The government has expanded the powers of the Coordinating Council on Internally Displaced Persons, Maintaining Ties with Ukrainian Citizens Abroad, and Facilitating Their Voluntary Return, adding humanitarian aid, volunteer activities, and social support to its mandate.
The Council will coordinate cooperation among government agencies, volunteers, charitable organizations, and international partners on humanitarian response issues.
This will promote the development of volunteerism and better coordination of efforts to meet the needs of individuals and communities.
In connection with this decision, the Government has also updated the Council’s mandate and its membership.
Implementation of the resolution will not require additional expenditures from the state or local budgets.
As a reminder, the Government had previously adopted a decision to establish the Coordination Council.
