Please see the Ukraine Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2025 AND the Re-prioritized HNRP, released in April 2025 for specifics regarding objectives and targets. It is assumed that Many-Most operations will have been negatively impacted by the destruction of USAID, directly or indirectly.
The infographic now has the option to view the numbers based on the Reprioritized HNRP or the General Planned Reach (original). I’ve converted previous months’ numbers to the Reprioritized and that’s what I’ll be using moving forward.
According to the 2025 HNRP, these Oblasts make up the line of most severe need: Dnipropetrovka, Donetska, Kharkivska, Khersonska and Zaporizka. Reprioritization reductions, based on geography are mostly within the WASH, Education and Protection Clusters. Food Security and Livelihoods, made reductions in planned reach, in all Oblasts. (See link below for the full report)
Overall
% Reached is at 46% of Prioritized Reach, based on the new Planned Reach outlined in the Reprioritized 2025 HNRP. Cumulative reach is at 2.2 mil, compared to 5.1 mil in April 2024.
Monthly New Reach continues to dramatically outpace, New Reach in 2024, despite funding reductions and workforce cuts.
Overall reach, in the Most Severe Needs Oblasts, is at 49% as of April. 81% of overall New Reach is also happening in these Oblasts. Significantly better New Reach than in previous years.
Performance by Cluster
Because of the change to “Prioritized” numbers, Month over Month comparisons will start next month.
CCCM has the best performance at 69%, followed by Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL) at 67% and WASH at 49%
The Clusters with the largest target numbers for 2025 (Bold) are WASH, Health, Shelter/NFI, General Protection and FSL. Improvements in these Clusters will have a more powerful impact on overall Reach.
Funding by Cluster
The Clusters in bold are those with the highest Planned Reach. Funding for the top 5 Clusters ranges from 4% (WASH) to 31% (HEALTH).
Activities along the line of Most Severe Need
These are the top 10 activities along the line of Most Severe Need by Planned Reach Prioritized.
The higher the Planned Reach, the greater the impact of improvement.
FSL is still leveraging its logistics foundation with Provision of agricultural inputs (81%) and Distribution of in-kind food assistance (77%) are the highest performing activities. WASH activities Water & waste-water systems (53%) and District heating systems (31%) coming in next.
Top 20 “Not Reached” Activities on the Line of Most Severe Need
My hope is that this will be helpful for planners and grant writers. Surely projects that target the biggest gaps will add some extra points to the funding equations.
Methodology: I subtracted the Individuals Reached from the Target, then sorted Largest to Smallest. This list represents 79% of the individuals Not reached.
The activities highlighted in Green are cash/voucher activities. Efforts to improve delivery of cash/voucher support are a big part of the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan. Organizations in various clusters have done some research and have a lot of tools for improving performance in 2025. (See the 2025 HNRP for details)
