Since the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on February 24th, 2022, the total number of verified civilian casualties were 11,862, including 5,110 killed, according to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU). The scope and scale of damage to critical infrastructure caused by the conflict has also been devastating, including residential housing, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and other civilian targets damaged or destroyed. The number of people with disabilities (PWDs) caused by the war — both combatants and civilians — has led to increased special demands on services, specifically medical and psycho-social, which are expected to continue to grow substantially over time. The Government of Ukraine has a wide set of policies regulating the sphere of social and medical services and a wide range of rehabilitation centres, nevertheless, the rehabilitation system lacks capacities, funds and is in dire need of modernisation and face difficulties in terms of dealing with war inflicted injuries and traumas. Responding to this, UNDP has launched a project aimed at responding to the immediate needs in terms of service provision as well as economic integration of PWDs caused by the war, by enhancing capacities of rehabilitation facilities across Ukraine and partnering with Civil Society for increased livelihood opportunities, while underpinning the Governments long-term rehabilitation agenda for PWDs and continued work for a Barrier-free Environment in Ukraine.

The Project comprises three outputs:

Output 1. Government of Ukraine enabled to design new policies and regulations to better protect, respect and fulfil the rights of people with disabilities, with the focus on rehabilitation

Output 2. Rehabilitation institutions have enhanced technical expertise, capacities and equipment to ensure necessary service provision

Output 3. PWDs’ socio-economic integration enhanced through livelihood support.
