Description
1) Objective
The war in Ukraine has had drastic consequences, both for people inside the country and for those around the world dependent on its huge grain supplies. It has caused one of the fastest forced population movements since the Second World War. Close to 8 million Ukrainians are living as refugees across Europe, and another 5.3 million are internally displaced. Many are destitute, having lost their homes and livelihoods. As food production and supply lines are disrupted by fighting, many families in the east and south do not have reliable access to nutritious food. WFP uses a flexible mix of food and cash assistance to support vulnerable Ukrainians wherever they are. This includes working with local partners to distribute food rations in areas near the frontline, and providing cash transfers wherever people have access to banks and markets to buy food.
WFP reaches between 1 to 3 million Ukrainians every month with this critical assistance. Ukraine is usually one of the world’s major breadbaskets, producing enough food to feed 400 million people per year prior to the war. The war has drastically cut supplies for countries in acute need, while driving up food prices. WFP transports wheat grain from Ukraine to countries in need, which also provides an important boost to Ukraine’s economy. WFP emphasizes a localized approach, working through local partners, businesses, trade networks and institutions to support the Government and people of Ukraine.
Through this Call for Proposals, WFP is seeking to engage with a number of experienced Non-Governmental/Non-Profit Organizations who can support implementation of the Food Assistance via In-kind (IK) and Cash-Based Transfer (CBT) modalities for vulnerable populations in Ukraine for the period from 01 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 in selected oblasts of Ukraine.
