Liliia Kotyk, the foundation’s regional coordinator in the Ternopil region, added that the high praise for Rokada’s work primarily reflects the effectiveness of assistance to people, the quality of implementing changes in communities, and the trust of partners.
“Any project we implement is, first and foremost, for the people and about the people. Behind each one lies the daily work of teams rooting for the success of every initiative, every story brought to us. That is exactly why we perceive any recognition as an incentive to work even better, to scale our resource and expertise,” she concludes.
Since 2020, the Golden Flipchart competition has been honoring those who drive the civil society sector forward and turn ideas into results.
