1 Overview:
Two focus group discussions were held with Protection and non-Protection partners involved in different stages of providing support to evacuees, being involved in the evacuation process itself or providing support at the Transit Center/Collective Sites. Additionally, interviews were held with the Relief Coordination Center (RCC) and CCCM Cluster at sub-national level. Focus group discussions and interviews were conducted in June, in Kharkiv. The findings should support the strengthening of identified gaps and good practices can be replicated in other similar contexts.
Increased deterioration of the security situation in Kharkivska oblast resulted in a larger number of IDPs arriving in Kharkiv city in May 2024.
