Ukraine, Support to Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF)


The Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF), managed by UN OCHA, is a strategic tool available to pool donor contributions into a single fund enabling humanitarian partners to deliver timely, coordinated and principled assistance. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the UHF has proven its capacity to provide critical life-saving responses, maximizing available resources and leveraging strategic operational improvements such as localization or women leadership.

Das Projekt in Kürze
Hintergrund Over two years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine faces widespread destruction, displacement, and a severe humanitarian crisis, affecting over 14.6 million people in 2024. Needs are most acute in (north-)eastern and southern front-line areas, including occupied territories. The nearly 4 million internally displaced people (IDPs) face increased poverty and protection risks, especially those in collective sites. The crisis has strained Ukraine’s economy, heightened poverty, and caused trauma, especially among vulnerable groups such as women, children, and people with disabilities. Ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure heighten the risk of severe winter hardships and further civilian displacement.
Ziele Address critical humanitarian needs in Ukraine, focusing on front-line and hard-to-reach areas, supporting vulnerable populations, and strengthening the role of local organizations in aid delivery through the provision of timely and flexible funding.
Zielgruppen Internally displaced people, non-displaced war affected people and returnees, focusing on vulnerable groups including women, children, and persons with disabilities. The number of targeted people is adjusted annually depending on context development and available funding. The first standard allocation of 2024 targets 592’000 people, including 358’000 women and children; the 2024 Winter Response reserve allocation ($66Mio) targets 116’000 people; the second reserve allocation ($20Mio) targets urgent gap of local organizations conducting civilians’ evacuations.
