UHF Winterization Response ltpgtltspangtThrough
Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF) funding, Samaritan’s Purse (SP) aims to provide
life-saving assistance and increase the winter preparedness of approximately
7,200 Ukrainians in Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, by distributing
and installing 2,400 wood-burning stoves with accompanying stove piping, educational
guide, and six cubic meters (mlt/spangtltsupgt3lt/supgtltspangt) of firewood per stove to those who
do not have a reliable heating source in their home. Teams will train HHs on
stove usage, as well as assess the need for a metal floor plate alongside the
stove during installation, supplying as needed.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspangtSamaritan’s Purse will reference the
general and anonymized survey of a sub-set of partners in order to determine
general needs for budget and staffing, serving as a reference for the requested
sub-grants in this proposal. Selected partners will rent transport for targeted
HHs, which will be compensated according to SP’s internal trucking and/or fuel
reimbursement matrix, as well as locally procure firewood, which will also be
compensated according to market-based rates per region. Within the first three
months of the project, partners will transport the pre-determined supply of
stoves as indicated by project staff, which will be informed by initial
estimates from government officials and other relevant stakeholders. lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspangtAll
local partners will participate in ongoing capacity strengthening, including
training on targeting, monitoring, reporting, and prevention of sexual
exploitation, abuse, and harassment (PSEAH), and will wear branded vests during
distributions. Routine monitoring will be conducted to reinforce
accountability, improve programming and project delivery methodologies, and
identify and prevent protection risks associated with winterization assistance.
Upon closeout, members of the SP UHF Winterization Team will conduct
post-distribution monitoring at programmatic sites with each partner, in
addition to the routine spot checks performed by project staff. During visits,
the team will: (a) evaluate the efficacy of techniques employed and the overall
program based on quantitative and qualitative data (b) identify lessons
learned or possible changes to best facilitate ongoing programming in
conjunction with the partners and (c) conduct a survey of a sample number of beneficiaries
(sample size to be determined). Staff will provide feedback to stakeholders as
appropriate.lt/spangtlt/pgt
