| dc.description.abstract | The conflict in Eastern Ukraine, which started in April 2014, continues
to trigger humanitarian needs, claim lives and result in damage to critical public
and private infrastructure. Protracted displacement remains a significant
challenge, and lack of livelihood opportunities forces some internally displaced
persons (IDPs) to return prematurely to insecure areas. The protracted nature of
the crisis has an impact on all aspects of life for civilians living along the contact
line in Eastern Ukraine. Responding to the migration and humanitarian crisis, the
International Organization for Migration (IOM) as an international organization
engaged in migration and humanity seeks to show its solidarity with conflictaffected
communities by implementing various aid programs and spending time
with communities, staff, donors, and partners in the country. In handling the
humanitarian crisis that occurred in Ukraine, IOM has the roles as initiator,
facilitator and determinator. In addition, IOM was able to carry out its roles in
the crisis in Ukraine because it utilized a transnational advocacy networks, so
that donors and the assistance could have a good impact on the implementation of
each program made for conflict-affected Ukrainians. | en_US |
