INTRODUCTION TO UNHCR

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established on December 14, 1950, by the United Nations General Assembly. The agency is mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It also has a mandate to help stateless people.

In more than seven decades, the agency has helped tens of millions of people restart their lives. Today, a staff of some 17,000 people in more than 135 countries continues to help about 79.5 million persons. To help and protect some of the worlds most vulnerable people in so many places and types of environment, UNHCR must purchase goods and services worldwide. For further information on UNHCR, its mandate and operations please see http://www.unhcr.org.

UNHCR ACTIVITITES IN UKRAINE

Since the start of the armed conflict in Ukraine, approximately 7.1 million Ukrainians have been internally displaced, while the number of refugees fleeing into neighboring countries has reached a staggering 5.2 million. UNHCR intends to rebuild houses in Kyiv Oblast and elsewhere, as well as to repair damaged houses.

This tender refers to UNHCRs ongoing humanitarian assistance in support of the conflict affected population who have been displaced in various locations within Ukraine.
