EU backs emergency support for local authorities in Ukraine

Ensuring emergency access to water supply, sanitation, energy, food, medical care and health goods is a critical challenge for thousands of local authorities across Ukraine. In order to help them, the IZOLYATSIA Foundation, with financial support from the European Union, has opened a response programme to help meet the immediate needs of the Ukrainian population caused by the war.

The following needs can be covered under the programme:

• arrangement of temporary shelter for IDPs: sleeping places, equipment for cooking, washing, arrangement of water supply and sewage;
• arrangement of centres with electricity for the civilian population;
• food and water (including animal feed);
• hygiene products;
• medicines, health products;
• services related to strengthening crisis response capacity, improving the security of war-affected populations and critical service providers.

The focus is on communities affected by the war, as well as host and transit communities:

• Communities most affected by the war: Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Luhansk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Chernihiv regions,
• Transit communities (including, but not limited to): Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia regions,
• Host communities (including, but not limited to): Volyn, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Chernivtsi regions.

Who can apply?
