NRC has been present in Ukraine since 2014, assisting displaced and conflict-affected people and scaling up the response following the escalation of the conflict in February 2022. In 2025 NRC supported 340,000 people across Ukraine through the provision of legal aid, protection, education, shelter, livelihoods and multi-purpose cash assistance interventions. NRC works in areas with high severity of needs in the east, south and north of the country. NRC's programming also has a strong focus on localisation and partner-led implementation, aiming to strengthen the role of national and local actors in delivering humanitarian assistance.
Within this context, NRC participates in a consortium bringing together international and national partners to deliver cash-based assistance to conflict-affected populations across Ukraine. The consortium is supported by a dedicated Consortium Coordination Unit, led by the Consortium Manager, to ensure coherent, quality and accountable programme delivery across all members.
The first project under this consortium is a coordinated, complementary and harmonised unified cash transfer response, delivered by NRC, Acted and Right to Protection (R2P) alongside eleven sub-implementing partners. The project aims to supports people in meeting their basic needs across high-severity areas based on the Ukraine humanitarian response plan. Assistance addresses the immediate basic needs of vulnerable households close to the frontline, enables rapid emergency response to strikes and evacuations, and supports the most vulnerable internally displaced persons facing barriers to accessing government allowances. A harmonised division of responsibilities ensures each consortium member leads on a specific cross-cutting priority, promoting technical ownership, peer learning and consistent standards across all partners
