Additional Context: These funding impacts may be linked to the perception that these activities are neither life-saving nor align with current U.S. policy objectives. These constraints have translated into measurable declines in key activities, including hygiene kit distribution, emergency water provision, and water and sanitation infrastructure repairs. This also means significantly fewer people reached through water and waste-water system operations and with emergency water supply in particular, notably in all frontline regions except Dnipropetrovska oblast.

The analysis draws on a survey ACAPS conducted to assess the impacts of the U.S. foreign aid suspension, specifically on the humanitarian response in Ukraine. Sixty-nine representatives of international, national, and local humanitarian organizations responded to the survey, the insights from which were also supplemented with a secondary data review of publicly available information and key informant interviews with 27 humanitarian and development organizations.
