Background

In accordance with the organizational mandate and national development priorities of Ukraine, UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, implements a country programme of technical assistance to Ukraine for 2018-2022. The programme will seek to contribute to the empowerment of young people in the social, political and economic spheres of the country, and advance the cause of gender equality in all its dimensions.
Alongside this development work and driven by the humanitarian consequences of the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, UNFPA participates in the development and implementation of the annual Humanitarian Response Plans (HRPs) of the United Nations Humanitarian Country Team in Ukraine to provide support to internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, host communities and people who remain in the conflict areas. More specifically, UNFPA mostly contributes to the work of health and protection clusters within the HRPs and leads the gender-based violence (GBV) sub-cluster.
The UNFPA GBV programme presently covers eleven regions of Ukraine, including most affected by the armed conflict (Donetsk, and Lugansk) and focuses on the delivery of the following outputs:

Further development of social and institutional environment that will contribute to zero tolerance and eradication of violence against women in Ukraine;
Ensuring that in Ukraine majority of gender-based violence survivors seek and have access to good quality survivor centred services;
Contributing to building strong national (GoU) ownership over the existent GBV response mechanisms and frameworks in order to ensure sustainability.

It aims to contribute to peace, economic revitalisation and reconciliation in Eastern Ukraine through social and economic recovery, with special focus on Government Controlled Areas (GCAs) of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
