DREAM Update: Regional investment profiles have been updated on the public portal

The Strategic Investment Council has approved an updated State Single Project Pipeline (SPP) of public investments for 2026.&nbsp;The update includes 18 public investment projects, as well as two updated public investment programmes.&nbsp;The updates cover the following sectors:&nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Energy - 5 new projects and 3 projects updated&nbsp;</li><li>Municipal infrastructure&nbsp;</li><li>Transport - 3 projects&nbsp;</li><li>Healthcare - 2 projects&nbsp;</li><li>Education and science - 2 programmes updated&nbsp;</li><li>Environment - 3 projects&nbsp;</li></ul>The full list of public investment projects and programmes is available on the public DREAM portal: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://dream.gov.ua/spp-pipeline">https://dream.gov.ua/spp-pipeline </a>or in the DREAM analytics module: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bi.dream.gov.ua/#/spp">bi.dream.gov.ua</a>The preparation of projects and programmes using the new procedures for appraisal, prioritisation, and selection ensures that investments focus on initiatives that deliver the greatest value for people and the state.&nbsp;Through the DREAM system, project pipelines remain transparent and accessible for review, analysis, and monitoring by sectoral ministries, international partners, international financial institutions, and the public. This transparency also increases opportunities to attract additional financing.&nbsp;This is the second update of the State SPP since it was initially approved by the Strategic Investment Council on 26 August 2025. Under current legislation, the Single Project Pipeline at all levels - national, regional, and local - may be updated on a quarterly basis.&nbsp;The development and implementation of the system is led by the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, together with the DREAM Project Office, with the support of the UK DIGIT project ("Digitalisation for Growth, Integrity and Transparency"), implemented by the Eurasia Foundation and funded by UK Dev. The implementing partner is the Open Contracting Partnership.

Ukraine updates its State Single Project Pipeline in the DREAM system

The estimated cost of Ukraine’s recovery is now nearly three times the country’s projected nominal GDP for 2025. According to the updated Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment - RDNA5, released on February 23 by the Government of Ukraine together with the World Bank Group, the European Commission, and the United Nations, total recovery and reconstruction needs as of December 31, 2025 are estimated at USD 588 billion over the next decade. This represents an increase of USD 64 billion compared to the previous year’s assessment. The assessment covers the period from February 24, 2022 to December 31, 2025 - nearly four years of full-scale war. During this time, direct damage has exceeded USD 195 billion. The most affected sectors remain<ul><li>housing - accounting for 31% of total damage,</li><li>transport - 20.6%,</li><li>energy - 12%,</li><li>trade and industry - 9%,</li><li>agriculture - 6%.&nbsp;</li></ul>More than 80% of destruction is concentrated in frontline and border regions. The largest recovery needs over the next ten years are in the transport sector, totaling more than USD 96 billion. Energy sector needs are estimated at USD 90.6 billion. In 2025 alone, the number of damaged or destroyed energy facilities increased by approximately 21%. The district heating sector remains particularly underfunded - 2026 financing needs amount to USD 1.6 billion, while less than 1% of this requirement is currently secured. The housing sector requires approximately USD 90 billion over the next decade. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, 14% of the housing stock has been damaged or destroyed, affecting more than 3 million households. Significant resources are also required for trade and industry - over USD 63 billion, agriculture - over USD 55 billion, and demining and explosive hazard management - nearly USD 28 billion. In 2026, USD 5.8 billion is already available to finance priority programs; however, the overall funding gap stands at USD 9.5 billion. The most significant shortfalls are observed in energy, housing, transport, and water supply and sanitation. At the same time, RDNA5 highlights a structural shift in Ukraine’s recovery framework. Planning and prioritization of investments for 2026 are being carried out within the Public Investment Management reform framework, with DREAM serving as its digital backbone. The preparation of the 2026 State Budget marks the first full budget cycle implemented under the updated PIM procedures. The PIM system governs the planning, appraisal, and prioritization of public investments at the national, regional, and local levels. State-level investments are consolidated into a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://dream.gov.ua/spp-pipeline">Single Project Pipeline</a>, while regional and local pipelines are being further developed to serve as central reference points for financing and implementation decisions. Importantly, aggregated data from the DREAM platform were used to assess recovery needs at the regional and local levels. DREAM provides a consolidated, transparent, and structured overview of community and regional investment needs, ensuring alignment within a unified PIM logic. Overall, Ukraine’s recovery framework is transitioning from emergency response toward a structured, institutionalized, and data-driven model of investment management. This process goes beyond rebuilding infrastructure - it represents a broader economic transformation, the adoption of European standards, and the establishment of a foundation for Ukraine’s full integration into the European Union.

DREAM Update: Community Investment Profiles Refreshed

An international Peer Learning Workshop: Public Sector Staffing and Digitalization for Public Infrastructure Investment Results was held in Vienna, focusing on strengthening public sector capacity and digital solutions for Public Investment Management (PIM). The event brought together representatives of ministries, local governments, state-owned enterprises, and international institutions from across Europe, the Balkans, and Central Asia. The workshop was co-organized by the World Bank, the European Commission, the Austrian School of Government, the Federal Public Administration Academy, and the Vienna Development Knowledge Center. Discussions centered on how strengthening public sector competencies, digitalizing processes, and implementing institutional reforms can improve the preparation, selection, and delivery of public investments. The event was attended by Viktor Nestulia, Head of the DREAM Project Office, Head of Ukraine Support, OCP, who presented Ukraine’s approach to implementing the PIM reform and the DREAM digital ecosystem as its practical backbone. Why This Matters Effective Public Investment Management is increasingly seen not merely as a technical function, but as a combination of leadership, institutional capacity, and digital tools. Workshop participants discussed common challenges countries face when transitioning to a systemic PIM framework, including skills shortages, fragmented IT solutions, a lack of end-to-end processes, and limited analytical capacity to support decision-making. In this context, Ukraine’s experience stood out as an example of a comprehensive approach, where digital solutions do not operate in isolation but support the entire reform logic — from strategic planning to project implementation and monitoring. Ukraine’s Experience and the Role of DREAM During the workshop, the DREAM ecosystem was presented as the digital foundation of Ukraine’s public investment management reform. Participants were introduced to key elements of the system, including integrated project preparation workflows, transparent procedures, analytical tools, and the approach to developing a Medium-Term Plan of Priority Public Investments, sectoral pipelines, and the Single Project Pipeline. The Ukrainian case generated strong interest among participants. In their concluding discussions, representatives of participating countries expressed a desire to further explore the DREAM approach and consider it as a reference model for the development of their own PIM systems. Key Takeaways from the Workshop The main takeaways included:<ul><li>Human capital and institutional capacity are critical to successful PIM reform, alongside regulatory frameworks and IT solutions</li><li>Training and competency development must be systematic and continuous, rather than ad hoc</li><li>Digitalization, data integration, big data, and artificial intelligence are reshaping public investment management practices</li><li>The effectiveness of PIM should be assessed based on real outcomes, including adherence to timelines and budgets, infrastructure quality, and environmental and climate impact</li></ul>Special attention was given to economic appraisal tools, particularly the e-CBA solution developed by the World Bank to support decision-making in public investment. Outcomes and Next Steps Following the workshop, the Ukrainian delegation was invited to engage more actively with the World Bank’s international PIM community, which is working on transforming PIM functions across the region. Agreements were also reached on methodological cooperation, with a view to potentially integrating selected international tools and approaches into the DREAM ecosystem and Ukraine’s PIM methodology. Participation in the workshop confirmed that Ukraine’s PIM reform and the DREAM ecosystem are already recognized internationally and can serve as a practical reference for other countries undergoing public investment management reforms.

Presenting Ukraine’s PIM Reform and DREAM to the International Community: Key Takeaways from the Vienna Workshop

The Government of Ukraine continues to implement the Public Investment Management (PIM) reform, aimed not only at ensuring a unified approach to the allocation of budget funds but also at creating conditions for sustainable and effective development of communities and regions based on sound strategic planning and prioritization. The digital foundation of the reform is the DREAM system — a “single window” for managing public investment projects and programs. All stages of implementation — from the formation of the medium-term plan, preparation, and appraisal, to the development of sectoral pipelines and the Single Project Pipeline (SPP) at national, regional, and local levels, as well as funding decisions, execution, and monitoring — are carried out through DREAM in a transparent and accountable manner. The Head of the Project Office shares his vision of the reform’s implementation, the future of the system, and the strength of the DREAM team. - Our mission is simple: we are transforming the public investment management system to improve the quality of life in Ukraine. Public investments, like public procurements, influence all sectors of the economy and society. Today, Ukraine is facing extremely challenging circumstances, and to some, working on reform may seem illogical. However, transforming the public investment system is especially crucial right now, given the enormous needs for recovery and development projects. Resources of the state and individual communities must be used transparently, accountably, and efficiently. In addition, we are already preparing to engage the funds of our international partners — including European funds — based on clear and understandable rules and conditions. A modern, transparent, and well-structured PIM system is a key prerequisite for attracting international funds to support Ukraine’s recovery and development. <img alt="DSC06957 (1).jpeg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_06957_1_e5364155be.jpeg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_06957_1_e5364155be.jpeg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_06957_1_e5364155be.jpeg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_06957_1_e5364155be.jpeg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_06957_1_e5364155be.jpeg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> How do you see the development of DREAM over the next few years? What should remain unchanged, and what should evolve? - What must remain unchanged is DREAM’s people-centered approach — from process logic to our approaches in training, client service, and system interface design. Our slogan is “make the community fall in love with DREAM,” because first and foremost, we aim to create value for every community and its residents. <img alt="DSC05063.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_05063_8df35a7d4b.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_05063_8df35a7d4b.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_05063_8df35a7d4b.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_05063_8df35a7d4b.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_05063_8df35a7d4b.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> There is still a lot of transformation ahead — many elements of the reform are not yet finalized or integrated into the system. We have a significant amount of work ahead in digitally transforming all stages of investment project implementation. We are also looking forward to deep integration with the Ministry of Finance’s budget systems — our teams are actively working on this now. We’re expanding our data analytics capabilities and building a robust risk management system. We are developing tools for citizen engagement through DREAM, along with many other features and services. And of course, artificial intelligence: developing and integrating large language models into PIM processes via DREAM is one of our priorities. <img alt="DSC05886.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_05886_17c9d0f77a.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_05886_17c9d0f77a.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_05886_17c9d0f77a.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_05886_17c9d0f77a.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_05886_17c9d0f77a.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000">Does DREAM influence the culture of public investment management — not just the processes, but also the mindset of those in the system? - Our team has a manifesto — outlining what we aim for, why, and how. I’ll quote it as my answer to this question: “Together, we are building a new culture of interaction and thinking, where every action matters, every person makes an impact, and the future begins with the decisions we make today. We do this by rethinking approaches to public investment management and creating equal opportunities for every participant in the ecosystem. This helps shape and implement the vision of Ukraine — a country we are proud of, a country we want to return to and invest in.” <img alt="Copy of DSC05161 (1).jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_05161_1_5ed99b13d9.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_05161_1_5ed99b13d9.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_05161_1_5ed99b13d9.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_05161_1_5ed99b13d9.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_05161_1_5ed99b13d9.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> How can you tell that the reform is moving in the right direction? What signals indicate this to you? - It’s important to track progress and compare each reform cycle to the previous one. If we look back at 2024 — considering the rules for forming the first pilot EPP and the coverage of processes through DREAM — and compare it to where we are now, we’ve made a significant leap forward. We already have state-level SPs and SPPs in place. Over 600 communities are registering their SPIs in DREAM, and nearly 6,000 PIPs have been entered into the system using the new methodology. There’s strong demand for training and support — every day we unlock new opportunities and move forward. So overall, we are on the right track. But we must not become complacent, thinking “everything is already working perfectly” — many aspects, from regulatory support to implementation of specific DREAM functionalities, still have room for improvement. Our team, together with our partners, constantly gathers feedback from communities, regions, ministries, and international partners, analyzes data, and studies the real challenges people face — where theory “misses the mark,” and therefore the approach needs to be revised. It’s encouraging that all members of the broader reform team are willing to keep improving the process with every step. What matters most is not a snapshot evaluation, but continuous movement in the right direction. That’s how each cycle brings us closer to sustained improvement. <img alt="photo_2025-10-23 09.43.29.jpeg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/photo_2025_10_23_09_43_29_137bd73688.jpeg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_photo_2025_10_23_09_43_29_137bd73688.jpeg 208w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_photo_2025_10_23_09_43_29_137bd73688.jpeg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_photo_2025_10_23_09_43_29_137bd73688.jpeg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_photo_2025_10_23_09_43_29_137bd73688.jpeg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> What personally motivates you to work on such a large and complex project? &nbsp;- First of all, it’s the people. Starting with our team of DREAM believers who truly live this reform and are fully dedicated to its implementation. These are people who care deeply and genuinely believe in Ukraine’s future. And of course, the partners we work with — ministries, regions, communities, international partners, civil society organizations — all of them form one large PIM reform team. Today, that’s hundreds, maybe even thousands of like-minded individuals who contribute every day to these critical changes. Then, the vision of Ukraine’s future is embedded in our manifesto. This reform directly impacts the quality of life in Ukraine and helps gradually shift the paradigm we use when planning positive change at the local level. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_09675_f1de05c262.JPG" alt="DSC09675.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_09675_f1de05c262.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_09675_f1de05c262.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_09675_f1de05c262.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_09675_f1de05c262.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> And finally — the ambition of the PIM reform itself, as well as DREAM as its digital foundation. I genuinely believe that Ukraine’s success in this reform will inspire other countries, just as Prozorro and Diia once did. We haven’t seen this kind of comprehensive approach to managing public investments — with digital tools, broad stakeholder coordination, and engagement at every level — in any other country. That’s why we’re confident we’re not only contributing to building the future of Ukraine but also opening new opportunities for the world. “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” So we keep doing our work every day — until we can finally celebrate that “done.” :)

Обгрунтування.docx

The project involves the purchase of 2 school buses to ensure regular, safe and comfortable transportation of students to secondary education institutions in the community. The main goal of the project is to increase the educational coverage of children from rural, remote and low-mobility areas, as well as ensure inclusive and barrier-free transportation for students with special needs and low-mobility population groups.

Проєкт передбачає закупівлю 2 шкільних автобусів для забезпечення регулярного, безпечного та комфортного підвозу учнів до закладів загальної середньої освіти громади. Основна мета проєкту &ndash; збільшення охоплення освітою дітей із сільських, віддалених та маломобільних районів, а також забезпечення інклюзивності та безбар&rsquo;єрності перевезень для учнів з особливими потребами та маломобільних груп населення.

Purchase of school buses

Закупівля шкільних автобусів

Procurement of student transportation services from specialized carriers. The carrier provides vehicles equipped with lifts and seat belts for students with limited mobility, qualified drivers, and teachers to accompany children, while the community monitors the implementation of schedules and safety standards, ensuring the efficiency and inclusiveness of transportation.&nbsp;

Придбання послуг з перевезення учнів у спеціалізованих перевізників. Перевізник надає транспортні засоби, обладнані підйомниками та ременями безпеки для маломобільних учнів, кваліфікованих водіїв та супровід дітей педагогами, а громада контролює виконання графіків і стандартів безпеки, забезпечуючи ефективність та інклюзивність перевезень.&nbsp;

Procurement of student transportation services

Закупівля послуг з перевезення учнів

High capital costs at the start – purchase and registration of buses. Maintenance and repair costs – maintenance, insurance, driver salaries. Management resource requirements – fleet administration, schedule monitoring, safety control.

Високі капітальні витрати на старті – закупівля та реєстрація автобусів.  Витрати на обслуговування і ремонт – технічне обслуговування, страховка, зарплата водіїв.  Потреба в управлінському ресурсі – адміністрування парку, моніторинг графіків, контроль безпеки.

Control and independence – the community directly manages the bus fleet and transportation schedules. Long-term savings – with long-term operation, rental costs may be higher. Adaptability – buses can be equipped for specific needs of students (lifts, additional seats, safety systems). Investment in its own infrastructure – an asset of the community that is used for several years.

Контроль і незалежність – громада безпосередньо управляє парком автобусів і графіками перевезень.  Довгострокова економія – при тривалій експлуатації витрати на оренду послуг можуть бути вищими.  Можливість адаптації – автобуси можна обладнати під конкретні потреби учнів (підйомники, додаткові сидіння, системи безпеки).  Інвестиція у власну інфраструктуру – актив громади, що використовується кілька років.

Higher long-term cost - renting or purchasing services for a year can be more expensive than buying your own buses for long-term use. Less control over transportation - the community depends on the carrier for schedules, routes, quality of service and safety. Risk of unpredictable changes - the cost of services can change due to tariff indexation, fuel price increases or other factors. Limited adaptability - in case of changes in student needs or routes, it is more difficult to quickly change transportation conditions. Dependence on an external supplier - there may be delays, missed flights or problems with the technical condition of buses, which cannot always be resolved quickly.

Вища довгострокова вартість - оренда або закупівля послуг за рік може бути дорожчою за купівлю власних автобусів при тривалому використанні.  Менший контроль над перевезенням  - громада залежить від перевізника щодо графіків, маршруту, якості обслуговування та безпеки.  Ризик непередбачуваних змін - вартість послуг може змінюватися через індексацію тарифів, подорожчання пального або інші фактори.  Обмежені можливості адаптації - у разі зміни потреб учнів або маршруту складніше оперативно змінити умови перевезення.  Залежність від зовнішнього постачальника - можливі затримки, пропуски рейсів або проблеми з технічним станом автобусів, які не завжди можна швидко вирішити.

Reduced capital costs - no need to buy your own buses, which significantly saves the community budget at the start. Flexibility in scaling - you can easily increase or decrease the number of buses/flights according to the needs of students. Minimized maintenance - all repairs and services are provided by the carrier. Possibility of a quick start - the project can start work relatively quickly after concluding an agreement with the carrier. Availability of inclusive transportation - the carrier can provide buses with lifts and places for groups with reduced mobility. Lower administrative costs - the community does not have to administer its own fleet (insurance, technical inspection, driver salaries).

Зменшення капітальних витрат - не потрібно купувати власні автобуси, що значно економить бюджет громади на старті.  Гнучкість у масштабуванні - можна легко збільшувати або зменшувати кількість автобусів/рейсів відповідно до потреб учнів.  Мінімізація технічного обслуговування - всі ремонти та сервісні послуги забезпечує перевізник.  Можливість швидкого запуску - проєкт може розпочати роботу відносно швидко після укладання договору з перевізником.  Доступність інклюзивного перевезення - перевізник може надати автобуси з підйомниками та місцями для маломобільних груп.  Менші управлінські витрати - громада не займається адмініструванням власного автопарку (страхування, техогляд, зарплата водіїв).

Ensuring equal access to quality education for students from rural communities by organizing regular, safe, and free transportation to secondary education institutions by 2 specialized school buses. 
&nbsp;

Забезпечення рівного доступу до якісної освіти для учнів сільських населених пунктів громади шляхом&nbsp;організації регулярного, безпечного та безоплатного підвезення до закладу загальної середньої освіти 2 спеціалізованими шкільними автобусами.
