The purpose of this assignment is to conduct a shock-responsive assessment of Ukraine’s social protection system using globally acknowledged tools - guided by UNICEF’s Social Protection System Readiness Assessment Tool and complemented by other tools as needed (ISPA CODI, OPM’s SRSP toolkit, WB’s ASP framework) - in support of the Government’s social protection reform agenda. 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 assessment will identify strengths, gaps, and entry points for enhancing the shock-responsiveness of the national social protection system, with particular focus on recent shocks and responses, linkages with humanitarian assistance if possible, and adaptive capacity to future shocks. 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.
