CO Relief Coordination Centre launches an updated version of the SSA Dashboard!
The SSA Dashboard (Sustainable Settlement Assessment Tool) is a platform that collects data on issues and needs at the community settlement level. Open information and systematic analysis help attract resources for implementing projects aimed at the recovery and development of village, settlement, and city councils.


The unique questionnaire consists of eight sections: a general description of the settlement, demographic and security indicators, logistics, urban and social infrastructure, recovery, and civil protection. Data verification is carried out through communication and collaboration with local authorities and territorial community administrations.


SSA is a user-friendly analytical tool that enables: 
-quick processing of large volumes of data;
-identification of critical issues;
-informed decision-making for development.
Using the SSA Dashboard significantly accelerates the process of recovery and development in communities.


Access to the dashboard is available after registering on the website.

The Transit Centre in Kharkiv Continues Its Uninterrupted Operation!
The Relief Coordination Centre, in cooperation with the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, representatives of the National Police, and local self-government bodies, continues to coordinate evacuation measures.
From the beginning of 2025 to April 1st, 2512 people have registered at the transit centre in the city of Kharkiv. People arrive here daily from the Kupiansk district and the Borova community of the Izium district.
Due to the deteriorating security situation in the Donetsk region and the complication of logistical routes, many evacuees from the Donetsk region are now also heading to Kharkiv.
Thanks to the coordinated joint efforts of state and non-governmental organizations, all evacuees are provided with medical and humanitarian aid, including non-food items, psychological support, legal consultations, and financial assistance.


Sixteen organizations operate at the transit centre, each responsible for a specific area. We sincerely thank everyone who continues to work towards a common goal. Helping evacuees is the manifestation of humanity.

The RCC, in partnership with Nonviolent Peaceforce and the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF), is implementing the STEEL consolidated evacuation group project.
The STEEL, a consortium of charitable organizations, brings together volunteers with many years of experience in conducting evacuation missions. Our goal is to increase efficiency in the charitable sector.
All consortium members have undergone training at a specialized training center, where they gained important knowledge in tactical medicine, mine safety, and counter-emergency driving of armored vehicles.


Evacuation missions will be carried out in REFORM PLB6 armored vehicles based on the Peugeot Landtrek pickup truck (B6 protection class). This practice will be extended to the frontline areas of Kharkiv and Donetsk regions where there is a need.

With the support of our partners, we continue the implementation of the volunteer insurance project.
Volunteering plays a crucial role in the implementation of humanitarian initiatives.
However, while performing their duties, volunteers often find themselves in situations that may pose a threat to their health and lives.


Over the past year, with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation of the Swiss Embassy in Ukraine, we were able to insure 2,550 volunteers from over 110 charitable and public organizations in the Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. During this period, more than 38 insurance cases were recorded, with the total amount of payments exceeding UAH 990,300.00.
These data emphasize the importance of insurance to ensure the safety of volunteers during their activities.


This year, the CO RCC, with the support of partners, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) Embassy of Switzerland in Ukraine, and the CO CF Team4UA (with the financial support of the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF)) continue to


implement the volunteer insurance project.
