The Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine and the Charitable Organization Relief Coordination Centre sign a Memorandum of Cooperation
The Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine together with the Charitable Organization Relief Coordination Centre (RCC), have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation. The key goal is to develop a partnership and use the analytical data from the RCC to coordinate evacuation processes in eastern Ukraine.
The collaboration will include:
Providing the Ministry with up-to-date information on the dynamics of evacuation at Transit Centers.
Using analytical data to make timely management decisions.
Strengthening coordination between government structures and humanitarian organizations.
 
The response from the state and the charitable sector to the biggest challenge of the war: mass evacuations
Today, Ukraine is facing one of its most serious challenges, with a significant increase in evacuation dynamics in the East. Every day, thousands of people are forced to leave their homes due to military actions and danger. The greatest pain and concern for these people is uncertainty, as they don’t know where they will be able to stay, who will support them in the first days, and whether they will be left alone with their vulnerability. This partnership should become a new stage in the development of a systematic approach to supporting people forced to leave their homes, as well as a milestone for the entire charitable sector in Ukraine.
Yevhen Koliada, who chairs the Relief Coordination Centre, explained the organization’s main goal, stating:
Our main mission is to help those who are forced to evacuate. And our main task is to help the state and the international humanitarian community make the evacuation process fast, safe, and dignified. We want every person who has been forced to leave their home to receive not only a sense of support but also confidence in tomorrow. This is why we are also developing digital solutions that have already proven their effectiveness and help to improve the coordination of evacuation missions, bringing together the efforts of the state, the humanitarian sector, and international partners.

analyze the dynamics of population displacement from frontline areas;
make faster decisions and allocate resources more efficiently;
ensure transparent coordination among all involved organizations.

Data and Analysis for International Humanitarian Response
The Charitable Organization “Relief Coordination Centre” systematically publishes reports on ReliefWeb — the leading humanitarian information platform managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). ReliefWeb enables humanitarian organizations to transparently share their activities, statistical reporting, situational assessments, and analytical insights.
As of today, RCC has published 12 reports on the platform.
We actively collaborate with a wide range of local and international partners. Our team systematically collects, verifies, and analyzes data related to humanitarian needs of affected populations, the condition of community infrastructure, access to basic services, and ongoing or planned humanitarian interventions in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions. Based on this information, we develop comprehensive analytical products that form the basis for our reporting.


Our publications on ReliefWeb also serve an advocacy function — raising awareness of urgent humanitarian issues at the international level and highlighting the critical role of local organizations in crisis response. The reports include verified data, case studies, and practical recommendations, offering valuable insights for donors, humanitarian actors, and other stakeholders.

Protecting Volunteers — Daily and Systematically
As of early May, 708 volunteers have been insured, including 357 men and 351 women. The initiative has already been joined by 42 organizations from the Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy regions, whose representatives have received appropriate coverage.
The process is ongoing, as this remains one of the key mechanisms for ensuring the safety of those working in high-risk conditions and providing daily support to civilians.


Volunteers who have already completed the insurance process emphasize its practical value as a tangible form of support while carrying out humanitarian missions.
