Civil society organisations (CSOs) contribute to lifelong learning and the development of vocational skills, in particular through non-formal learning activities and support to informal learning. The EU recognises this important role, among other roles the CSOs play, and it provides support to foster the development of CSOs in Member States and partner countries.
Building on previous projects and activities in this sector, in 2020 the ETF surveyed the response of CSOs to the Covid19 pandemic in six countries: Albania, Jordan, Serbia, Tajikistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The purpose of the survey was to appraise the dynamics of the CSOs’ operational capacity and their resilience in the context of the pandemic crisis. Specifically, the survey covered: the CSOs scope of work in the human capital development sector, their proactivity vs reactivity in a time of emergency, capacity to mobilise resources (human, financial), innovation and anticipation, organisational learning capacity, complementarity with regard to the action of local and national governments, and plans for the future.
With regard to the CSOs scope of work in the human capital development sector, the questionnaire meant the following:
• Skills development through non-formal and informal learning of young and adult people;
• Employment-related services that support the learning-employment link;
• Awareness raising and advocacy on skills development and employment;
• Knowledge creation, utilisation and exchange on skills development and employment.
This online-event held on 31 May 2021 in collaboration with the Ukrainian Adult Education Association and DVV International aimed at discussing the findings of the survey in Ukraine with local CSOs and other relevant stakeholders.
Meeting materials are available in the attachments.

In the groups we focused on governance and CSOs - funding mechanisms, policy dialogue and stakeholders engagement. HCD and contribution of the CSOs to the public policy agenda is obvious and can be further developed. Different actors need to play their active role, including Ministries, regional authorities, local communities. ETF Ukraine CSOs survey findings brings upfront the lessons learned by CSOs sector in the time of adapting to new reality in COVID time.
Indeed @Margareta, it's worth sharing the lessons learned by the CSOs in #Ukraine throughout the pandemic.
At first, these CSOs have learned to adapt their activities to the new circumstances.
They also learned lessons of value in the long-term, for example to innovate their services, to motivate staff members and volunteers, and to increase their expertise.
More than half of the respondent CSOs discovered the importance of cooperating with other organisations, of offering new services, attracting additional funds. They report to have improved their organisational skills as well as internal processes, and understood the needs of new beneficiary groups.
So, innovation, motivation, organisational development and building up expertise became key long-term takeaways for the surveyed organisations.
