The Ukraine Emergency
Mercy Corps’ Ukraine crisis response seeks to meet the humanitarian needs of vulnerable Ukrainians and other conflict-affected people where they are: displaced inside Ukraine, refugees in Poland, Romania and Moldova, or trapped behind frontlines. We aim to reach 500,000 vulnerable people with multi-purpose cash assistance, in-kind humanitarian support, and protection services across four countries. Almost all of our impact will be delivered in partnership: with Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian and Moldovan civil society organizations through a granting program that matches humanitarian action with capacity strengthening, and with peer international NGOs through a consortium in Ukraine. Mercy Corps is responding to the Ukraine crisis with large-scale consortium programming with a focus on Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA). The Consortium is a partnership between four international humanitarian aid agencies to model and deliver innovative, effective cash and other humanitarian assistance programs to support people affected by the Ukraine crisis within Ukraine.
The Ukraine Cash Consortium Unit
The Ukraine Cash Consortium Unit is a small team of leaders that are funded through the BHA award to represent and lead the consortium. This means equally representing the member organizations of the consortium and coordinating their work to achieve the objectives of the Ukraine Cash Consortium, as articulated in the award agreement. Although Mercy Corps is leading the recruitment and administration of these UCC unit positions, the positions and their work should advocate in the best interest of the consortium and its objectives.
General Position Summary
