Balance Requested from ACT Alliance: US$ 2,050,584

The tens of thousands of people who lost their homes, properties and often their relatives during the long civil emergency in Chechnya are still dependant on assistance from the international humanitarian community. Humanitarian aid delivered by NGOs to Chechnya and its neighboring territories, is often the only means for many thousands of IDP’s to survive; for tens of thousands of the internally displaced it is an essential supplement to the basic assistance received from the authorities.

Since the inception of their humanitarian intervention in the Northern Caucasus, the ACT implementing members have striven to identify and fill in the gaps in the aid delivery by the international community and/or local government. This particularly applies to the pockets of severe emergency in the region characterised by a high concentration of the internally displaced people.

The ACT appeal EUNC-41 has for it’s goal to address the basic needs of the most affected categories of the Chechen population. The appeal has been revised to accommodate a project proposal by the Russian Orthodox Church/Russian Round Table (ROC/RRT), seeking financial support for continuation of humanitarian assistance to the areas with a high concentration of internally displaced – Grozny, Stavropol Kraj and Mozdok.

For the sake of brevity this revision includes the ROC/RRT proposal only. HIA and NCA/CPCD proposals remain unchanged and can be referred to in the original appeal issued on 16 June 2004.

Project Completion Date:

NCA - 30 June 2005

HIA - 31 December 2004

ROC - 31 December 2004
