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

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.
