The Coordination Center for Family Upbringing and Child Care Development

What The Coordination Center for Family Upbringing and Child Care Development does

The Coordination Center for Family Upbringing and Child Care Development (Координаційний центр з розвитку сімейного виховання та догляду дітей) is a Ukrainian government state entity operating under the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine. The organization runs dity.gov.ua, the unified state web platform (branded "Ukraine for Every Child") that serves as the single national information and advisory resource for adoption, guardianship, foster care, large foster families (ДБСТ), patronage/foster family care, and mentorship for children without parental care. It serves prospective adoptive parents, guardians, foster families, mentorship volunteers, child services professionals, and ultimately Ukrainian children without parental guardianship. The platform was built with European Union financial support and in cooperation with UNICEF Ukraine, and integrates with Ukraine's Diia (Дія) government digital services portal to enable online registration of prospective caregivers.

The core technology is a web-based information portal hosted at dity.gov.ua, structured around five family care pathways plus supplementary modules: the Care Line (Лінія турботи) consultation service staffed by qualified specialists in social work, psychology, and law; two free online training courses ("Born with Heart" / Народжені серцем and "Family for a Child" / Родина для дитини) hosted via the EdEra online education studio; a Mentorship (Наставництво) program module; an inspirational stories and multimedia section featuring the "Talk to Me" (Поговори зі мною) project; and a curated Supportive Resources library. The platform also integrates with the Diia government digital services portal for online registration of prospective caregivers, though no public API or mobile application is offered, and the platform remains in demonstration mode (демонстраційному режимі).

The entity is wholly state-operated and functions as a non-commercial public service. All services are provided free of charge, and the organization does not generate commercial revenue. Funding flows from the Ukrainian state budget via the Ministry of Social Policy, supplemented by European Union grant financing for platform development and UNICEF Ukraine technical assistance. Distribution relies on the dity.gov.ua website, the Diia portal, regional child services offices (служби у справах дітей), regional centers of social services, and administrative service centers (ЦНАП) across Ukraine, with awareness supported by a social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and X. Customer segments are horizontal and public-sector in nature — there is no traditional paying customer base.

Product overview

The Coordination Center for Family Upbringing and Child Care Development operates dity.gov.ua as a unified state platform — a single, integrated web portal covering all family-based forms of child upbringing in Ukraine. The platform's core offering is the main dity.gov.ua portal itself, which provides structured guidance through five family care pathways: adoption, guardianship/custody, foster family, large foster family (ДБСТ), and patronage/foster family care. Built around this core, the platform layers additional services: the 'Лінія турботи' (Support Line) for expert consultations, two supplementary online learning courses ('Народжені серцем' and 'Родина для дитини') hosted via EdEra, a 'Наставництво' (Mentorship) program module, an inspirational 'Наші історії' (Our Stories) media section with interviews and videos, and a 'Допоміжні ресурси' (Supportive Resources) content library. The platform does not offer a public API or AI-driven features. Its purpose is exclusively informational and advisory, connecting prospective families with government services and educational content.
