UNHCR is working closely with the Government of Ukraine, in the framework of the National Recovery Plan, with local actors and with partners like IOM and UNDP to promote people and community-centered programs that help displaced people access housing repairs and support, assistance and livelihoods programs and basic services and other relevant support in their areas of return. UNHCR strives to ensure that our response is aligned with and complement the national social protection system and housing programmes. Local actors have extensive and long-standing experience in communities, with a substantive understanding of the needs, challenges and opportunities. Harnessing this expertise and learning from it is critical for UNHCR to deliver effective and sustainable programmes.
UNHCR’s overall financial requirements for the Ukraine situation response 2026 are $614 million. More details are available in UNHCR Ukraine Situation Appeal 2026. Specifically for UNHCR’s planned response in Ukraine, see UNHCR Ukraine Programme Summary 2026, and the interagency Ukraine Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2026.
