Projects from ISAR's office in Kyiv
ISAR-Kyiv provides technical, informational and financial assistance to
NGOs in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. The grant-making program offers
small seed grants for concrete environmental projects in fields such as
media and public awareness, legal and legislative policy, alternative
sources of energy, biodiversity protection, environmental education,
community cleanup, pollution monitoring, sustainable agriculture and waste
management. The program also offers support to joint projects between
groups in different republics and to US-NIS partnerships. Proposals are
reviewed four times a year by a local board of environmental specialists.
ISAR-Kyiv also serves as an information clearinghouse for NGOs. It has
developed an extensive database of regional environmental groups and in
1995 published a directory of NGOs in the West NIS involved in
environmental activities, which it distributed to Ukrainian, Moldovan and
Belarusian NGOs. ISAR continuously updates its database and plans to
publish an expanded directory in 1996. In the last two years ISAR-Kyiv
has published over a dozen environmental publications, including many
translations of foreign works on environmental themes. These materials
are distributed free of charge to NGOs in the region. In addition,
ISAR-Kyiv produces and distributes a monthly bulletin, which includes
information about seminars, conferences, publications, grant and
scholarship opportunities and other events of interest to local
environmentalists. The bulletin is available in both hard copy and
electronic form.
