WFP IS ONE OF THE LARGEST ACTORS DISTRIBUTING CASH ASSISTANCE TO THE MOST VULNERABLE IN UKRAINE.
Since April 2022, WFP has provided cash transfers to people displaced and affected by the war, helping them meet their basic needs while supporting Ukraine’s economic recovery. WFP also assisted government safety nets, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Social Policy (MoSP).
Our approach
Rapid Response cash assistance
People experiencing direct shocks linked to the war, such as sudden displacement, receive at least three months of multipurpose cash transfers (UAH 3,600 - US$90 per month).
~2,000 people targeted per month
Market-based assistance
In areas where WFP previously distributed food assistance and where markets are recovering, WFP is now providing a monthly cash transfer of UAH 1,500 (US$40) to vulnerable families to help them buy food directly in the local markets.
~180,000 people targeted per month
Complementary cash transfers
WFP provides monthly cash transfers to pensioners and people with disabilities who receive less than UAH 3,250 (US$81) per month from the State, complementing their payment for at least four consecutive months. The payment from WFP is around UAH 635 (US$17) on average.
