Beyond Survival: Regenerative Organizational Development Support in Wartime Ukraine

Ukraine’s civil society operates in a state of radical simultaneity where survival, recovery, and transformation unfold at once. In this extraordinary context, Civil Society Organizations have become pillars of national continuity, providing humanitarian relief, defending rights, sustaining social trust and cohesion amid destruction. Yet they do so while carrying trauma, exhaustion, and profound uncertainty.

This report captures early lessons from a pilot initiative by the Robert Bosch Stiftung and PeaceNexus Foundation that adapts organizational development support to wartime realities, giving rise to an emerging approach we refer to as Regenerative Organizational Development (Regenerative OD).
