ATTENTION: If you have been enrolled in financial assistance of UAH 2,220/person/month from another UN agency/humanitarian organization, you cannot be enrolled in UNHCR financial assistance. This is the same type of assistance provided by different agencies and humanitarian organizations are coordinating to ensure that families/individuals cannot receive assistance multiple times or from different partners.
For IDPs who were already enrolled but have not yet received their assistance, they will receive their payments on the condition that they have not benefited from MPC assistance from another organization.
3. Enrollment modality
Persons of concern will be interviewed by UNHCR partners in the enrolment centers (addresses below) to ensure they meet the vulnerability criteria above.
Only if the person/family meets vulnerability criteria, will they be referred for enrolment in the cash assistance programme. During the enrolment, the data collection process will be conducted by UNHCR partner organization CF Right to Protection.
Those persons of concern who do not meet the vulnerability criteria for MPC will be informed already after the initial interview in the enrolment center by a relevant staff member.
Even if they are not eligible for MPC, all persons of concern can access UNHCR protection services available in the enrolment center including legal and psychosocial assistance free of charge.
If the household/person meets MPC vulnerability criteria, it/he/she will be referred for enrolment that envisages the collection of personal data on each household member.
A household is limited to the following members:
*his/her grandparents only if they are dependent; otherwise will be registered separately.
Other individuals who are not part of the list above should be members of another household even if they live together.
All members of the household should be present during the enrolment. In case a member of the family cannot come to the enrolment center due to limited mobility, the case will be referred to the remote enrolment organized by the partner.
