| SE strategy / action plan 1.2.1 S1100S267S333S4100S567 Criteria and evidence- S1 · Status: 100 (adopted and in force on 31 Dec 2025)
The National Strategy for Promoting the Development of Civil Society in Ukraine 2021-2026 (Presidential Decree 487/2021), whose Section V.3 covers social entrepreneurship (as coded in version 0.9.2), runs to 2026 and was in force on 31 Dec 2025: 'adopted and in force on 31 Dec 2025'. Decree page not opened. · source 1 - S2 · Dedication: 67 (SE chapter or pillar with measures in an adopted broader strategy, or dedicated regional strategies only)
Presidential Decree 487/2021 (National Strategy for Promoting Civil Society Development 2021-2026), direction 'Стимулювання участі інститутів громадянського суспільства в соціально-економічному розвитку України', sets the task 'розвиток соціального підприємництва шляхом' with sub-tasks (favourable conditions, flexible tax conditions): 'SE chapter or pillar with measures in an adopted broader national strategy'. · source 1 - S3 · Operational content: 33 (objectives only, or measures without named responsible bodies)
The strategy states SE tasks without responsible bodies, targets or budget; the Cabinet's three-year action plan to 2024 (adopted 14 Feb 2023) has indicators and quarterly reporting, but SE measures with named bodies could not be verified (plan text not readable): 'objectives only, or measures without named responsible bodies'. · source 1 - S4 · Monitoring: 100 (progress or evaluation report published in 2021–2025)
The decree requires 'щоквартальних та щорічних звітів про виконання планів заходів' with indicators; the Cabinet Secretariat presented implementation results and published a document on results for 2023 and Q1 2024 (news of 3 May 2024): 'progress or evaluation report published in the period'. The results document itself was not opened, hence medium. · source 1 - S5 · Participation of SE organisations: 67 (SE organisations named as members of the drafting group or of the monitoring body)
The drafting subgroup on CSO participation in socio-economic development (meeting of 21 Aug 2020, Cabinet Secretariat) included the charitable foundation 'Agentsiia rozvytku maibutnoho' and its head of social entrepreneurship development programmes, and agreed proposals on 'розвитку в Україні соціального підприємництва'; no monitoring body with SE members exists (a coordination body is only to be studied): 'SE organisations named as members of the drafting group'. Reading the foundation as an SE organisation is a judgement call. · source 1

Sanchenko and others), which introduces a definition of 'social entrepreneurship entities', was still under review in April 2026: 'in an official draft pending on 31 Dec 2025'. · source 1 - D2 · Content (social aim; participatory governance; limits on profit distribution): 33 (one)
