Mediation in Ukraine: Statistics, Analysis, and Recommendations During Wartime and Post-War Recovery

In the constant stream of daily information, it’s easy to miss important materials. That’s why we encourage you to take a closer look at the 2023 report: “Mediation in Ukraine During Wartime and Post-War Recovery: Needs Assessment and Recommendations.”

The report is based on extensive empirical research conducted among over 300 participants from different regions of Ukraine — mediators, lawyers, representatives of the free legal aid system, judges, local authorities, military personnel, and internally displaced persons. It presents an assessment of mediation needs during wartime, a detailed analysis of the types of conflicts where demand for alternative dispute resolution is growing, and identifies barriers hindering the development of mediation in times of crisis.

Special attention in the 2023 mediation report is given to areas where mediation proves most in demand: family, labor, neighborhood disputes, communities, and among veterans. The report offers clear recommendations for government bodies, educational institutions, local authorities, civil society initiatives, and international partners — focused on expanding access to mediation, strengthening institutional support, and training professionals.

This report will be valuable for those involved in justice reform, post-conflict recovery policy development, analytical research, mediation practice and education — as well as anyone seeking reliable statistics and a deep understanding of the role of mediation in society.

The report is publicly available.
