Emergency Shelter, MPCA and Livelihood Support for Kherson, Mykolaiv and Chernihiv ltpgtltpgtltspangtThis project targets Kherson and Mykolaiv
Oblastnbsplocated in the South-Eastnbspof Ukraine and Chernihiv Oblast
located in the North of Ukraine. In both locations this project addresses the
most urgent Shelter, Livelihoods and Multi-Sectoralnbspneeds among the most vulnerable
non-displaced and returneesnbspin the South-Eastnbspand the most vulnerable
IDPs and thenbspnon-displaced in Chernihiv.nbspThe proposed interventions
aim to provide relief to vulnerable population innbspSouth and North of
Ukraine and theirnbsplocal economy by providing safe and long-term shelter solutions
and household-level opportunities for increased self-reliance and increased
income through Cash for Livelihood.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtKherson and MykolaivnbspOblasts are among the
regionsnbspseverelynbspimpacted by the invasion of Russia in February 2022.
Territories of Kherson Oblast were occupied for a period of eight months. In the
most South-Eastern part of Mykolaiv oblast,nbspdirectly bordering Kherson
oblast, intense fighting has taken place resulting in severe destruction in the
villages. These areas have become accessible since December of 2022.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtInnbspthesenbspnewly
liberated areas,nbspthis project will focus specifically on the rural and
vulnerable non-displaced persons and returnees, such as elderly, single
mothers, disabled and low-income households, by firstly providing support for
house repairs through Cash for Light and Medium Repairs. Secondly, by
supporting households with access to food in two ways. Firstly,nbspby providing
MPCA to addressnbspthe most urgent and unmet needs of food and non-food items
that can be purchased on the local market, and secondly by providing livelihood
opportunitiesnbspthrough Cash for Livestock to increase self-reliance for rural
population with limited options of work other than livestock and farming.nbsplt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtTlt/spangtltspangthe Chernihiv region
still has a large concentration of IDPs (72,000 people) and a significant
amount of destroyed houses. It is the only region in Ukraine that directly
borders both the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, with 450 km of
common border. The border is still under periodic shelling by Russian forces.
Although the territory was liberated in April 2022, only 2,500 of the 8,535
private houses were restored in 2022. Houses with severe damage remain
virtually unreached by recovery assistance. This project will assist the most
vulnerable IDPs fleeing the border areas where violence is ongoing, and returnees
in three ways:lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtFirstly, this project
will restore 20 heavynbspdamaged and 40 medium damagednbsphouses for the
most vulnerable in the rural communities:lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangt
Kyinska, Novobilouskanbspand Kyselivska, the line of defense of Chernihiv and
where people suffered the most during the invasion.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtSecondly, this
intervention will provide Emergency MPCA to 1,350 of the most vulnerable IDPs
of the population who have been resettled or need to be resettled from
communities that border Russia and/or completely lost their housing.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtlt/spangtltspangtThirdly, this intervention will increase livelihood strategies of
vulnerable IDPs,nbsppersons affected by the military conflict
andnbspnon-displaced.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangt
by providing microgrants in Chernihiv Oblast for businesses and self-employment.
These grants will provide sustainable solutions for families and directly support
the local economy. This part of the project will be implemented by the Local
Partner NGO, the Association for Democratic Development.nbspThe project also
envisages strengthening this NGO and developing its capacities.nbsplt/spangt
