Support of Early Recovery Process in Ukraine with the Ministry of Restoration

The project will build on the results of the Good Governance Fund (GGF) support for local recovery planning by assisting the Government of Ukraine (GoU) and target hromadas (communities) in supporting Ukraine's priority of rebuilding the nation and fostering long-term development. The project will pursue its objectives by delivering across three distinct workstreams: Policy development: The project will assist the Ministry for Restoration (MfR) in developing the State Regional Development Strategy 2024-2027 Action Plan. Institutionalisation of recovery planning: Building on the results of previous work, the project will work with five hromadas to institutionalise recovery plans, through providing training and expert assistance. Programming to revitalise local economies: The project will conduct a series of pilot initiatives by identifying and supporting local economic development initiatives to help create new employment opportunities and strengthen social cohesion to boost local economies and facilitate the sustainable recovery of war-affected communities.
