The Programme Ukraine Crisis Response is currently operating in the Ukraine as well as in neighbouring countries providing emergency assistance to people affected by the conflict. Caritas Switzerland works through local implementing partners, taking the localization of aid approach in its response, and focus on bringing technical value-added specifically in the field of cash and markets, income, shelter, MHPSS as well as protection in addition to supporting partners in financial controlling and compliance standards.
With the technical support of CACH, our two local partner organizations Caritas Ukraine (CUA) and Caritas Spes (CS) have significantly strengthened and expanded their capabilities in response to the challenging situation in Ukraine. Reaching over 124’000 individuals with 21.5m CHF in 2022, CUA established themselves as the largest national CVA actor in the Ukrainian response. Likewise, CS has recently incorporated cash-based assistance to their programming – conducting some successful pilots, and are now looking to broaden the scope and scale of their cash based programme.
With new projects set to start in the coming months, CACH is seeking a CVA technical advisor on a consultant basis to support the delivery of high quality programming.

In terms of overall CVA support to the respective partners, the CVA advisor should understand localization approaches and focus on support in capacity building of partner staff, and provision of technical oversight for the delivery of high quality cash programming, including the areas of basic needs, shelter and protection.
