World Bank’s Loan No.8404-UA

The MSP has active cooperation with the international financial institutions that grant assistance to Ukraine.

For example, Modernising the System for Social Support of the Population of Ukraine Project is implemented by the Ministry with the World Bank’s support.

The purpose of the project is to support social reforms as they are supposed to reduce the poverty level in the country and improve social protection of the Ukrainians.

We are working to enhance social assistance, to improve administration of social benefits and services, to develop family-based care, social support of orphans and families with children in difficult life circumstances within the project. The reason is that we intend to develop the social support system that will enable targeted aid to those in need, quality services, the competitive market so that a person in difficult life circumstances can overcome difficulties and resume full-scale and economically independent life.

The important thing is that the MSP uses the electronic procurement system called Prozorro for efficient procurement (within the experimental project to last from 15 August 2023 until 15 August 2025). The State Institution “Professional Procurement” is engaged for this purpose.

As we are cooperating with the Ministry of Economy and the SI “Professional Procurement” within the experimental project, we are testing the bidding mechanism based on the World Bank’s rules in Prozorro system and the new module “Procurement financed by donors” in accordance with the best international standards. This enables us not only to be cost-effective, but also to raise competition and performance of procurement.
