Statementlt/spangtlt/ugtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan lang="EN-US" style="font-size:8.0pt"gtThe ongoing war in
Ukraine has had devastating consequences on civilian life and infrastructure in
the southern regions of the country. In Mykolaiv and Kherson Oblasts, months of
ongoing shelling and aerial bombardment by the Russian Federation has resulted
in compounding multisector humanitarian needs, extensive destruction of power
and water infrastructure, and has overwhelmed local actors’ ability to respond.
The 2023 HNO reports that the direct attacks on critical power and water infrastructure
have exacerbated pre-existing vulnerabilities in the south, deprived the
population of basic water services, created public health risk, and stalled
civilian returns to liberated areas.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan lang="EN-US" style="font-size:8.0pt"gtFurthermore, despite
the influx international support for the crisis in the south, significant needs
and gaps persist, and community-level responders remain largely disconnected
from the flow of international aid. Cumbersome due diligence procedures,
limited access to coordination structures, and lack of awareness on available funding
mechanisms have meant that these actors (and the communities themselves) are
often unable to secure resources to sustain and expand response capacities. At
the same time, larger and more established national NGOs struggle to scale up
as their internal capacities are challenged by the growing humanitarian needs.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan lang="EN-US" style="font-size:8.0pt"gtAs a leader in
localization and innovative community-based cash programming, DCA is well
positioned to address these gaps. This project will provide emergency WASH,
shelter/NFI, and cash assistance that enhances local response capacity, responds
to acute humanitarian needs identified by local partners, enables safe returns,
and facilitates the flow of resources to community-based frontline actors that
are too often cut off from interlta style="mso-comment-reference:FZ_1

MPC will fund at least 30 community-led crisis response initiatives through the
Group Cash Transfer (GCT) modality, providing flexible, rapid, multisector
support in areas close to the frontline. GCTs will be rolled out using DCA’s Survivor
and Community-led Response technical approach (SCLR). DCA will self-implement
15 GCTs while simultaneously training and capacity-building a strong local
partner on the modality, so that they can then in turn implement their own
“umbrella” of GCTs through their community networks. lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspan style="font-size: 8pt"gtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspan style="font-size: 8pt"gtltbgtWASH:lt/bgt DCA
