Humanitarian assistance: only half (51%) of the collective sites (CSs) reported receiving humanitarian assistance in the 30 days prior to data collection, a decrease from the February-March Round (58%). СSs located in the Eastern and Northern hubs reported receiving aid in lower proportions than in other regions.
Humanitarian needs: reported needs appear to remain stable and include cleaning materials (75%), hygiene items (65%), food products (56%), site repairs (nonWASH) (52%), kitchen support (48%), WASH-related repairs (43%), washing and/or drying machines (35%).
Occupancy rate: the total average occupancy rate reportedly stood at 56%, meaning that CSs can accommodate additional IDPs if needed.
Risk of prolonged stay: 90% of the site managers reported that IDPs usually reside for three months or more in the CS.
Collective sites in educational facilities: 28% of the CSs accommodated in educational facilities (i.e., schools, kindergartens, dormitories) reported that education services were partially hindered due to hosting IDPs, and 11% claimed that it had a considerable impact on education services (up to their suspension).
The proportion of surveyed CSs set in schools and kindergartens decreased from 28% in December 2022 to 21% in April 2023.
Barriers to education: 30% of the CSs reported obstacles to access education for children, notably a lack of laptops (20% of CSs), lack of separate space dedicated to distance learning (16%), and lack of internet connection (6%). Schools and kindergartens with possibilities to enroll children were near (less than 30 min on public transport) 88% of the CSs.
Capacity building: Only 27% of site administrators completed trainings on CCCM and 16% on protection topics (e.g., protection mainstreaming, PSEA, and prevention of GBV); 61% reported having completed no training. Sumska (100% of the CSs), Rivnenska (94%), and Donetska (88%) oblasts were a particular concern.
Access to water: Only 87% of the CSs reported being connected to the municipal water system. 78% of the CSs stated that site residents had enough water for all needs including drinking, cooking, personal hygiene, laundry, and other domestic purposes. Five per cent (5%) of the CSs in Mykolaivska and Rivnenska, and 3% of the CSs in Lvivska oblast reportedly did not have enough water for any of those needs.
WASH CCCM Minimum Standards: 53% of the CSs reportedly did not conform to CCCM Minimum Standards regarding bathing facilities (1 per 8 residents) and 14% to those regarding toilets (1 per 20 residents).¹ The Eastern Hub showed the highest proportions in both regards (63% and 22%).
