The ambition is for SI to build a recognized and demonstrable expertise in WASH and Shelter. The program strategy for 2025 therefore focuses on two core sectors—WASH and Shelter—and is structured around two strategic axes:1. Respond to both acute and chronic emergencies2. Contribute to creating the conditions for dignified return or sustainable stay in stable areas through a recovery-oriented approachTo maximize the impact of its interventions, SI aims to further enhance sectoral integration and promote localized approaches.In 2026, SI’s country program in Ukraine is expected to operate with a budget of approximately 10 million euros, with three field bases (Mykolaiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv), one coordination office in Kyiv, and a total of 110 staff, including around 20 expatriates.The main donors in 2026 will be, in order of funding volume: CDC, AFD, BHA, and ECHO.
