The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has decided to launch the Unity Network — a new support system for Ukrainians living abroad. It will bring together specialized centers, non-governmental organizations, and consultants to help citizens access public services, find opportunities in Ukraine, and voluntarily return home.
This was reported by the Ministry of Social Policy, Family, and Unity of Ukraine.
The new system is named Unity Network and is meant to unite Ukrainian organizations operating abroad. Its main task is to simplify citizens' access to verified information, necessary support, and opportunities to stay connected with Ukraine.
The Unity Network will be coordinated by the Ministry of Social Policy, Family, and Unity. The operator will be the state enterprise “Agency for National Unity.”
According to Minister Denys Ulyutin, many organizations are already working outside Ukraine to help Ukrainians and maintain their ties to the homeland. However, their activities need to be better coordinated and made more accessible to citizens.
“It is important to make such initiatives more visible, unite these efforts, and strengthen collaboration between organizations and the state,” the minister noted.
The Unity Network will bring together Unity Centers, Ukrainian organizations abroad, a dedicated web portal, and consultants. Through this system, citizens will be able to obtain information about available services and support.
Particular attention will be paid to Ukrainians planning to return home. They will receive advisory assistance on voluntary return and settling life in Ukraine.
Support will also extend to citizens who, after returning, decide to settle in another locality. The system is intended to assist both in returning to their previous place of residence and in settling in a new one.
For the convenience of Ukrainians, a special web portal will be created where all Unity Network participants are listed. There users will find information about organizations, their activities, contact details, available services, and events.
New organizations will be able to join the network. This will require signing a brand-use agreement for the Unity Network under public offer terms.
The government plans to publish the full participation rules no later than two months after the corresponding decree comes into force.
A separate focus will be on training consultants who will work directly with Ukrainians abroad. Before starting work, they will undergo special training under a unified program.
After training, consultants will help citizens learn about opportunities in Ukraine, the procedure for voluntary return, access to public services, and professional development.
At the same time, Ukrainians who remain abroad will also be able to use the informational support of the Unity Network. One of its tasks is to maintain citizens' connection with Ukraine, regardless of whether they plan to return in the near future.
