An interview takes places with Olena Kvartsiana, an expert on teaching methodology at Mykolaiv Medical College in Ukraine
Through a new partnership with the government of Denmark, UNOPS is providing electricity generators and heating devices to people living in Ukraine’s Mykolaiv region.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has caused significant damage to the country’s infrastructure and energy networks. In November 2022, the Ukrainian government reported the destruction of 40 per cent of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Damaged infrastructure has also affected energy and heating supply to 15 regions across the country.
In response to the crisis, the government of Denmark tasked UNOPS to deliver $18 million worth of much-needed electricity and heating equipment – including electricity generators, boiler houses, power banks and other essential items that will provide communities with access to electricity and heating during the cold winter months. Initially focusing on the Mykolaiv region, the project is expected to expand to other areas across the country.
“Working at the college has not been the same since we shifted to online learning. We train nurses, ambulance attendants, and pharmacists, who have to learn ways to perform practical manipulations, and teaching that through a screen is nearly impossible. We are all looking forward to welcoming our students back, and we want that to happen as soon as possible,” says Olena.
