  • Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk Oblast) 22 October 2015
    General Coordination Meeting – Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk Oblast) 22 October 2015 Discussion Action Points/Decisions 1. Update of the current humanitarian situation in Oblast from LOMCA, UN OCHA and SES UN OCHA representative thanked the partners for active participation in HNO workshop held in Sievierodonetsk and announced that the results would be shared once the report is finalized and approved. There were further discussions of the Updated Temporary Order for control over the movement of persons, vehicles and cargos (goods) across the contact line within Donetska and Luhanska Oblasts in terms of its practical application and these discussions brought out many issues. There are certain regulations with unclear implementation mechanisms e.g. how to deliver cargos from Luhanska Oblast where no staging areas are planned to be arranged. On the other hand even while these staging areas are not arranged in Donetska Oblast, the National Fiscal Service of Ukraine (NFSU) and Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) expressed their willingness to facilitate movement of the humanitarian cargo. OSCE SMM reports are being regularly shared with the cluster leads and focal points in the field as it was agreed before for the partners to respond to the needs identified locally. It was noted that OSCE SMM reports continue having a lot of information about mined areas or UXOs present in the residential areas. The partners were again requested to provide information about their activities and plans in order to avoid duplication and to identify the gaps. Deputy Chief of Luhansk Department of SES informed that they helped LOMCA to receive and distribute the humanitarian aid (40 tons of food) from the State Reserve Fund.

Cover: June 4, 2013, Spartak, Ukraine: June 2021 Unexploded ordnances in Eastern Ukraine continue to cause harm to civilians. T +1 202 558 6958 E [email protected] civiliansinconflict.org ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilians affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honoring Marla’s legacy, CIVIC has kept an unflinching focus on the protection of civilians in conflict. Today, CIVIC has a presence in conflict zones and key capitals throughout the world where it collaborates with civilians to bring their protection concerns directly to those in power, engages with armed actors to reduce the harm they cause to civilian populations, and advises governments and multinational bodies on how to make life-saving and lasting policy changes. CIVIC’s strength is its proven approach and record of improving protection outcomes for civilians by working directly with conflict-affected communities and armed actors. At CIVIC, we believe civilians are not “collateral damage” and civilian harm is not an unavoidable consequence of conflict—civilian harm can and must be prevented.

INTRODUCTION The demarcation line (the line of contact)1 and the ‘grey zone’ between the government-controlled2 and uncontrolled territories3 of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions separates the parties to the conflict in the east of Ukraine. The areas controlled by the Ukrainian authorities and bordering the ‘grey zone’ are very politically sensitive, highly militarised, and fall under a special governance regime that is different from the rest of the country. In the absence of a comprehensive political settlement and amid uncertain prospects, it is unclear how long this situation will remain. It is highly likely that over the next few years, Ukrainians in areas adjacent to the contact line will live under very particular and unusual governance structures, and in varying degrees of danger.

  • UNHCR Q & a Related to Measures Introduced in Response to COVID
    UNHCR Q & A related to measures introduced in response to COVID-19 outbreak in Ukraine Draft This document has been prepared to answer the most frequent questions that arise among internally displaced persons regarding quarantine measures and their impact. The answers are based on the legislative and normative measures adopted by the Government, separate ministries and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. More information is available at their respective web pages. Requests for additional information and complaints can be addressed to the governmental hotline or hotlines of different organizations, whose contacts are provided as well. 1. I am an IDP from Alchevsk residing in Sievierodonetsk. My mother stays in Alchevsk. In early March, I visited her and could not leave NGCA before introduction of quarantine measures. Now I am locked in Alchevsk as checkpoints are closed. I am afraid that in case quarantine is prolonged, my IDP certificate will be revoked and I will lose my targeted assistance and other benefits. What shall I do? Indeed, in a regular situation, in case an IDP is absent at the controlled part of the territory for 60 days or more, his/her IDP registration is cancelled and IDP certificate is revoked. However, the Government of Ukraine adopted a decision that during quarantine measures and 30 days after they are lifted IDP certificates would not be cancelled. Moreover, staying in NGCA for this period will not be counted into 60 days’ term. Your IDP targeted assistance will be allocated on your bank account. More information on the issue of social assistance is available on the web page of the Ministry of Social Policy here: https://www.msp.gov.ua/news/18396.html Complaints with regard to access to social benefits can be addressed to the Government’s hotline 15- 45.

  • IREX Methodology for Citizen Engagement with the Reform Process
    IREX MEthodology foR CItIzEn EngagEMEnt wIth thE REfoRM PRoCEss developed for the Ministry of Internal affairs of Ukraine - national Police Reform the project is funded by the U.s. department of state’s Bureau of International narcotics and law Enforcement (Inl) and implemented in partnership with the International development law organization (Idlo) and in close cooperation with the Ministry of Internal affairs of Ukraine. PURPosE of MEthodology: Provide step by step guidance on how to build partnership relationships between citizens and the reformed government/public service by changing attitudes and behaviors through provision of relevant information and demonstration of the value of cooperation. logICal fRaMEwoRK: In each community, government representatives, citizens (broadly defined and inclusive of civil society, entrepreneurs, activists), and media are all stakeholders and participants in the reform process. For reform success and effectiveness, they need to be engaged in a participatory and meaningful way that would allow to overcome stereotypes and prejudices and to build trust and productive relationship. This can be achieved through conversations around issues of mutual concern facilitated at neutral platforms which provide timely and relevant information about reforms and help establish effective and useful interaction patterns between stakeholders. Trust-building and objective useful information will lead to attitude change. This, reinforced by interactions around issues of mutual concern will facilitate positive behavior change resulting in new relationship and dynamics and successful reform effort. IREX, within the Citizen Engagement and Reform Communication project, engages libraries and other civic platforms to establish cooperation between citizens, mass media, and patrol police. the project works in all regions of Ukraine with particular focus on the cities of Kramatorsk, sloviansk, Mariupol, severodonetsk, Rubizhne, lysychansk, Kropivnytskiy, vinnitsa, Chernihiv, Ivano-frankivsk, Uzhgorod, and Mukachevo.
