Ukraine - Emergency Humanitarian Assistance - IOM 2022

October 2022 – Over 17.7 million Ukrainians need of humanitarian assistance many of whom are ill prepared for winter. Canada has already provided significant support to the humanitarian response however a focused allocation would help address winterization needs outlined in the revised 2022 UN Flash Appeal. With the support of GAC and other donors the International Organization for Migration (IOM) supports those internally displaced in Ukraine due to the conflict with multi-sectoral assistance as well as leading on data with the displacement tracking matrix in addition to providing support to those displaced to neighbouring countries. Project activities include: (1) providing shelter rehabilitation services; (2) providing multipurpose cash assistance for rent and basic needs; and (3) providing clothing and other essential non-food items for winter.

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.
