Since February 2022, the Russian invasion is causing massive destruction of houses and infrastructure in various parts on the frontline in Ukraine. To cover most urgent shelter needs, ZOA uses an integrated approach of both material and technical support. Wherever assessed feasible, cash for shelter assistance is used to appropriately provide material support.

This approach is used successfully in newly accessible parts of Kherson oblast and Chernihiv oblast. Speed, complementarity, efficiency and effectiveness are core strengths of ZOA’s people-centered cash for shelter approach. Besides, local markets and resources are used to achieve more impact.

This best practice paper provides a deeper insight and understanding about ZOA’s cash for shelter approach in Ukraine.
