Providing humanitarian assistance in preparation for winter to people affected by hostilities ltpgtIt is planned to implement the project in the uncontrolled territory of the Donetsk region.ltbrgtThe project locations are identified: Luhanske, Novoluhanske of the Svitlodarsk community and the city of Avdiivka, Pokrovsk area.ltbrgtAs part of the ongoing military conflict, these settlements now belong to the NGCA of the Donetsk region and were damaged as a result of hostilities. In Novoluhanske (where 700 people will continue to live) all buildings suffered various damages. Novoluhanske and Luhanske (where 1,486 people continue to live) remain without electricity, water and gas. In populated areas there are no shops or pharmacies, no public transport.ltbrgtA similar situation is in Avdiivka (637 people continue to live there), where 98% of the residential sector was destroyed. Despite the extremely acute humanitarian situation there, there is a tendency for residents to return to these locations.ltbrgtThe following activities are planned to be implemented:ltbrgt1. Provision of solid household fuel. 665 households located in the Donetsk NGCA, Bakhmut area, Svitlodarsk community will be provided with 3 tons of coal. Novoluhanske – 200 HH. Luhanske – 465 HH. These locations are in isolated areas where solid fuel heaters are used. Because of the conflict monetary approaches do not suit the local context and the only available way of implementation is the distribution of humanitarian assistance in kind. Before the start of distribution, potential beneficiaries will be verified. To provide assistance in the form of solid fuel, households that have not suffered critical damage and are able to retain heat will be selected. ltbrgt2. Provision of solid fuel heaters (stoves). 60 households located in Avdiivka (in the Donetsk NGCA, Pokrovsk area, Avdiivka community) and 50 HHs located in the Novoluhanske (in the Donetsk NGCA, Bakhmut area, Svitlodarsk community) will each receive 1 solid fuel heater (potbelly stoves will be purchased, which can be heated with both coal and wood). In total, 110 solid fuel heaters will be provided as part of the project.Solid fuel stoves (with the option of heating with wood) are energy-sufficient and economical. These appliances are safer than other options due to the risk of fire and the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Potbelly stoves will be provided to people who have returned to their places of permanent residence, previously did not have stove heating, and currently do not have a centralized heating supply (live in an apartment building). Also, when issuing potbelly stoves, at the verification stage the possibility of removing the chimney from residential premises will be taken into account to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. The potbelly stoves will be installed by specialists, whose services will be paid for and supervised by HADC.ltbrgt3. Insulation of non-standard houses by providing insulation kits. 200 HHs located in the Novoluhanske (in the Donetsk NGCA, Bakhmut area, Svitlodarsk community) will each receive 1 set of insulation materials. A total of 200 such kits will be provided as part of the project. The kits will be provided to households who receive coal, but based on verification results it was determined that their homes require additional thermal insulation to maintain temperature conditions in the winter.ltbrgtThe project is designed for 6 months of implementation. The total project budget is $998,405.41 of which $901,872 is the cost of humanitarian assistance, $96533.41 is project support costs, including operating expenses and staff costs.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbrgtHADC confirms its ability to manage its bank account in the territory controlled by Ukraine. All settlements within the framework of the project, as well as before the escalation of the conflict, will be carried out by bank transfer, within the framework of Ukrainian jurisdiction.ltbrgtAll actions within the framework of this project will be coordinated with the Shelter Cluster, as well as with representatives of the de facto authorities, in particular with the social institutions.ltbrgtlt/pgt
