About

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is inviting applications for a programme aimed at delivering emergency shelter and housing assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and war-affected populations in Ukraine, specifically in Vinnytsya and Cherkasy Oblasts.

This initiative focuses on improving access to safe, adequate, and affordable housing, while also ensuring the availability of essential social services linked to shelter and documentation. It supports a wide range of activities, including emergency shelter provision, housing construction and reconstruction, and the development of durable accommodation solutions.

In addition, the programme integrates protection services such as the identification, registration, and profiling of vulnerable individuals. It emphasizes accurate beneficiary data management, including verification and validation processes, to ensure targeted and effective assistance delivery. Services will be provided through both mobile and static platforms, enabling broader outreach and accessibility.

A key component of the initiative is strengthening community engagement by promoting participation and feedback from affected populations, as well as ensuring proper referral pathways to specialized protection services. The programme also prioritizes coordination among stakeholders to ensure efficient and impactful implementation across all activities.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants are organizations capable of implementing comprehensive shelter and protection programmes targeting displaced and conflict-affected populations. Applicants must demonstrate experience in areas such as emergency shelter support, housing construction or rehabilitation, and the delivery of protection services, including registration, profiling, and referral systems.
