UNHCR’s Protection Response

▪ The protection response by UNHCR and our partners provides tailored support to those most in need, aims to strengthen inclusive national systems and services, and encourages the participation of internally displaced people (IDPs) and returnees in decisions that affect them.

▪ Our protection response complements, reinforces and strengthens the capacity of national protection services to serve the growing population in need, in line with the Memoranda of Understanding with relevant Ministries and Oblast authorities.

▪ In implementing our protection response, we work directly with communities, including our network of some 550 community-based organizations and initiatives, some 100 IDP Councils and predominantly local NGO partners. In 2025, 13 out of 14 UNHCR funded partners were Ukrainian NGOs.
