DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal DPI Phase 2b Context: The scale of need in Ukraine has grown: OCHA suggest 16 million people need urgent assistance but estimate only two-thirds are receiving it. Alongside provision of emergency material assistance, there is a need to respond to other emerging issues such as trauma, accommodation and welfare entitlements. There is also a key need for winterisation support, as temperatures often reach -20C. Prior to war, dozens of people sleeping rough would freeze to death from hypothermia every year. The war has caused a sharp rise in homelessness (in its broad definition) so there is a risk this will be multiplied if support is not put in place. 

Programme overview: Depaul's project builds on the foundations and outcomes achieved during DEC Phases 1 and 2a. The programme will sustain provision of emergency assistance and augment this with winterisation support, whilst also developing holistic support and accommodation services to meet the wider needs of affected populations.  Winterisation related activities were predominantly delivered in phase 2a but will continue into phase 2b as needed. 

In order to better track and analyse the measures to strengthen accountability to affected populations, five new outputs and indicators have been added to this phase. These will track the number of feedback/complaints received through project mechanisms and their successful resolution, as well as community satisfaction with project services and awareness of the feedback mechanisms through post-distribution monitoring.  

Key activities include:
Outcome A – affected populations have access to food assistance
[Outcome B – Hygiene - Discontinued]
Outcome C – Affected populations are supported with winterisation
Outcome D – Affected populations have access to holistic support services (legal, MHPSS)
Outcome E – Affected population have access to accommodation
Outcome F - Affected populations access safe and dignified feedback mechanisms

Continued Response to War in Ukraine 2023-2024 (EA31-2023) As the war in Ukraine has grown protracted and destruction of communities continues, many displaced and other violence-affected households struggle to meet their basic needs, access basic services, and cope with psychosocial stress.

Caritas SPES will engage 32 local implementing partners in the proposed response, comprising teams at the diocese 7 and parish (level). Together these 32 partners, supported by the National Office, will provide assistance in 16 oblasts across Ukraine. The proposed response targets vulnerable displaced and war-affected households across the country, building on the experienced gained by local implementation units during the first year of the CSU response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Activities will cover food/NFI distributions, shelter, soup kitchens, cash assistance, and vouchers.
Prevention, protection, and assistance to vulnerable survivors of human trafficking in Ukraine, 2023 Context: Full scale war in Ukraine has led to an increase in cases of human trafficking as detected by Caritas specialists in different regions of Ukraine. Caritas Ukraine staff have screened cases of sexual exploitation, labour exploitation, forced begging, domestic servitude, and forced involvement in criminal activities and armed conflict. In addition, the large number of Ukrainian refugees who surveys demonstrate intend to return home likely also include many individuals in vulnerable situations who have been exploited. In the experience of Caritas Ukraine, trafficking survivors rarely apply to Ukrainian state institutions like social services or the police, but often refer to non-governmental or church-based organizations like Caritas.

Programme overview: The goal of this project is to reduce number of human trafficking cases in the long term, to screen for survivors of human trafficking among the most vulnerable population in Ukraine, and to provide survivors with targeted reintegration assistance. 

Key activities include:
1.	Awareness raising activities in order to prevent future instances of human trafficking among the population.
2.	Proactive screening and identification of the victims among the vulnerable population and delivery of comprehensive assistance to the survivors and their family members.
3.	Knowledge and experience sharing in counter trafficking with different stakeholders.

Continuation and expansion of psycho-social care to Ukrainian refugees in Eastern Slovakia and IDPs During the design of this project, it was evident that tailored and context-specific psycho-social support for IDPs and refugees was the greatest unmet need. The approach taken has been to identify Ukrainian refugee women in Slovakia who are able to be employed to provide psycho-social care. Carefully selected and equipped with adequate training, these refugees are providing psycho-social assistance to children and adults visiting the various types of places set up for helping refugees and IDPs. There are three core components to this second phase project (building on Phase 1 which ran from May - August 2022): (1) Continued provision of psycho-social care by Ukrainian refugees in Slovakia, (2) Expanded provision of psycho-social care in Ukraine (Western Carpathia, Transcarpathia, and regions of Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia), and (3) Provision of technical training and psycho-social support to front-line psycho-social workers in Ukraine and Slovakia, many of whom have lived experience of the war.

IOM ES NFI Herat Earthquake Response October 2023- 4th Reserve Allocation ltpgtWith the support from AHF, IOM will address the immediate winterization and rental needs of an estimated 13,230 earthquake-affected individuals in Herat province with Shelter/Household essential non-food items (NFIs).  ltbrgtThe interventions will address immediate winterization needs (heating, fuel) for 1,500 families, and cash for rent for 1,575 families. IOM will contribute to the Emergency Shelter (ES)/NFI cluster efforts to meet the urgent needs of people, increase their survival capacity, and prevent mortality.  ltbrgtIOM will reach 10,990 individuals (3,297 boys, 3,297 girls, 2,198 men, 2,198 women) in Herat province. The assistance will be programmed as cash-based interventions (CBI) to cover rental and winterization activities following the Cash and Voucher Working Group (CVWG) and the ES/NFI-cluster recommended cash values for heating. Blankets and winter clothing assistance were excluded for these families as they have already received those items earlier in the immediate emergency response phase. Considering the approaching winter, cash was chosen as a suitable modality based on the previous experience, preference of the community members for cash (confirmed by the Post Distribution and Monitoring and Evaluation reports) and expected quick recovery of the markets, which was the case after the previous large-scale disasters in the country. Road and accessibility conditions are sufficient for quick recovery of market stocks. The CVWG continues to advocate for cash assistance in the earthquake-affected areas. ltbrgtRegarding the areas where in-kind assistance would still be needed, IOM will utilize other funding for the procurement and distribution of in-kind items. ltbrgtIOM will transfer cash assistance via a Financial Service Provider (FSP) with whom IOM already has Long-term Agreements (LTAs) for the provision of cash assistance to beneficiaries. Should the primary FSP encounter delays or a cash liquidity issue, a second FSP will be retained as backup.  ltbrgtThe interventions under this project are designed to address critical needs of people, restore their physical well-being and dignity through improved living standards. IOM will select beneficiaries with special attention to female-led households and persons with disabilities. The locations for the project interventions were selected in coordination with the ES / NFI Cluster.ltbrgtlt/pgt
