Ukraine – Humanitarian aid – Save the Children Canada 2023

FY 2022-23 · 2023-03-27

Summary
March 2023 – Humanitarian needs in Ukraine continue to be significant. The 2023 Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) indicates 17.7 million people require humanitarian assistance in Ukraine this year. Priority needs result largely from attacks on energy and shelter infrastructure, which hampers access to water, food, health care, transportation, telecommunications, and other essential services. The war is impacting women and men in different ways and is exacerbating pre-existing inequalities. With GAC’s support, Save the Children Canada is supporting a two-year, integrated gender-responsive multi-purpose cash assistance and protection, including child protection and against sexual and gender-based violence, responding to life-saving basic and protection needs for IDPs, non-IDPs, and returnees in east Ukraine. Project activities include: (1) distributing multipurpose cash assistance and shelter top-up cash assistance to identified households; (2) providing age appropriate and gender responsive non-food items, including winterization items, to identified crisis affected households; (3) providing cash assistance to highly vulnerable households with child protection needs, to access gender-responsive services; (4) strengthening capacities of key child protection stakeholders’ to provide age and gender appropriate child protection services; (5) providing age and gender responsive child protection case management services to identified girls and boys; (6) enhancing awareness of protection risks and availability of protection services among crisis-affected communities, including through mobile teams; and (7) enhancing capacity of female and male community members on gendered protection risks.

Description (French)
Mars 2023 – Les besoins humanitaires en Ukraine restent importants. L’Aperçu Humanitaire Mondial 2023 (AHM) indique que 17,7 millions de personnes ont besoin d’une aide humanitaire en Ukraine cette année. Les besoins prioritaires résultent en grande partie des attaques contre les infrastructures énergétiques et d’hébergement, ce qui entrave l’accès à l’eau, à la nourriture, aux soins de santé, aux transports, aux télécommunications et à d’autres services essentiels. La guerre touche les femmes et les hommes de manière différente et exacerbe les inégalités préexistantes. Avec l’aide d’AMC, Save the Children Canada appuie un programme d’assistance et de protection en espèces, intégré et sensible au genre, d’une durée de deux ans, incluant la protection des enfants et contre la violence sexuelle et sexiste, répondant aux besoins vitaux de base et de protection des personnes déplacées à l’intérieur (PDI) de leur propre pays, des personnes non déplacées à l’intérieur de leur propre pays et des rapatriés dans l’est de l’Ukraine. Les activités du projet comprennent notamment : 1) distribution d’une aide financière polyvalente et d’une aide financière complémentaire pour les abris aux ménages identifiés; 2) fourniture d’articles non alimentaires adaptés à l’âge et au genre, y compris des articles d’hiver, aux ménages touchés par la crise identifiés; 3) fourniture d’une aide financière aux ménages très vulnérables ayant des besoins de protection de l’enfance, afin qu’ils puissent accéder à des services adaptés au sexe; 4) renforcer les capacités des principaux intervenants de la protection de l’enfance à fournir des services de protection de l’enfance adaptés à l’âge et au genre; 5) fournir des services de gestion des cas de protection de l’enfance adaptés à l’âge et au genre aux filles et aux garçons identifiés; 6) améliorer la sensibilisation aux risques de protection et à la disponibilité des services de protection parmi les communautés touchées par la crise, notamment par le biais d’équipes mobiles; 7) améliorer les capacités des membres féminins et masculins de la communauté sur les risques en matière de protection liés au genre.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved access to basic needs and services for crisis-affected households through multipurpose cash assistance and non-food items; (2) increased access to gender-responsive and age-appropriate child protection services for crisis- affected girls and boys, including under-aged and unaccompanied children and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence; (3) enhanced awareness of protection risks and availability of protection services among crisis-affected girls, boys, women and men; and (4) enhanced capacity of female and male community members, including parents and caregivers, to mitigate and respond to protection risks. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) amélioration de l’accès aux besoins et aux services de base pour les ménages touchés par la crise grâce à une aide financière polyvalente et à des articles non alimentaires; 2) amélioration de l’accès à des services de protection de l’enfance adaptés au sexe et à l’âge des filles et des garçons touchés par la crise, y compris les enfants mineurs et non accompagnés et les survivants de violences sexuelles et sexistes; 3) une meilleure sensibilisation aux risques de protection et à la disponibilité des services de protection parmi les filles, les garçons, les femmes et les hommes touchés par la crise; 4) renforcement de la capacité des membres féminins et masculins de la communauté, y compris les parents et les aide-soignant, à atténuer les risques en matière de protection et à y réagir. Le résultat escompté ultime consiste à sauver des vies, à atténuer les souffrances et à préserver la dignité humaine dans les pays aux prises avec des crises humanitaires ou l’insécurité alimentaire.
