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 (when/as available) and that’s what I’ll be using moving forward. (Apologies for May: I mistakenly didn’t use Reprioritized numbers for some screen captures. I corrected everything for June.)
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 52% of Prioritized Reach, or 2.5 million, as of July. Monthly New Reach was 69k.
Overall reach, in the Most Severe Needs Oblasts, is at 55% in July, up from 54% in May . 61% of overall new reach, 42k, was in the Most Severe Needs Oblasts.
Performance by Cluster
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.
Child Protection (+9%) and General Protection (7%) were the biggest movers in July It appears that Multi-Purpose Cash is continuing to struggle.
Funding by Cluster
The Clusters in bold are those with the highest Planned Reach. Funding for the top 5 Clusters has improved since May, now ranging from 11% (WASH) to 51% (General Protection).
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.
The three biggest improvers June-July were all in WASH.
“WASH Interventions in institutions” had the biggest improvement over June at 7%.
Followed by “Emergency Water Supply” (5%) and “Water & waste water systems emergency support” (4%).
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. (Pareto Anaylisis-80/20 rule, seems to work)
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)
