this proposed project Dorcas provides an integrated response package of support
to the identified needs in the accessible rural areas close to the frontline in
Zaporizhzhia Oblast.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.95pt"gtltspan lang="EN-US" style="font-size:8.0ptfont-family:"gtDorcas
will implement its project in Komishuvakha, Kushuhum and Vilnyansk hromadas
where in all these three critical areas the implementation strategy is an
integrated approach amongst the following sectors: MPCA, Shelter/NFI and
Protection. The mentioned rural areas are one of the most critical areas and
were ranked with a severity mapping of 5 for HNA and 4 for MSNA. Dorcas will
consider to respond in newly liberated areas. . lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.95pt"gtltspan lang="EN-US" style="font-size:8.0ptfont-family:"gtThe
highest concentration of needs according to the MSNA are driven by Shelter/NFI,
Protection and livelihoods. Many of those remaining in the area are highly
vulnerable due to low levels of household income (further impacted by the war),
elderly age and the limitations and isolation this brings, or living with
disabilities limiting movement, access to goods and services, and community.
Children living in these communities have been exposed to violence for over a
year now, severely impacting their mental well-being. lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

ltspan lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtEmergency multi-purpose cash will be provided to
3,850 individuals (conflict affected people), 2,080 conflict affected people
will receive protection assistance, 500 households will be provided with NFI
kits, 50 communal bomb shelter kits will be distributed, and 50 damaged
shelters will receive light and medium repairs. In total this project is aiming
to serve 5656 unique beneficiaries. ltbrgt
The MPCA interventions means to address urgent household needs for survival. Seven
enumerators conduct questionnaires for beneficiary selection, traveling to
rural areas to register beneficiaries. After beneficiaries have been selected,
cash distribution is validated, deduplicated, and beneficiary information is
sent to the financial service provider UKRposhta, who will notify beneficiaries
when the funds are available for pick-up. For NFI distribution, Dorcas provides
NFI kits for 500 households and communal bomb shelter NFI kits for 50 rural
bomb shelters. Dorcas’ technical field staff will work with local authorities
to identify households most in need of the shelter NFI kits. All contents of
the kits are endorsed by the Ukraine Shelter Cluster, noting that the
individual household kit draws from the “Household kit
(displaced/non-displaced)” and “Family kit (non-displaced in bomb shelters)”
standard cluster kits. Dorcas will focus on providing support to complete light
and medium shelter repair works for the non-displaced population, specifically
targeting the most vulnerable who are unable, or unwilling, to move from their
homes, but whose homes have suffered damage from military action. Selection
criteria will be developed to capture the most vulnerable and at-need
households, With the Dorcas’ engineer a bill of quantities (BoQ) will be
defined per household. Partner Nevo’s mobile PSS team will travel with the MPCA
and NFI/Shelter teams to registration sites to provide PFA to adults and
children,  and distribute flyers with phone numbers for support lines and
mental well-being tips. The team will regularly conduct protection monitoring,
provide PFA, and provide case management and set up and use referral pathways.
Twenty CSOs and networks of volunteers are trained on Connect Curriculum,
Self-Help Plus, and PSEA, and Nevo will train the community stakeholders on PFA
and referral indicators. Connect groups for children and adults in rural
communities will be run by trained stakeholders, and child-friendly spaces will
be refurbished to create safe spaces for children where Connect groups can be
held.lt/spangtltspan lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"gtltbrgt
