DEC CCD Collective Initiatives

CCD and SC along with their listed partners (DCA, AAH and SC Ukraine) will deliver a pilot programme to strengthen capacities of local actors in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, which will be implemented alongside the existing Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) response operations of the project partners in Ukraine, Poland, and Romania, in line with DEC’s ambidextrous strategy. The pilot will select existing local/national NGO partners, community groups, and local government ministries and agencies, based on set criteria, to whom partners will provide institutional and technical capacity building, and direct funding to design and implement CVA programmes. SC and partners will collaborate with each other under the supervision of CCD throughout the programme cycle to ensure best practice in partnerships practice is deployed to implement four distinct models of disintermediation and local actor led CVA response and capture systematic learning with the goal of scaling the tested models in Ukraine or in other humanitarian crises around the world
