HOPE - Humanitarian outreach to Protect and Enhance in areas of return and rural areas close to the frontline in Ukraine ltpgtR2P is proposing a multisectoral and complementary support in the domains identified as the most critical - Protection and Winterization, which are reported by many individuals as the dire need and protection related risk, as well as WASH and FSL. R2P will work 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. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtThe 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. lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtR2P offers differentiated sets of activities for areas of return and areas close to the frontline, which are developed through the needs lenses. R2P  will work in rural areas close to the frontline (i.e. Mykolaivska, Khersonska) providing a wide range of support within the Protection, WASH and FSL sectors, and will complement already existing programs and provided support by other governmental or nongovernmental actors.lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtIn 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.ltbrgtltbrgtltspangtltspangtIn each of the target oblasts R2P will select communities as per the following characteristics:lt/spangtlt/spangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtltbgtltspangt- areas with damaged or destroyed premises of social and healthcare institutions  lt/spangtlt/bgtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtltbgtltspangt- areas with safe and stable security situation lt/spangtlt/bgtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtltbgtltspangt- 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 persons with disabilities.lt/spangtltspangt lt/spangtlt/bgtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtltspangtR2P will select the locations according to the needs reflected on the rapid health assessments tools on each location and in coordination with clusters and other INGOs, also by the deployment of the Rapid Responses Team. Referrals between the consortium will be considered to strengthening the add value.lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtltbrgtR2P offers a modality of multidisciplinary mobile teams which is 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. R2P 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 proposal will also be a combined and integrated assessment of complex needs across Protection and other sectors in the target geography. Furthermore, having operations in Mykolaivska, Khersonska, and Kharkivska oblasts will put R2P in a better position to be able to rapidly respond and move forward should Ukraine launch a successful offensive along the line of contact. lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtltbrgtThe project is designed to respond to priority humanitarian needs as identified in the 2023 HNO and Multi-lt/spangtlt/spangtltspangtSector 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 crisis.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtlt/pgt
