Ukraine Winter Response Plan, October 2024 - March 2025, Issued July 2024

This document gives an overview of the activities outlined in the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) to address specific humanitarian needs caused or exacerbated by the cold season in Ukraine in October 2024 to March 2025 in Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), Health, Livelihoods, Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI), Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services. It may also include, in some cases, a revision of the proposed activities and targets owing to the changes in needs. The number of people targeted and total funding required are part of the response prioritization and financial requirements of the HNRP and a further estimation to include the first three months of 2025. This Plan is developed in support of the efforts by the Government of Ukraine, including national, regional and local authorities. The clusters participating in the plan are tracking the funding available in 2024 against the overall financial requirements for the plan, and a breakdown will be provided with the first review of the plan.

The plan was developed at the beginning of July to support timely preparedness and response to winter-related humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable people and based on the information available. Additional assessments and planning, including through the ongoing Humanitarian Programme Cycle for 2025, will be carried out to inform the need to revise the key numbers before the winter period starts to ensure adequate response in the first months of 2025
