About the Ukrainian Programme of People in Need: PIN has been working in Ukraine since 2014, providing emergency relief and early recovery support to conflict-affected communities in Government Controlled Areas (GCA) and Non-government control areas (NGCA). Due to the escalation of the war in 2022, programmes for war-affected communities focus mainly on WASH, Shelter, Protection, including recovery, among other pressing needs. PIN’s contribution to the Ukrainian humanitarian response is amongst the largest, with an annual turnover of close to $100 million, engaging full-time staff members across Ukraine. About the Role: Background and Context: Ukraine continues to face a large-scale humanitarian crisis, with heavy destruction of housing and infrastructure due to ongoing conflict. In eastern Ukraine, including Kharkivska Oblast, the needs for shelter and non-food items (NFI) are among the most acute – an estimated 2.5 million homes have been damaged or destroyed nationwide, with Kharkivska among the oblasts suffering the heaviest damage from shelling and fighting. In 2025, approximately 6.9 million people in Ukraine were projected to need shelter assistance, with a significant portion in eastern regions such as Kharkiv. This high level of need necessitates strong coordination of the shelter response at both national and sub-national levels. The humanitarian Shelter/NFI Cluster in Ukraine is led by UNHCR under the Inter-Agency Standing Committee cluster approach, coordinating the efforts of UN agencies, NGOs, and other partners to ensure effective shelter and NFI assistance. People in Need (PIN), a humanitarian NGO active in Ukraine, has been co-chairing shelter coordination in Ukraine since 2015 and led coordination in the East previously, to strengthen the cluster’s reach and effectiveness.
