Executive Summary
Since the start of the international armed conflict in Ukraine, which has forced some 5.8 million people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance across Europe, more than 4.5 million border crossings into Romania have been recorded. The Government and partners, including civil society, the private sector, volunteers, and international organizations have responded to the crisis with generosity and hospitality. UN agencies and NGOs, support the national response in coordination of humanitarian actors under the framework of the Refugee Response Plan (RRP) and through the Refugee Coordination Forum (RCF) and sector working groups.
The 2023 Romania RRP is aligned with the Government National Plan of Measures (NPM) for the protection and inclusion of refugees from Ukraine. UNHCR is leading the Inter-Agency platform comprising of 34 appealing partners implementing humanitarian activities for the refugees from Ukraine.
Since the first RRP was launched in 2022, the response in Romania has continued to adapt to the context on the ground to better serve the needs of the target populations. Recognizing the importance of finding new and innovative solutions to address emerging issues and challenges, stakeholders at all levels have maintained a spirit of cooperation and collaboration to best serve the concerned populations.
Throughout 2023, the Inter-Agency Coordination Unit has highlighted RRP partner projects in Romania and identified some best practices and lessons which highlight innovation, collaborative efforts and coordination to meet the needs of the most vulnerable populations throughout the country. This document details the projects highlighted in the Inter Agency Situational Report during 2023.
