The LINK mechanism helps identify unaddressed and overlooked needs, verify them from multiple sources, and connect them with those who can provide assistance. It makes humanitarian response more transparent for both communities and aid providers.
The mechanism is implemented in 25 de-occupied communities of Mykolaiv and Kherson regions and unites a network of over 900 informants.

Between2024 and 2025, the Legal Development Network has been strengthening the capacity of six communities in Mykolaiv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions to develop and implement strategic decisions. The project focuses on data collection and analysis, advocacy, a civic solutions hackathon, and comprehensive training and mentoring for local self-government representatives.
An important component of the initiative is the development of strategic community documents, including veterans’ policy programs and public services development concepts. Additionally, the project promotes spatial planning and proactive participation through dialogue platforms. This work aims to enhance community resilience, including through the creation of veterans’ spaces and addressing housing needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The program provides a unique opportunity for communities to plan, prepare, and conduct research on the legal needs of their residents. Such research becomes the foundation for a roadmap to address systemic challenges and engage community members in its implementation.
The program has been implemented in Ukraine since 2019, covering 17 communities across 12 regions with a total population of over one million people.
