IDPs and thereby improve their living situations? This research sees development as a vital and integral part of peacebuilding, because integrating peacebuilding practices by means of development can be a pathway to building a peaceful society, both on a local and on a national level. This research is an analysis of the experiences of IDPs in Ukraine with local organizations and government organizations respectively, in helping to resettle in other parts of Ukraine so as to build a new future outside the conflict region. In order to study the role of local organizations in everyday life, IDPs have been asked about their experiences since they arrived in Kiev (or other big cities) through qualitative interviews. They were asked who have been crucial in helping to receive the refugee status, in applying for social benefits, in housing and job employment.
