International Charitable Foundation "GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT"

Peace and Development Through Action

We are rebuilding Ukraine: demining, infrastructure reconstruction, environmental cleanup, and psychological support for people.

 

About Us

GAPD is Ukraine’s dedicated coordination and technical expertise platform for humanitarian demining and land release.

We help design and implement complex, multi-stakeholder projects — bridging government priorities, community needs, operational capacity, and international support into coherent, actionable programming.

Our Mission

To facilitate the design, coordination, and implementation of complex, integrated projects in humanitarian demining and land release — enabling the safe and sustainable return of affected territories to productive use, in full compliance with national and international standards.

The Fund operates at the intersection of government priorities, community needs, operational capacity, and international financing requirements — with a clear focus on strengthening programmatic coherence and reducing the risk of gaps between planned and actual results.

Who We Are

Global Alliance for Peace and Development (GAPD) is an independent Ukrainian charitable organization providing coordination and technical expertise across humanitarian demining, environmental recovery, psychosocial support, and community resilience.

GAPD works on complex, multi-stakeholder projects where government institutions, local communities, certified operators, and international partners must function as a coherent whole. In these projects, risk rarely emerges from execution alone — it accumulates at the intersection of government priorities, field realities, operator capacity, and donor requirements. This is precisely where GAPD operates: structuring projects, aligning implementation logic, and improving feasibility under real conditions.

Our Role

GAPD is not an implementing operator. It does not replace the functions of the state, donors, or accredited demining organizations, and does not exercise official oversight or formal acceptance of results.

GAPD works within Ukraine’s established humanitarian demining system, in coordination with authorized bodies, partners, and operators. Depending on the project, GAPD’s engagement may include:

Field operations, technical control, certification, and formal acceptance of results remain the responsibility of the relevant authorized bodies.
