Vrijwillige geoormerkte bijdrage voor IOM project 'Enhancing the resilience and recovery of Ukraine's war-affected communities through area

On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a broad military offensive against Ukraine and the humanitarian situation in the country quickly deteriorated. Almost half of the Ukrainian population needs humanitarian assistance as winter is setting in. This is compounded by an ongoing campaign of missile attacks on critical infrastructure, including on power generation facilities, which is exacerbating the crisis. While active hostilities continue in large parts of the country and the humanitarian needs are immense, a parallel recovery process has started and communities that have experienced major displacement and return processes continue to require substantial assistance.

Through this project, IOM aims to advance the recovery process and progress toward durable solutions through the rehabilitation of social infrastructure in communities which have suffered extensive damage to public and private buildings as well as to critical community infrastructure.

IOM significantly strengthened the resilience and recovery of displacement affected communities in Ukraine by improving living conditions and access to basic services (92% reported higher resilience, 90% better access). Over 83,000 people directly benefited (shelter, social cohesion, and WASH), with an additional ~58,000 indirectly supported. Investments were also made in data analysis, coordination, and critical infrastructure. The project contributes to international frameworks such as the Global Compact for Migration and the SDGs (especially health and water/sanitation).
