Without paperwork and through a digital platform: how to import humanitarian aid from April 1

On December 1 last year, the Automated Humanitarian Aid Registration System was launched. The key goal of this tool is to make the procedure for importing and accounting for humanitarian aid more convenient and transparent. In simple words: without paperwork, corruption and abuse.

At the same time, there is still a transition period until April 1, 2024. It stipulates that recipients of humanitarian aid (foundations, NGOs and other institutions) can choose one of two options for the delivery and accounting of humanitarian aid - paper or digital. Starting April 1, there will be only one available mechanism - exclusively digital.

Since the launch of the digital system https://good.gov.ua/ , more than 5,500 recipients have joined the official Register of Humanitarian Aid Recipients. In total, the Register already includes more than 7 thousand recipients. This means that all these organizations can legally import humanitarian aid. Since the launch of the digital mechanism, the system has generated almost 8,000 declarations and about 11,500 cargo data.

To make sure that the new rules from April 1 do not come as a surprise, that recipients can easily bring in aid and Ukrainians can receive it, we remind you how to use the digital platform.
