A MHPSS AND PROTECTION PROGRAM MANAGER

Votre environnement de travail

Over two years after the escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine, a total of 7.6 million Ukrainian refugees remain overseas and a further 5.1 million remain internally displaced in Ukraine. Currently, an estimated 17.6 million people within Ukraine require humanitarian assistance, including the need of food, water and medicines.

5,796,748 refugees have crossed the Polish border, 591,947 refugees have crossed the Moldavian border and 1,127,998 refugees the Romanian border.  
This situation has led ACF France to open Country Offices, in Ukraine, Poland and Romania and ACF Spain in Moldova.   

ACF has deployed a regional multi-sectorial strategy through direct implementation and partnership. Core activities are Food Security & Livelihood (canned and dry food distribution, hot meals, cash) and Mental Health & Care Practices (psychosocial support, PFA training, Baby Friendly Space, psychiatric referrals). Additionally, in Ukraine the strategy also includes WASH activities (rehabilitation/repair of centralized water and sanitation networks, minor repair of Collective/Transit Centers, emergency Water supply and hygiene kit distribution) as well as Health & Nutrition (primary health care structures support including provision of medicines and trainings). 

In Ukraine ACF currently intervenes in the East (Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumska and Zapporizhzhia).
