Contexto | The situation in Ukraine remains highly volatile, with UNOCHA estimating the number of people in need at 14.6M. Ukrainian CSOs, including local and community-based organizations, remain active in providing humanitarian assistance to those who need it the most. National actors understand the local context better, can respond more quickly to needs, and are more agile in their operations. Phase 2 will enable Ukrainian NGOs to reach more beneficiaries and continue to build their capacities to ensure long-term sustainability. |
Objetivos | To support Ukrainian NGOs that provide protection services to people affected by the war, including women, IDPs, veterans, elderly people, family members of servicemen, civilians in captivity, people with disabilities, children, ethnic minorities. |
Grupos destinarios | At least 35 Ukrainian CSOs and the communities they serve, with a specific focus on internally displaced persons (IDPs), particularly women with children, elderly individuals, people with disabilities, minorities, survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), and family members of military personnel. |
