On this page you will find some examples of how the Nansen Support Programme for Ukraine is contributing in practice.

Securing Ukraine’s energy with green and decentralized solutions

Ukraine’s energy grid is under immense pressure due to the ongoing Russian invasion. Repeated attacks have destroyed critical infrastructure, leading to prolonged power outages and a precarious energy situation—particularly with winter approaching. To address urgent needs and increase resilience, it is essential to help Ukraine build a decentralized and flexible energy network that is harder to disrupt. Green and decentralized energy systems play a central role in this strategy, supported by Norway and international partners.

Norwegian support brings hope to families of Ukraine’s missing

The war in Ukraine has left a devastating impact on thousands of families, with over 57,000 people registered as missing. This includes both civilians and soldiers who have disappeared during fighting, forced deportations, and other war-related events. Thanks to a three-year project funded by Norway with NOK 100 million, the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) is helping Ukraine strengthen its ability to locate the missing and support their families.

Essential Support for People Displaced by the War in Ukraine

The full-scale invasion of Ukraine has triggered the largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. Norwegian support to UNHCR is critical in ensuring that more people receive the help they need.

Humanitarian aid for the healthcare sector in Ukraine

The Russian invasion has had catastrophic consequences for the Ukrainian health service. Hospitals and clinics have been destroyed, placing healthcare professionals in dangerous situations, and the need for medical help has grown immensely. Many Ukrainians are suffering from both physical and psychological trauma and vulnerable groups are particularly at risk.
