In-Kind Assistance

Programme Mission

To promote the fulfilment of the basic needs of individuals and support hromadas affected by the war and other humanitarian crises, including vulnerable population groups, by providing in-kind assistance and strengthening the capacity of hromadas and institutions for effective response, sustainable functioning, recovery, and development in crisis conditions.

Programme Vision

An environment where the basic material needs of the war-affected population are met timely and fairly, and hromadas and institutions have sustainable capacity for comprehensive humanitarian response, service provision to the affected population, and recovery and development.

The in-kind assistance programme aims to overcome the consequences of the war and humanitarian crises by meeting the basic material needs of the war-affected population, as well as supporting institutions and hromadas operating under high load conditions.

The programme responds to needs related to food, hygiene items, heating supplies for homes, and creating safe living conditions. A separate area of work includes supporting institutions with limited capacity to provide social and humanitarian services to the most vulnerable population groups.

Individual in-kind assistance involves providing people with non-food items, foodstuffs, hygiene products, dignity kits, solid fuel for passing the winter period, and other necessary goods.

Institutional in-kind assistance is aimed at supporting temporary accommodation sites, providers of social and humanitarian services, public and transit centres, as well as organs of state power and local self-government. This support may include the transfer of goods, equipment, institutional hygiene kits, alternative power sources, heating fuel, and other material aid.
