ACTED has been present in Ukraine since 2015, responding to the emergency and longer-term needs of vulnerable, marginalized and conflict-affected populations living along the Line of Contact (LoC) in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. Over the past two years, ACTED has expanded its operations to Kharkiv, Kherson and the Sea of Azov region.
In 2021, ACTED has successfully implemented a dozen projects for a total portfolio of €14 million thanks to the commitment of its 150 field staff and the support of its international partners. With its longstanding presence in the field, its knowledge of the Ukrainian context and its expertise in emergency solutions, ACTED has the capacity to rapidly deploy emergency response and resources in all areas potentially affected by the conflict to assist vulnerable populations.
Since the conflict eruption in the rest of the country on 24 February 2022, ACTED is upscaling its activities to support affected people in conflict hotspots, displaced and evacuees across Ukraine, as well as refugee populations in neighbouring countries of central Europe.
