Social services in Ukraine are still in the process of formation and development. It is necessary to significantly improve the quality of social services, modernize the funding mechanisms, and expand the range of possible providers of these services. Families raising children with disabilities need special services and attention not only from government agencies, but also from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which are increasingly supporting them. The study was conducted in Ukraine and had several objectives: 1. To find out whether NGOs work with families with children with disabilities; 2. If so, do they assess the needs of families and children with disabilities; 3. What methods are best to use when assessing needs?

The article tells about the experience of the state budget institution of social services of the Pskov region "Rehabilitation center for children and adolescents with disabilities" from Velikiye Luki in the rehabilitation of children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 years with disabilities in mental and physical development, ensuring their fullest and timely social adaptation to life in society, family, education and work through the organization of mutual assistance groups. The effectiveness of this form of work with a family raising a child with disabilities is shown by teaching parents to understand their children, identify their abilities and needs for their further development. These theoretical positions were confirmed by experimental work that took place in three stages, including the social project "All together" with an inclusive component, which allowed to develop the huge internal potential of families raising children with disabilities for their more effective rehabilitation.

Introduction. Improving the quality of social services financed from regional budgets and provided by non-governmental social organizations is directly related to improving the efficiency of social programs and projects. Both the governing bodies and executors of the project and the target audience to which the project or program is directed are interested in the effective work of social projects and programs. Thus, providing feedback from beneficiaries on their satisfaction with the services provided under the project or from the expert community on the effectiveness of the program greatly encourages NGOs and governments to improve the quality and effectiveness of their work. Management of social projects is carried out directly by non-governmental public organizations, but state and regional authorities that finance these projects should also take part in this process. At the same time, the state is generally responsible for social policy, so the implementation of social projects, regardless of who implements them, ultimately fits into the system of public administration. One of the most important mechanisms that ensure the quality of management components in general and project management in particular is monitoring and evaluation. Goal. The purpose of the article is to determine the mechanism for improving the quality of social services provided by the private sector at the expense of regional budgets using methodological approaches to monitoring and evaluation. Method. The theoretical and methodological basis of this article is based on the use of basic provisions of economics, public administration and social work, legislation, as well as the main provisions of scientific developments of Ukrainian and foreign authors on the market of social services in Ukraine, monitoring and evaluation of social programs and projects. financed from regional budgets and implemented by non-governmental organizations.

It is proved that non-governmental organizations have a strong potential for the implementation of state policy in the reform of social services.

Project management is an autonomous discipline that is applied to a huge diversity of activity sectors and that has evolved enormously over the last decades. International Development Cooperation has incorporated some of this discipline’s tools into its professional practice, but many gaps remain. This article analyzes donor agencies’ project management approaches in their funding mechanisms for projects implemented by non-governmental organizations. As case study, we look at the Spanish decentralized donor agencies (Spanish autonomous communities). The analysis uses the PM2 project management methodology of the European Commission, as comparison framework, to assess and systematize the documentation, requirements, and project management tools that non-governmental organizations need to use and fulfill as a condition to access these donors’ project funding mechanisms. The analysis shows coincidence across donors in the priority given to project management areas linked to the iron triangle (scope, cost, and time) while other areas are mainly left unattended. The analysis also identifies industry-specific elements of interest (such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals) that need to be incorporated into project management practice in this field. The use of PM2 as benchmark provides a clear vision of the project management areas that donors could address to better support their non-governmental organization-implemented projects.

Purpose The applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in different sectors have become agendas for discussions in the highest circle of experts. The applications of AI can help society and can harm society even by jeopardizing human rights. The purpose of this study is to examine the evolution of AI and its impacts on human rights from social and legal perspectives. Design/methodology/approach With the help of studies of literature and different other AI and human rights-related reports, this study has taken an attempt to provide a comprehensive and executable framework to address these challenges contemplated to occur due to the increase in usage of different AI applications in the context of human rights. Findings This study finds out how different AI applications could help society and harm society. It also highlighted different legal issues and associated complexity arising due to the advancement of AI technology. Finally, the study also provided few recommendations to the governments, private enterprises and non-governmental organizations on the usage of different AI applications in their organizations. Research limitations/implications This study mostly deals with the legal, social and business-related issues arising due to the advancement of AI technology. The study does not penetrate the technological aspects and algorithms used in AI applications. Policymakers, government agencies and private entities, as well as practitioners could take the help of the recommendations provided in this study to formulate appropriate regulations to control the usage of AI technology and its applications. Originality/value This study provides a comprehensive view of the emergence of AI technology and its implication on human rights. There are only a few studies that examine AI and related human rights issues from social, legal and business perspectives. Thus, this study is claimed to be a unique study. Also, this study provides valuable inputs to the government agencies, policymakers and practitioners about the need to formulate a comprehensive regulation to control the usage of AI technology which is also another unique contribution of this study.
