CARE 4 Ukraine: Cash Assistance and Resilience for Ukraine
Caritas Switzerland (CACH) together with Caritas Ukraine (CUA) implement an integrated programme combining multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA) with mental health and psychosocial support to improve the resilience and protection of vulnerable internally displaced persons (IDP), host communities and returnees in central and southern parts of Ukraine. While CUA carries the main responsibility for the implementation of this cash assistance and resilience project, CACH provides technical support for the scale up of the response.

| Contexte | The military attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine has resulted in over 8 million internally displaced people (IDP) and almost 6 million people fleeing to find safety in neighboring countries. A further 13 million people are estimated to be stranded in conflict-affected or severly impacted newly accessible areas within Ukraine. The highest needs of the population include MPCA, food, shelter, protection, water, sanitation and hygiene as well as continued and safe access to medical and education services, and psychosocial support. According to recent general population surveys, financial support is the number one need of the IDP population and among those that are not displaced or having returned. Furthermore, the conflict-affected population is struggling to cope with physical and psychological trauma, as well as the socio-economic effects caused by the conflict situation. |
| Objectifs | To improve the resilience and protection of the vulnerable conflict-affected population in Ukraine. |
| Groupes cibles |
The intervention will target the conflict-affected vulnerable population in Ukraine, specifically: Displaced populations fleeing the conflict, in transit or settling in new locations, vulnerable returnees and host community households. |
