The overall objective of the PeReHID Initiative is to support the transition of parts of the humanitarian caseload into an inclusive, shock-responsive national social protection system. To this end, the PeReHID Initiative fosters a shared understanding between the Government of Ukraine and humanitarian actors on increasing alignment and linking humanitarian cash transfers and humanitarian services with national social assistance and social service programmes.

The PeReHID Initiative supports the Government’s agenda to reform the social protection system to make it more adequate, adaptive, and shock-responsive to the current context of an ongoing full-scale invasion. The PeReHID Initiative was official endorsed by Order 186-N of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine.

The PeReHID Initiative is a technical assistance collaboration between the Ministry of Social Policy, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the World Food Programme (WFP), the Collaborative Cash Delivery Network (CCD), the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Right to Protect (R2P), and the Social Protection Technical Assistance, Advice, and Resources Facility (STAAR) / DAI Global UK Ltd.
