Emergency Food Security and Livelihoods Assistance to Conflict Affected Households in Ukraine - TCP/UKR/3901
The crisis in Ukraine reached alarming proportions. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimated a staggering 4.5 million people requiring urgent agricultural livelihoods support and food assistance, which represents a 2 000 percent increase since the onset of the crisis in February 2022. As the conflict continued to escalate, a humanitarian crisis especially in East Ukraine became dire. To address this, a project was designed to target the most vulnerable populations affected by the conflict, particularly those residing in rural areas of Donetsk and Luhansk oblast. These regions saw a significant deterioration in living conditions due to the ongoing conflict, resulting in higher unemployment rates and limited access to livelihood opportunities. Many households within 0 to 10 kilometers of the contact line were left grappling with food insecurity, resorting to backyard agriculture and livestock production to meet their basic nutritional needs.
