Key takeaway For eligibility, organizations need to follow multisectoral severity 4 and 5 and not severity per Strategic Priority.
Why this matters
The clarification on severity levels for the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund allocation has significant implications for partner organizations and their eligibility for funding. By prioritizing multisectoral severity 4 and 5 areas, the UHF is focusing on the most critical zones, including frontline areas within 0-50 km, which are updated regularly by OCHA. This definition affects the eligibility of various types of assistance, including UCT1, UCT2, and UCT3, with specific guidelines for each. For instance, UCT2 assistance is now cost-eligible only for supporting people evacuated from 0-20 km from the frontline, a narrower definition than the current Targeting UCT Framework. This change may impact the scope of projects that can be funded, and organizations will need to carefully review the revised eligibility criteria to ensure their programs align with the UHF's priorities. As the humanitarian situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, the accuracy of severity mapping and the resulting funding allocations will be crucial in addressing the most pressing needs.
