Consultant for a Cash and Voucher assistance – Poland
Country : Poland
Starting date : 15/07/2022
Duration : 20 days
Source of funding : SUDOP
GENERAL CONTEXT
The large-scale attacks launched by Russia on February 24, 2022, triggered an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and neighboring countries. The United Nations estimates 18 million people to be affected in Ukraine and nearby countries. By the beginning of April 2022, more than 4 million people had already fled the country, 2,5 million of them crossed the Polish border.
Poland is now the country that receives the most refugees from Ukraine through about eight border crossings in the southeast of the country. Greeted and taken care of in dedicated reception centers, these refugees, mostly women and children, suffer from the fatigue caused by the journey and the psychological consequences of war and exile.
PUI is currently operating in the surrounding of Premysl a city close from the Ukrainian border. The current actions of PUI are mainly focusing on Mental health and psychosocial support as well as protection activities.
While expected return rates are still unclear, it seems that a large part of the current refugee population will settle for a longer time in Poland and therefore need assistance to sustain themselves on the long run and integrate in the local communities.
The humanitarian community identified CVA assistance as the preferred modality of intervention in the country as it seems that all conditions are there for this type of modality to be implemented in the country.
An active Cash working group is in Place in Poland since few months but the country never had to deal with a humanitarian crisis before and therefore a lot of information regarding CVA still need to be produced at a country level.
