BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH

REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

COUNTRY PROFILE

Following the escalation of conflict in Ukraine, beginning February 24th, 2022, military hostilities have caused widespread damage to infrastructure and houses, hundreds of civilian deaths, disrupted markets and essential services, and precipitated massive displacement in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, including Moldova. According to UNHCR data, over 700,000 refugees from Ukraine entered Moldova since the beginning of the displacement. Many of them continued their journey to Moldova and other European countries, while about 100,000 are estimated to be currently remaining in Moldova. The Moldovan authorities have hence set up 70 refugee accommodation centres (numbers of open centres have varied since) across the country, most of them hosting between 50 and 500 people each: for the most part for people that do not have ID papers or with limited financial resources. Since then, several of the centres stopped functioning as such. Despite the generous and rapid response of Moldavian authorities and civil society and given the scale of the crisis, these centres have limited hosting capacity, and are already overcrowded. The needs among the population arriving and placed in those hosting centres are hence growing, especially among children and women. Given themartial law and mobilization of men in the conscription age in the conflict in Ukraine, most of the displaced crossing into Moldova are women and children, and the conflict with its’ emotional burden has a heavy toll on the already at-risk individuals. REACH Initiative was established in Moldova to support the setup and scale-up of the assessment and analysis systems required to inform joint planning and monitoring by government and humanitarian actors in such a complex and rapidly evolving situation.

As the refugee crisis protracts, humanitarian interventions have lately been shifting towards mid- to long-term solutions for refugees, targeting the socio-economic inclusion of refugees in Moldova and within the host community, including the aim of integrating refugees within the existing social protection schemes. Notably, in alignment with other refugee-receiving countries, on 1 March 2023, Moldova made available the Temporary Protection status for Ukrainians and eligible Third-country Nationals, affording them the right to regularly remain on its territory. While refugees also have the option to regularize their stay by applying for asylum, with an already strained asylum system, the government has been strongly encouraging the TP avenue. This measure is meant to safeguard refugees' rights and access to essential services, such as education and healthcare.

Furthermore, the energy crisis and the mobilization of the humanitarian response in the country have shed light on the unaddressed needs of vulnerable Moldovans, underlining the critical importance of development-focused interventions. In fact, Moldova continues to be among the poorest countries in Europe. Consequently, supporting government reforms, including decentralization and EU integration, as well as implementing disaster risk reduction measures, remain of utmost importance.
