One direction under consideration is developing #WASHinWAR into an international platform that brings together Caritas Ukraine, the wider Caritas network, public institutions, technical experts, and businesses around water security and Ukraine&#8217;s recovery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;We deeply value our partnership with Cordaid and the openness of our Dutch colleagues towards Ukraine,&#8217; said Olha Sydii, Coordinator of the #WASHinWAR advocacy campaign. &#8216;This visit once again demonstrated that effective recovery cannot be achieved by one sector alone. Our task is to build connections between government, civil society, the expert community, and business, so Ukraine&#8217;s needs can meet international expertise, technologies, and resources and be transformed into concrete solutions for communities. This is exactly the approach we want to continue developing through #WASHinWAR.&#8217;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-546x363.jpg 546w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-373x248.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-280x186.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k-66x44.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/54278934386_0bf008e4e7_k.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cordaid funded the construction of a new water tower to supply a Caritas medical centre in Voinyliv, Ivano Frankyvsk Oblast, with much-needed safe drinking water.

In 2027, Caritas Ukraine plans to continue developing #WASHinWAR as an open platform for partnership and advocacy, bringing together the experience and capacity of partners from the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, the United Kingdom and other countries to support the right to water and Ukraine&#8217;s sustainable recovery.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>From the budgetary documents released yesterday at the start of the Dutch parliamentary year, it has become&nbsp;clear that Dutch support for Ukraine will increase. Over the next&nbsp;three years, the Netherlands will spend an extra 327 million euros on non-military support to Ukraine. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proves the Netherlands\u2019 strong commitment to rebuilding Ukraine\u2019s heavily damaged infrastructure. Support for the water and energy sectors will be a top priority.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A delegation from Caritas Ukraine travelled to the Netherlands to work with Dutch counterparts on one of Ukraine&#8217;s most pressing challenges today: keeping water flowing to communities during the war while laying the groundwork for lasting recovery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10717,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"topic_tax":[11],"country_tax":[25],"class_list":["post-10713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","topic_tax-humanitarian-assistance","country_tax-ukraine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
