We are presenting the results of a study on the state and needs of the social services system in the Zaporizhzhia region as of 2026. The study aimed to identify key challenges and needs for both social service recipients and providers, as well as to establish an evidence base for the further development of the regional social protection system. The research process included mapping social service providers, surveying representatives of vulnerable population groups, conducting focus group discussions with social workers and service providers, and interviewing key informants—representatives of state and municipal institutions, non-governmental organizations, the veteran community, and the education and social protection sectors.
The study was initiated and implemented by the NGO "YES" in partnership with the sociological company IRG and with the participation of the Department of Social Protection of the Population of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
