Supporting the Government of Ukraine to strengthen social protection systems to address needs in the current crisis context is a strategic objective for UNICEF.

The SRSP assessment should focus on the core pillars of SRSP, such as policy and legal framework, coordination and governance, administrative and delivery systems, and contingency financing. The assessment should be practical and provide actionable recommendations to take forward with the Ministry of Social Policy.
