Volunteering integrated into the UNSDCF Results and Reporting Framework
Paragraph 1, page 4
Leave No One Behind and Social Inclusion: Communities in Ukraine have united behind grass-roots volunteer-led initiatives to support the Government’s response to the impact of the war and the significant displacement of people. The UN will strengthen its support to volunteer-led and community-based initiatives and also continue to support host communities to integrate IDPs, especially in the difficult winter months ahead, and promote the use of data to identify vulnerabilities, target geographic areas, and mitigate risks.
Paragraph 2, page 5
Localization Approach: Local volunteer-led initiatives, community-based organizations, and the Ukrainian private sector are at the forefront of the country’s response to the invasion and war. Engagement with local communities, national civil society, and local markets for procurement will be prioritized to ensure that local capacity and resources are not displaced or lost. Capacity-building of local partners will also be a central focus of interventions, with a particular emphasis on women’s and youth’s local organizations.
Paragraph 1, page 6
Result 2.1: National capacities are strengthened and use data for efficient crisis response and recovery planning. Indicative intervention areas: Institutional capacity development for national partners: The government’s strong response to the impact of the war has demonstrated that past investments in institutions have resulted in strong systems. The UN will continue to support government institutions and ministries to further grow capacity and adapt and adjust to the new challenging context. Key sectors targeted for support and institutional capacity development include security, justice, agriculture, education, health, social protection, and environment sectors. The focus of capacity strengthening will be on leading crisis management, emergency response and recovery planning and implementation. Government capacity for protecting and monitoring human rights and documenting violations, and implementing commitments under the Women, Peace and Security Agenda and Youth, Peace and Security Agenda, will also be supported as will strengthening capacity of local civil society and volunteer groups to participate and engage in emergency response and early recovery.
