Abstract:
The aim of the research is to develop and test an integrated methodology for assessing the impact of international aid on the resilience of Ukrainian enterprises during the wartime, which combines quantitative and qualitative approaches, takes into account the specifics of external risks, and allows for an objective determination of the effectiveness of support from international donors in order to formulate practical recommendations for enhancing the economic resilience of businesses under martial law. The article examines contemporary approaches to evaluating the impact of international aid on the resilience of Ukrainian enterprises during the wartime. It is noted that the resilience of an enterprise under martial law is a complex characteristic that includes the ability to maintain core activities, adapt to changes in the external environment, support financial stability, ensure employment, foster innovation, and attract investments. International assistance provided in the form of financial grants, concessional loans, technical support, and educational programs plays a key role in enhancing the resilience of businesses in Ukraine. However, traditional methods of evaluating the effectiveness of such assistance do not take into account the specifics of wartime conditions, which necessitates the development of an adapted analysis model. This paper proposes an integrated methodology called RAISE (Resilience Assessment of International Support Effects), which combines quantitative analysis (resilience index, KPIs), qualitative evaluations (surveys, case studies), and adjustments for external factors (security, macroeconomic risks). The application of the RAISE methodology is illustrated through the example of the company «AgroPlus» LLC to determine the actual impact of international assistance. The research results confirm that the use of a comprehensive model allows for an objective assessment of support effectiveness, identifying the most effective tools, and formulating recommendations for donors, the government, and businesses. The practical value of the methodology lies in its applicability for assessing both individual enterprises and entire sectors of the economy, which is especially relevant for Ukraine in the context of wartime instability.

Keywords: international aid, enterprise resilience, martial law, RAISE assessment methodology.
