    Description
    The Directorate of Civic Identity and Veteran Development is an independent structural unit of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine. The Ministry indicated the need to review the existing legal framework regarding entrepreneurship support to ex-combatants, as well as the Ministry’s strategy supporting veterans’ entrepreneurial activities. The object of this action was geared towards reintegration, rather than reinsertion. Reintegration is the process by which ex-combatants acquire civilian status and gain sustainable employment and income. During the first activity, experts from France produced a review of the legal framework and strategy related to the reintegration of veterans through entrepreneurship. The second activity showcased good practices of programmes supporting veterans entrepreneurship in Croatia. Both activities were carried out remotely.
