January 2022 – Ukraine, an estimated 2.9 million people require humanitarian assistance due to the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, with women and the elderly bearing the brunt of the ongoing hostilities. Access to essential services is severely hindered, particularly across the “contact line” in the country’s east. The shock of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic added pressure on a weakened health-care system, while the provision of social services struggled. Protection remains a key concern with significant mine contamination and indiscriminate attacks on essential civilian infrastructure. With the support of GAC and other donors, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) provides immediate assistance and international protection to internally displaced persons and other persons of concern in Ukraine. Project activities include: (1) providing shelter, clothing and other essential non-food items; (2) providing adequate water, sanitation, and health services, including in reproductive health; (3) providing opportunities for education and livelihoods support; and (4) providing protection, including against sexual and gender-based violence, and for children.

The expected outcomes for this project includes: (1) increased access to protection services for internally displaced people, asylum seekers and stateless persons; (2) increased access to support for survivors of violence, particularly sexual and gender-based violence; (3) lower mortality, morbidity and malnutrition rates; and (4) increased access to safe water, hygiene and livelihood necessities for vulnerable persons. The expected ultimate outcome is the reduced vulnerability of crisis-affected people, especially women and children.
