This grant represents Canada’s support to the UN Country-Based Pooled Funds (CBPFs) managed by OCHA in various countries, including Ukraine. With the support of Canada and other donors, OCHA fulfills its mandate through activities in several countries. Project activities include: (1) strengthening humanitarian leadership; (2) establishing and overseeing coordination systems; (3) monitoring and reporting on humanitarian situations; (4) advocating on behalf of affected people; (5) supporting the assessment and prioritization of humanitarian needs and strategic planning; (6) promoting emergency preparedness; and (7) mobilizing funding for humanitarian assistance.
