Agreement Value:
$5,000,000.00
Agreement Date:
Aug 14, 2023 - Jul 31, 2024
Description:
June 6, 2023 - Explosions at the Kakhovka dam destroyed the hydroelectric structure and caused large-scale flooding along the lower Dnipro River due to the water release from the Kakhovka reservoir. This has left 40,000 people affected by flooding requiring essential sanitation and hygiene services, and lack of access to water by 700,000 people dependent on the Kakhovka reservoir .
UNICEF has launched emergency response activities in Khersonska, Mykolaivska, and Dnipropetrovska oblasts in flood-affected and frontline areas for a year. With GAC’s support, UNICEF will reach 500,000 people affected by the destruction of the Kakhovka dam. Project activities include: (1) providing emergency water trucking; (2) providing water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) supplies such as bottled water, hygiene kits, water tanks and water purification consumables; (3) conducting small-scale, emergency rehabilitation of WASH infrastructure; (4) providing child protection services; and (5) providing mental health and psychosocial support services.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased ability of affected women, men, girls and boys to obtain WASH items; (2) improved equitable access to WASH services for flood-affected populations; (3) increased equitable access to psychosocial services for flood-affected populations; and (4) increased access to protection services for affected girls and boys.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crisis or facing acute food insecurity.
