The project for the provision of one-time "baby box" aid after childbirth has been extended. In 2020, warm things, a baby carpet, soap and a waterproof diaper were added to the package. Currently, the cost of such gift from the government is about UAH 5,000.

The term of the pilot "baby box" project, which was supported by UN structures and within the framework of the international technical assistance project "Providing social welfare and responsible parenthood in Ukraine", ends in 2020.

The Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine has developed a new mechanism for financing one-time “baby box” aid at the expense of the state budget, which was approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on March 3, 2020. No. 172 “Some Issues of Providing a Newborn Baby with a One-Time “Baby Box” Aid".

From now on, the Ministry of Social Policy has been identified as the chief spending unit for providing one-time "baby box" aid to families after childbirth.

During 2019, 12774 baby packs were given out in the region.
