In the project, we strive not only to implement digital solutions but also to ensure they are accessible, understandable and useful for every Ukrainian. Especially for those who find themselves in difficult life circumstances.
Anastasiia Burau, Deputy Advocacy Coordinator of R2P, stressed that the digital transformation of the social sphere is not just a transition from paper to electronic forms.

This is a fundamental change in approaches to governance, citizen service, and interaction between the state and society. In light of the global challenges we face, including the COVID-19 pandemic and full-scale invasion, digitalisation is becoming not only a tool for efficiency but also a key to ensuring the stability and security of social guarantees.
Ihor Meshchan, Director of the Social Development and Veterans Policy Department of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, greeted the heads of residential institutions, territorial centres, ASCs, and social service providers of Kyivska oblast.

I am confident that municipal and state institutions will be able to best master and implement the digitalisation of our services for the sake of people, for our victory! I am very grateful to Right to Protection, with whom we have been working for a long time, for continuing to work on the topic of digitalisation.
