The ILO Ukraine initiative

Guidelines

Background

The RI Logistica Association was approached via email from representatives from the European ILO (Industry Liaison Officer) Network, following the ILO CERN meeting in September 2022, asking if we could help them in setting up a logistical solution providing RIs in Ukraine by replacing stolen/damaged equipment during the ongoing war also meeting the volume/magnitude needed to be transported.

Step by step guide

  1. Donation gathering
        • Based on the lists of needed equipment, the ILOs together with RI.Logistica will find doners
        • All donations will be donated to the RI.Logistica Association. If you have equipment to donate that is not on the list, please contact us.
  2. Shipping instruction within EU:

    All donations should be sent to the following address:

    RI Logistica Association
