The PIMA project aims to strengthen the capacity of local governments in Estonia, Sweden, and Ukraine to build and maintain community-level resilience. A key focus of the project is the development and support of resilience hubs – local centres that provide practical support, information, and safety during crises.

During the Gotland event, we highlighted how PIMA creates a cross-border learning platform, enabling municipalities from the three countries to share and adapt best practices in community preparedness. Particular attention is given to learning from Ukraine’s experience, where local governments have had to innovate under extreme conditions, offering valuable insights for the entire region.

Through PIMA, we aim to:

• facilitate structured international knowledge exchange;
• support local-level preparedness through shared learning and practical tools;
• promote experience-based cooperation that values both success stories and hard-earned lessons.
