Despite the war, Ukrainian makers continue to innovate and make - they are keen to con-tribute to the development and further recovery of Ukraine. Makerspaces in Ukrainian towns and cities have the potential to act as hubs for innovation and local development. However, often they lack the means to unleash their full potential, like resources, specific skills, or relia-ble local partner networks.
Despite the war, Ukrainian makers continue to innovate and "make" - they are keen to con-tribute to the development and further recovery of Ukraine. Makerspaces in Ukrainian towns and cities have the potential to act as hubs for innovation and local development. However, often they lack the means to unleash their full potential, like resources, specific skills, or relia-ble local partner networks.

The Makers Empowerment Hubs program aims to empower makerspaces to realize their full potential to contribute to local development within their communities. The program supports makerspaces with the necessary resources, networking, and skill development. The program consists of two interlinked components:

1. **Development support:** During the course of one year, the participating makerspaces receive funding of 40.000€ (about 1.7 Mio UAH according to the exchange rate on the day the contract is concluded) and complementing expertise to develop their makerspace and anchor it in their community by forming meaningful relationships with local institutions and businesses. Participating makerspaces will develop strategies to ensure they thrive beyond the program's duration.
2. **Project for development:** Within the one-year period, the participating makerspaces carry out one project con-tributing to local development. The makerspaces can get creative to come up with a participative project idea which is directly connected to the programs theme of “mak-ing for local development and addresses specific needs within their community.

During the funded period the makerspace is supported by a community manager and GIZ. They will get support in forming new partnerships (moderating workshops, identifying relevant stakeholders and areas of cooperation), fundraising, documentation, reporting, and financial management.
