Providing people living in isolated communities in Donetsk  Luhansk Oblasts with access to critical services, and health  ESSENTIAL services. Seven years into the devastating conflict in eastern Ukraine, civilians, and in particular children, continue to withstand the worst of the consequences. The conflict in eastern Ukraine continues to significantly influence the lives of more than five million people living in the region, 3.4 million of whom require protection or humanitarian assistance to survive. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures implemented to contain its spread have further exacerbated vulnerabilities, especially among those seeking to cross the ‘contact line’ to access pensions and other services. Those living along the contact line - a 427 km-long de facto border dividing Government Controlled Areas (GCA) and Non-Government Controlled Areas (NGCA), are the worst affected. Understanding operational restrictions, humanitarian access constraints, COVID-19 outbreak, and the differentiated needs and vulnerabilities of individuals living in GCA, ADRA proposes uniquely tailored approaches to deliver life-saving but sustainable assistance to affected households in GCA of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts .

Through this project, ADRA aims to improve humanitarian protection,  health of the population affected by the conflict in both Oblasts and their access to basic services. This will be achieved through the provision of free transport to isolated settlements so that residents can have access to basic services in nearby cities, and through mobile clinics along the contact line.  

The project will be implemented in the GCA of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts with a focus on settlements near the contact line (lt5 km radius) and will target vulnerable groups with a focus on the elderly, people with disabilities, or injuries, people with chronic diseases, and single mothers and their children.
Linking multi-sectoral, live-saving assistance and communities living in L- NGCA The project is addressing the critical emergency needs of the most vulnerable populations living in the territory of Luhansk, NGCA, with a particular focus on people with disabilities, their families and women-headed households. The intervention focuses on complex multi-sectoral assistance in Protection, WASH and Food Security amp Livelihoods (FSL) sectors and is in line with First Standard Allocation in response to the protracted humanitarian crises in eastern Ukraine. 
In the proposed project, PIN will utilise its well-established operational capacity in Luhansk NGCA to support 1130 beneficiaries with Protection, WASH and FSL assistance over a period of 12 months.
Under Protection sector PIN will provide quality needs-based non-discriminatory protection assistance, in particular individual target protection assistance  for 50 children with disabilities and access to community spaces to at least 80 vulnerable people and communities residing in Luhansk NGCA. By continuing individual target assistance (ITA) and introducing a more community-oriented approach, including involvement of the local supporters into all activities within current project, PIN aims at ensuring sustainability and effectiveness of humanitarian assistance.
Besides that, PIN will provide a complex voucher support for 500 beneficiaries (children), to improve food security and hygiene and sanitation situation for children with disability and their families with provision of additional special-care hygiene kits to the most vulnerable households in need (200 out of 500 beneficiaries).
In addition, PIN will contribute to FSL sector by assisting 100 women-headed households with agriculture support. Thus, PIN aims at providing means of livelihood to women-headed households, which is in line with the Allocation strategy as well as at contributing to optimised use of water resources in the region with low water security.
Within WASH intervention, PIN will implement rehabilitation of water systems in educational and/or health facilities, situated along the LoC, so that people, users of those facilities (300 in total) could enjoy access to sufficient amount of safe water and improve overall hygiene and sanitation conditions, especially in the light of COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, PIN will ensure protection mainstreaming throughout the project by strict compliance with Humanitarian Principles, PIN Code of Conduct, Safeguarding Policy and COVID-19 Standard Operation Procedures. For transparency, accountability purposes and timely improvements, PIN will conduct regular monitoring of the activities, due reporting and provide beneficiaries and other stakeholders with clear information on Complaints, Feedback and Response Mechanism (CFRM).
For better coordination within the humanitarian sector in terms of better coverage of needs of the affected population and complementarity of the services, PIN will continue cooperating with present humanitarian actors, relevant clusters and other stakeholders, including the local authorities.
Addressing priority humanitarian needs in Luhanska and Donetska NGCA through improvement of education and child protection/rehabilitation services for vulnerable girls, boys, and their families This project aims to support the most vulnerable families with children in educational and social institutions in Luhansk and Donetsk NGCA through improving access to safe education and child protection/rehabilitation services as humanitarian response to protracted armed-conflict and COVID-19 pandemic. The project will target 1,200 children in Luhanska NGCA and 1,500 children in Donetska NGCA through education interventions, and 480 children in Luhanska NGCA through child protection/rehabilitation activities. Continued access to enabling learning environment for conflict affected boys and girls will be ensured through rehabilitation of educational infrastructure that had been directly or indirectly affected by the conflict complemented by provision of essential school furniture and equipment to support distance learning. In Child Protection, essential protection services for children with disabilities will be enhanced through provision of developmental kits, basic rehabilitation equipment and capacity building of  professionals working with children with disabilities. The project will run for 12 months. It will cover urgent humanitarian needs in access to education and child protection. To ensure children have access to safe, child-friendly, protective and well-equipped learning environment children in Donetska NGCA will be supported with targeted IT equipment to enhance blended learning and to strengthen capacity of 50 educators in digital literacy. UNICEF will implement this project in partnership with several Implementing Partners (IP) who are best positioned in the area and strongly capacitated in specific activities. In Luhanska NGCA, UNICEF will partner with Water Research Fund for hard activities, as well as support of soft component in Child Protection. In Donetska NGCA, UNICEF will implement its activities through its longstanding partner Donbas Development Centre (DDC). Due to urgency of response and restrictions related to humanitarian convoy modalities, combination of local procurement in NGCA and procurement by UNICEF in GCA will be used where appropriate. The procurement will be done in the most effective time-saving manner using the most appropriate modalities and considering availability of quality products at local markets. Distribution of goods and project monitoring will be carried out in cooperation with IP and de-facto authorities. UNICEF has a presence in Donetska and Luhanska NGCA, experience of similar projects implementation and long-standing cooperation with de-facto authorities and Implementing Partners.
Access to critical services for people living in isolated communities or in settlements with protracted disruption of services through transportation of people to services and services to people The project is aimed to improve access to critical services for people living in targeted isolated communities/settlements with protracted disruption of services through transportation of people to services and services to people 

As a result of the recent protection monitoring conducted by Proliska, 88 settlements along the contact line with a total population of 19,755 have no regular public transportation and due to it, people living in these settlements have a barrier to use essential services. Among them, 15 settlements have dirt roads that create an additional barrier to provide transportation. The low mobility of social and medical workers influences their ability to provide services even in those settlements where their services are available.

In strong coordination with Adra, it is planned to cover identified settlements with regular routes of needed frequency. 

For regular social transportation, services of a local carrier for paved roads will be used, and Proliska all-wheel-drive off-road minibus will be used for dirt roads. In addition to regular routs to connect people living in isolated communities or in settlements with protracted disruption of services with economic and administrative hubs, it is planned needs based transportation of people with specific needs to specific services, for example, children with disabilities to a rehabilitation center. 
To transport services to people, 32  electric bicycles will be distributed to medical and social workers, as well as services will be transported by vehicles on a needs base.
All activities will be conducted taking into account ongoing decentralization reform and anti-covid measures.
Advocacy intervention will be conducted to encourage the eventual handover of responsibility to local authorities or the private sector.

NGO "Proliska" has been operating in Luhanska and Donetska oblasts since July 2014. Our organization has got many years of experience in implementing projects in the conflict zone: from 2016 to the present, we are the executive partners of UNHCR in 2019-20 we implemented 2 projects with UHF, in 2016-2018we were the executive partners of UNICEF, since 2019 we are the partners of the Ministry of Temporary Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced People. Currently, the organization has more than 130 employees who are members of the communities along the contact line’. Our employees are qualified specialists, having mainly 5 years of experience of work in the conflict zone. We have experience in transportation assistance on an individual case-to-case basis, of organization of social buses in isolated communities as community-based protection projects, of transportation of vulnerable people by electric vehicles at Stanitsa Luhanska crossing point, and of distribution of electric bicycles to community workers and volunteers to increase their mobility.
Multisectoral support for vulnerable populations (especially women) affected by the conflict in Eastern Ukraine This project is aimed at ensuring access to essential services for people living in the territory of military conflict and humanitarian crisis, and this population protection by implementing long-term solutions, strengthening the resilience of the affected population and ensuring access to livelihoods.

These goals will be implemented through the realization of following activities:
1) Provision of 10 PEP-kits — support for victims of violence with medications aimed at avoiding infection with STDs and physical rehabilitation. Raising the level of personal protection and dignity support for GBV survivors — increasing the accessibility of emergency kits through equipping the health care institutions with them
2) Equipment of changing tables and places of personal hygiene of women during feeding in 10 health care institutions — improvement of sanitary and hygienic conditions of breastfeeding and swaddling, as well as meeting the needs caused by the peculiarities of women during postpartum lactation and protection of the dignity of mothers and children visiting health care institutions
3) Support of existing repair teams in Novoazovskiy and Yasinovatskiy raions and the restoration of 80 housing facilities —repair teams have already proved to be an effective tool based on a community approach for the restoration of housing and social infrastructure facilities. Further support of repair teams in the Yasinovatskiy raion and scaling of this type of humanitarian aid to Novoazovskiy raion will increase the potential of communities to restore damage. The transferred construction materials will be used for the purpose of carrying out medium-sized repairs in the housing affected by the fighting
4) Hygienic assistance to prisoners, including a gender-specific component in the form of feminine hygiene products — prisons are institutions that are limited for humanitarian access, but the need for hygiene products for prisoners is significant, especially in the conditions of COVID-19. Another aspect is the shortage of feminine hygiene products, which entails the use of improvised means, such a strategy can lead to diseases
5) Equipment for improving the quality of services provided in 10 hospitals with an inpatient service— the provision of equipment for washing and cooking will allow patients who are on inpatient treatment to receive better services: food, washing. Also, the washing equipment will allow you to use soft equipment more effectively, reducing their wear and tear
6) Equipment for medical offices in schools and vaccination offices — the provision of furniture, soft equipment, and medical equipment will improve the quality of first aid provided at school and will improve the conditions of vaccination for children
7) 50 Grants for self-employment of the population — support for entrepreneurial initiatives of the affected population will reduce their dependence on humanitarian aid.

The duration of the project is 7 months. The planned number of beneficiaries is 24,175 people.
Humanitarian assistance to highly vulnerable conflict affected older people living in Donetska NGCA Under the planned project, PAH will cover the most acute needs of older people residing in Donetsk NGCA through provision of food, hygiene and winterization assistance. The project will last from 01 September 2021 till 28 February 2022. Project aims to cover the needs of older people during the harshest months of the winter season. The project will be implemented through local partner International Children’s Fund MIRA. In total 1700 older people (out whom approx. 850 older people with disabilities) planned to be covered under the project in the following locations - Dokuchayivsk, Khartzysk, Makiyivka (Chervonohvardiiskyi raion), Starobesheve, Kirovske, Olenivka, Lubivka, Zhdanivka, Andriyivka, Staromykhailivka and surrounding areas.

Also, each older person will receive a three-month hygiene kit. The most vulnerable older people with specific needs will receive adult diapers and urological pads. Moreover, 400 out of 1700 most vulnerable older people will receive heaters, while another 200 older people will receive warm clothes sets to ensure their access to essential winterization NFIs. The materials with the information on how to mitigate transmission of COVID-19 developed by WHO will be also provided to older people during the distribution of kits and winterization assistance and the main rules on how to avoid transmission of COVID-19 will be presented to them by Partners' field staff responsible for distributions.
Support for the most vulnerable children affected by the conflict in eastern Ukraine The project aims to support children living on NGCA who are negatively affected by the armed conflict. The project is intended to contribute to improving access to safe educational services, safe space, and awareness of mine safety. The project also provides targeted assistance to the most vulnerable children, with an emphasis on children with disabilities and chronic diseases, as part of the case management program. It is planned to achieve this goal within the following activities:
1)	Development and implementation in the educational process of interactive information materials, models to raise children`s (especially primary school and preschool age) awareness of the mine danger. Providing these materials to at least 200 educational institutions (kindergartens and schools) located near the demarcation line.                                              
2)	Support for 20 educational institutions (kindergartens and schools) in the following areas: 1) formation of a safe space: repair and restoration of bomb shelters in case of emergency evacuation, pasting windows with impact-resistant film, fencing the adjacent territory, installing fire shields, fire extinguishers 2) provision of technological equipment to improve the quality of educational services: industrial furnaces, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. 3) provision of computer equipment to improve access to distance education.                                                                                                                                  
3)	Launch of a case management system for the 100 most vulnerable children whose families are unable to meet the basic needs of their children. This program will function throughout the entire project and, thus, will allow to achieve qualitative and objectively observed changes. The average budget of each case of $ 1,200 will allow you to meet a wide range of basic and vital, but resource-intensive needs. In particular, we are talking about assistance for children who need medical equipment, clothing and shoes, medicines, housing rehabilitation, equipment for access to distance education and other specific needs. In addition, families can be provided with the necessary services: legal advice, psychologist, speech therapist, etc.                                                                                
The first two activities will be carried out within 6 months. The case management activity, with the aim of prioritizing the most needy children, as well as achieving a sustainable impact, is planned for 12 months.
