HOPE - Humanitarian outreach to Protect and Enhance in areas of return  and rural areas close to the frontline in Ukraine ltpgtPlease note this proposal is an extract of the approved R2P-consortium proposal (CBPF-UKR-23-S-NGO-25051) covering UK-Med activities and budget.lt/pgtltpgtR2P and UK-Med under this project propose a multisectoral and complementary intervention in the most critical areas of need - Protection and Health, which are reported by many individuals as the dire need and protection related risk, as well as WASH and FSL. The Consortium will work together on providing or increasing access to basic services in areas of return to the most vulnerable individuals - especially women, elderly, children and persons with disabilities, IDPs - and rural areas close to the frontline.lt/pgtltpgt  ltbrgtThe program will be implemented at i) individual and ii) institutional level, ensuring sustainability of the intervention and clear exit strategy. This will be accompanied by a community-based protection and localization component to empower different community representatives and sustain project results. ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe consortium partners will work together in the same communities in rural areas close to the frontline (i.e. Mykolaivska, Khersonska) providing a wide range of support within the Protection, Health, WASH and FSL sectors, and will complement already existing programs and provided support by other governmental or nongovernmental actors. ltspangtIn areas of return, R2P will target Zhytomyrska, Kyivska, Chernihivska, and Sumska oblasts with Protection-focused activities followed by supportive WASH and FSL. Kharkivska oblast as an area of return which is close to the frontline, will be provided with a mix of protection activities - both provision of basic services as well as strengthening local capacities accompanied with strong Health response. lt/spangtltspangtIn each of the target oblasts R2P will select communities as per the following characteristics:lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt- areas with damaged or destroyed premises of social and healthcare institutions ltbrgt- areas with safe and stable security situation ltbrgt- areas reported by local authorities (in particular, social protection departments and municipal healthcare) needs in provision of basic social, health and protection services, especially for women, children, elderly and ltbrgtpersons with disabilities. ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtUKMED will select the locations according to the needs reflected on the rapid health assessments tools on each location along with the EHRMs updates and in coordination with the Health clusters and other INGOs, also by the deployment of the Rapid Responses Team. Internal referrals between the consortium will be considered to strengthening the add value.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe Consortium offers a modality of multidisciplinary mobile teams aimed to improve accessibility of services for persons with limited mobility, including elderly, persons with special needs and those living in the communities with disrupted transportation and/or damaged social care and healthcare facilities. To ensure synergies between Consortium partners and comprehensive support of the beneficiaries, R2P and UkMed will utilize a cross-referral mechanism for beneficiaries to receive a complex assistance - psycho-social, legal, medical and in-kind. An additional added value of the R2P and UkMed working together will also be a combined and integrated assessment of complex needs across Protection and Health sectors in the target geography. Furthermore, having operations in Mykolaivska, Khersonska, and Kharkivska oblasts will put the Consortium in a better position to be able to rapidly respond and move forward should Ukraine launch a successful offensive along the line of contact. ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe project is designed to respond to priority humanitarian needs as identified in the 2023 HNO and Multi-Sector Need Analysis (MSNA) and complements the Government’s response. The project will be implemented in partnership with local authorities and coordinate with development and humanitarian aid programmes to support stabilization, and facilitate a more sustainable response to the protracted ltbrgtcrisis.ltbrgtlt/pgt
