Ukraine and neighbouring countries - Emergency Assistance – World Vision Canada 2022

May 2022 – The humanitarian situation in Ukraine deteriorated significantly following the Russian military offensive beginning February 24.This has resulted in an estimated 5 million people displaced to neighbouring countries including Hungary Moldova Poland Romania and Slovakia and nearly 8 million people internally displaced. The UN estimates that over 12 million people need immediate humanitarian assistance. On March 1 2022 humanitarian partners issued appeals for approximately US$2 billion to support the humanitarian response inside Ukraine and the humanitarian needs of Ukrainians seeking refuge in neighbouring countries. In light of the complexity of the crisis it is anticipated that humanitarian needs will grow. This requires ongoing donor support to allow partners to scale up their humanitarian response in Ukraine and neighbouring countries.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased ability of women men girls and boys to meet their basic needs through emergency cash assistance; (2) increased equitable access for women men girls and boys to protection services; and (3) increased ability of collective centers to provide gender-responsive shelter spaces for displaced women men girls and boys. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
