We presented the PIMA initiative to the Prime Minister of Estonia
On December 9, Maria Tyshchenko, a representative of the NGO Poruch (Порyч) and a cooperation partner of the Crisis Research Centre, visited the Estonian Embassy in Kyiv. The Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia, Kristen Michal, was also in Kyiv to discuss Estonian-Ukrainian cooperation on community crisis preparedness and our new trilateral project.
PIMA (Points of Invincibility for Multi-level Adaptation) combines local experience from Estonia, Sweden, and Ukraine to build and run crisis support centres as effectively as feasible. In Ukraine, such centers are known as points of invincibility.
These centers provide people with basic services such as charging their electronics or accessing the internet if their home’s electricity fails. If the heat goes out, there’s somewhere to stay warm. It’s also a chance to meet other people and learn new skills, such as first aid.
In Sweden and Estonia, resilience shelters are also being developed for various crisis circumstances, and it is critical to recognize that such centers are required in specific crises. We are excited to collaborate on this new project with Malmö University and the Ukrainian NGO Poruch. The project is funded by the Swedish Institute.
