ABOUT THE MISSION

The conflict in Ukraine has seen a dramatic and rapid escalation since 24th February 2022 with massive multidimensional attacks from Russian troops throughout Ukraine, from the East, North, and Southern borders that affected a large part of the country including the capital, Kyiv. This attack has been immediately followed by massive displacements, and more than 4 500 000 Ukrainians have taken refuge in neighboring countries. About 6 500 000 are internally displaced, mostly in the Western part of the country.

In the East, impacts of the conflict are felt and humanitarian operations support people remaining on the frontlines.

SI strategy is to support the population in transit, the IDPs where they are settling and the population on the frontline directly affected by the ongoing conflict through a multisectoral approach, including WaSH, Shelter, NFI, Food Security, and Multi-Sectoral Cash activities.

The coordination in Kyiv was the last base opened in the country,  prior to that SI opened and developed activities in bases. The mission is also supervising and supporting projects in Moldova with a base in Chisinau working for Ukrainian refugees and host communities.

Today the mission is composed of four bases; Dnipro, Mykholaiv, Kharkiv, Chisinau ( Moldavia) and one coordination at Kyiv. SI expects to support the Ukrainian population in both countries for an expected amount for 2024 of 20M EUR and supported by 5 donors : ECHO , BHA, CDCS, AFD and Pool Fund

The mission currently counts around 30 expatriates and 150 national employees.
