Abstract
The NGO role in providing aid and internal/external impacts that are occurring during the process are central pillars in analysing the development objective and Sustainable Development Goals for the future.

The NGO role in providing aid and internal/external impacts that are occurring during the process are central pillars in analysing the development objective and Sustainable Development Goals for the future. The challenges that the NGOs face during aid processes are not solely dependent on singular sources and rather require complex, and multi-faced approaches. Previous studies emphasise NGO involvement in armed conflicts to provide humanitarian aid and advocacy for minorities and human rights protection, as NGO involvement is believed to have positive impacts by bringing priority to human and civil rights, promotion of peace and environment, and social issues. In addition to participatory actions taken by the NGOs and their current involvement in the aiding processes, it is desired by this thesis to compliment current literature on a wider spectrum of problems arising from aid processes, such as the lack of communication among NGOs to respond to calls for humanitarian action, impacts on NGO sector at large, challenges for development and complex achievement of SDGs. Depending on the empirical findings collected through interviews conducted with NGOs that are in the process of aiding Ukraine in multiple parallels, findings suggest that the challenges they are facing are of the main importance to their future organisational performances and are impacting their day-to-day work. Additional factors, such as media impact, economic market, and civic engagement shape aiding processes conducted by the NGOs. (Less)
