More about the event:
Although a lot has already been said about it, the reconstruction of the country is not only about what needs to be done after victory. Even now, the country needs support for projects to restore energy, housing, critical and social infrastructure, basic services for the most vulnerable population, and demining. Not to mention the restoration of facilities on which the combat effectiveness of the army directly depends.
Ukraine’s needs for reconstruction and recovery are estimated by the World Bank at an unprecedented 485 billion dollars. It is obvious that the need for financing currently significantly exceeds the capacity of the available financing sources for Ukraine. Accordingly, it is necessary to set priorities carefully and strategically – what is the priority for Ukraine in the long term? Who should be involved in recovery – the state, business or communities? Who should make key decisions on reconstruction? How to make this process as transparent and understandable as possible for everyone who may be involved in it – from donors and key state bodies to ordinary Ukrainians who will live here?
In 2022, there was a concept of a quick victory and the start of global reconstruction. Now the situation has changed – it is necessary to restore here and now, constantly. The question: where to rebuild – where people lived before, where people are now, or where we predict they will live and work in the future? What will happen to large industrial facilities, how does business rebuild or create new infrastructure?
