Looking Forward: The Alliance of Ukrainian CSOs, Nicholas Noe, Refugees International, 2025
Responding to this marginalization and building on years of advocacy for greater local leadership in the aid sector, 16 leading Ukrainian CSOs publicly formed the Alliance of Ukrainian CSOs in September 2023. This report details key moments and takeaways from the Alliance’s young history, especially as lived by its founding members and supporters. It also provides recommendations that can help guide how other locally led coalitions – and their international supporters – might coalesce to drive vital reforms in aid responses elsewhere that are no less deserving of fundamental change.

Both external experts and conflict-affected communities use futures-thinking for analytical purposes and to drive societal transformation in conflict contexts. Increasingly, it is being researched for its value in peacebuilding for conflict prevention and resolution. This entry also examines divergent perspectives on decolonization in the futures-thinking literature.
