Nurturing the Future: Investing in every child for Ukraine’s recovery
Advocacy Brief
Highlights
This UNICEF Advocacy Brief highlights the urgent need to place children at the heart of Ukraine’s recovery. The war has devastated children’s lives, disrupted essential services, and reversed decades of progress. With nearly a third of children displaced and 70% facing material deprivation, rebuilding a future for Ukraine means investing in early childhood development, education, health, family-based care, and inclusive services.
UNICEF works alongside the Government of Ukraine and local partners to deliver sustainable, locally led recovery efforts. From rebuilding schools and water systems to supporting families and empowering youth, the brief outlines a roadmap to help every child not just survive, but thrive. The time to act is now—for children, for Ukraine, for the future.
