The Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, the
Crimea SOS project and International Organization Stabilization Support
Services have launched a joint project to help internally displaced persons in
Ukraine.
The project provides a Program of advisers for
internally displaced persons within the Ministry of Social Policy in Central,
Eastern, Southern and Western Ukraine. The program will be
implemented in the key for IDPs settlements, which will be determined by the
Crimea SOS and the Ministry of Social Policy.
Moreover, the Program assumes that at the
regional level advisers will operate as a local contact point for IDPs and
facilitate the exchange of information between the Social Policy Ministry and
regions, they will solve along with police and local councils the issues of
accommodation of IDPs.
Advisers at the central level will act as a
channel of communication on IDPs at the regional level in order to convey the
problems of IDPs to higher levels, provide support to their colleagues in the
Ministry to respond to the requests from IDPs, representatives of NGOs and
representatives of vulnerable groups.
Social Policy Minister Pavlo Rozenko has
noted that the Government has been closely working for a long time with
international and national NGOs on addressing issues of internally displaced
persons and also praised the proposed Program.
