NAMIR: working together for Ukraine’s development.

NAMIR is a Ukrainian development foundation connecting the strengths of businesses, universities, civil society, communities and international partners. We bring people together so that a shared need can be matched with a clear plan, relevant expertise and a responsible partnership.

We focus on solutions that create lasting opportunities for people and communities: to learn, work, develop their own initiatives and use accessible services and spaces.

Our mission.

To unite businesses, national and local institutions, civil society, experts, communities and international partners to create and scale programmes that strengthen Ukraine’s capacity and deliver measurable, lasting results.

The future we work towards.

A Ukraine where people can fulfil their potential, communities can thrive, and knowledge, responsible business and international cooperation support lasting prosperity.

NAMIR was founded by the Ukrainian public union «Агенція відбудови України» (Agency for the Reconstruction of Ukraine).

Name

NAMIR

NAMIR comes from the Ukrainian word for “intent”: a conscious decision to act. For us, it marks the beginning of responsibility for the journey from an idea to a result.

Values

  • Dignity — respecting each person’s choices and experience.
  • Partnership — connecting expertise and recognising every contribution.
  • Integrity — acting transparently and responsibly.
  • Evidence — drawing on knowledge and reliable data.
  • Lasting results — building capacity that remains after a project ends.

Approach

How intent becomes impact.

  1. Understand the need with people and communities.

  2. Design a solution with experts.

  3. Bring together partners and resources.

  4. Deliver an agreed plan.

  5. Assess the results and improve the approach.
