Mercy Corps is a global leader in humanitarian response and sustainable development, operating in over 40 countries to address the world’s toughest challenges, from conflict and displacement to climate change and food insecurity.
With more than four decades of experience and a mission to help communities build secure, productive, and just futures, the organization is playing an increasingly vital role in Ukraine’s recovery and resilience amid war.
Mercy Corps has been on the front lines of humanitarian assistance since 1979, reaching over 220 million people worldwide. Its work spans food security, water access, climate resilience, conflict mitigation and youth empowerment. In Ukraine, where the consequences of full-scale war continue to devastate lives and infrastructure, Mercy Corps is scaling its support through emergency aid and sustainable recovery efforts, collaborating with local partners to empower communities and rebuild from within.
“Ukraine’s recovery requires not only rebuilding infrastructure, but also restoring dignity, opportunity, and hope,” said Vicky Aken, Ukraine Response Director at Mercy Corps. “We believe local communities are the best agents of their own change. By joining USUBC, we’re strengthening our connections to public, private, and civil society actors who share our mission and values.”
Irina Paliashvili, President & CEO of USUBC, welcomed the new member: “Mercy Corps brings decades of global experience in humanitarian response and sustainable development. Their presence in Ukraine and commitment to long-term resilience is an essential contribution to our shared goal of rebuilding a peaceful, inclusive, and economically vibrant Ukraine. We are also thrilled to partner with Mercy Corps on a side event “Investment and Partnerships in Agro Sector: New Perspectives” at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025 in Rome!”
