Durable solutions for targeted conflict affected communities to ensure access to essential services The goal of the project is to empower the target communities located along the contact line in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, which are affected by the conflict, through the establishment or upgrading of community centres that will provide or improve access to basic services for people living in these communities and displaced population, such as: health care, psychosocial support, education, water and sanitation, social services, etc.

After February 24, 2022, due to the full-scale armed conflict in Ukraine, the context of humanitarian needs has changed dramatically, the territories of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts were occupied or became an area of active hostilities.

As part of the emergency response, it was planned, agreed and implemented:
	Transportation of humanitarian aid provided free of charge by private donors, including donations from abroad, for people who stay in the war zone (Kharkiv and Donetsk oblasts)
	Ensuring the continuous functioning of care facilities for the elderly and people with disabilities during electricity outages by purchasing fuel for electric generators (Donetsk oblast)
	Evacuation of the population from the war zone (Kharkiv oblast)
	Procurement of tools to rescue civilians from destroyed buildings (Kharkiv oblast)
	Procurement of medicines and medical supplies for the "Primary Health Care Center" in Chasiv Yar (Donetsk oblast). 

NGO "Proliska" plans to continue supporting the affected population within the current project through the following activities:
	Procurement and renovation of premises in safe areas of Ukraine for vulnerable elderly people and people with disabilities, residents of private care facilities who have been evacuated from the area of active hostilities. Through this activity, protection for the 150 most vulnerable elderly people from these institutions will be ensured, adequate conditions and care for these beneficiaries will be provided.  In the future, the institutions will be able to increase the number of beneficiaries - both IDPs and vulnerable people from the host communities
	Procurement and installation of equipment (computers and furniture) for four collective centers for IDPs (Dnipro and Kharkiv). The purchased items will improve access to education for IDPs children and improve access to information for displaced adults.

In total, some 20 thousand people will directly benefit from improved access to services.
