Yesterday, Zhytomyr Oblast received modern gasoline generators from the USAID GOVERLA Project.
In the context of a full-scale war in Ukraine, the Goverla Project has scaled up its activities and focused on adaptation to war conditions. Currently, the project is carrying out activities to increase the capacity of ATCs to respond to military and man-made emergencies.
The generators will be handed over to the civil defense authorities of Zhytomyr region. They will be used in cases of power outages or interruptions to ensure stable power supply. In a time of war, it is extremely important to provide alternative energy sources for the uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure facilities.
