The "quadrum" stage of the Chernihiv Music and Drama Theater is empty; every step on the parquet echoes with a dull thud, cracks run along the walls, and the luxurious auditorium is covered with a thick film. We protect it from dust, and sometimes the plaster still crumbles - explains Serhiy Moisienko, who has been the head of the theater for almost ten years. - People don't work in the theater; they serve, even the directors.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Film15_f9cd1b4357.png" alt="Film15.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Film15_f9cd1b4357.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Film15_f9cd1b4357.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Film15_f9cd1b4357.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Film15_f9cd1b4357.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He smiles and recalls how he has tried to do everything he could to make it cozy and aesthetically pleasing, to make actors want to create, and to make people come.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Before russia's full-scale invasion, the theater's troupe included 186 people: actors, musicians, and stagehands. The artistic director was Andriy Bakirov, one of the most sought-after theater directors in the country. They had performances and tours all over Ukraine and grateful audiences. All the efforts seemed to be finally justified, and the theater would have a bright future ahead.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The war changed the plans. Part of the troupe left the city surrounded by the enemy, some joined the Armed forces to defend Ukraine, and the theater became a temporary shelter for many Chernihiv residents. Even after the liberation of the Chernihiv region in April 2022, the resumption of the theater season seemed inappropriate. The damaged city had to resume everyday life, bring people back home, and get used to the new conditions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Film13_7780df09cb.png" alt="Film13.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Film13_7780df09cb.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Film13_7780df09cb.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Film13_7780df09cb.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Film13_7780df09cb.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - But even when everything here was complicated and depressing: houses were destroyed, roads were broken, trolleybus lines were torn, some people still came to the theater underground, communicated with each other through social networks, and held creative meetings, - recalls Serhiy Moisienko.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The troupe gathered for the first rehearsals in August 2022, and in September, the first play was performed at the Chernihiv Music and Drama Theater. It was a sold-out performance. The theater gave Chernihiv residents hope and saved them. On August 19, 2023, the townspeople came to save the theater. At about 11:30 am, a russian Iskander cruise missile hit the building.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Film1_146886e3df.png" alt="Film1.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Film1_146886e3df.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Film1_146886e3df.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Film1_146886e3df.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Film1_146886e3df.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The roof was destroyed, the facade, equipment, and decorations were damaged, almost all the windows were smashed, and the auditorium was damaged. - I could see the sun from our stage on the parquet, -says Serhiy Moisienko. - There were no windows and doors, the plaster was on the floor, the auditorium roof was destroyed, and the sky was visible. There was such an internal stupor, just no emotions, just numbness and an attempt to analyze, think, think, think how to get out of this situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <iframe width="1000" height="562" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wDWRzrrnusM?si=uDBOQEvWxfiojsHo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>&nbsp; Emergency workers, theater employees, and Chernihiv residents immediately joined in the rubble removal. Over 150 people gathered the day after the shelling for a cleanup and continued to come every day as long as needed despite the danger of collapses.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After the building was cleaned and inspected by the relevant services, it was declared an emergency, with 70% of the theater's premises unusable.

The season was started almost on schedule on October 6, with the premiere of Sin by Volodymyr Vynnychenko. At the same time, the theater began to undergo the first repairs. The roof and walls needed immediate conservation to preserve the building and its interior before the autumn and winter. Initially, the theater installed new windows, replaced the doors, and decorated the entrance gallery for visitors' safety.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Film4_2ee0a5f4ad.png" alt="Film4.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Film4_2ee0a5f4ad.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Film4_2ee0a5f4ad.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Film4_2ee0a5f4ad.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Film4_2ee0a5f4ad.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The International Fund, "Partnership for a Strong Ukraine," the French Agency for International Technical Expertise in France, and the Center for Art Assistance to Ukraine (Germany) were involved in the restoration of the building.

The project's total budget is over UAH 1 billion 304 million. In 2025, the project will be financed at the expense of a subvention from the state budget to local budgets for public investment projects in the healthcare sector.

The factory kitchen "ГотуЇмо" in Bucha is the first pilot project within the framework of School Nutrition Reform. The factory was constructed with the financial support of the American philanthropist Howard G. Buffett. The launch of the project made it possible to provide balanced school lunches to about 7,500 pupils daily, which significantly optimized the process of food organization in the community's educational facilities.

Irpin is one of the settlements in the Kyiv region that suffered the most during the full-scale invasion. The community suffered significant damage to eight schools, eleven kindergartens, and four institutions, including the Children's and Youth Sports School, the Irpin City Stadium "Champion," the Irpin Center for Out-of-School Education, and the Inclusive Resource Center. The Radist kindergarten was the most affected among all the kindergartens in the Irpin community.The kindergarten, which was one of the largest in the community with about 400 children and 65 employees, had been operating since 1985 before being impacted by the invasion.In March 2022, the kindergarten was repeatedly shelled by russians, and a direct hit caused a fire that damaged the roof. Water seeped inside and damaged a significant part of the building. As a result of the repeated shelling, explosions, and fire, the institution was damaged by 75%.After the de-occupation of Irpin, dozens of international delegations visited the city and had the opportunity to see the destruction caused to the community with their own eyes. The delegations from the Republic of Lithuania were among them. Shocked by the consequences of the aggression, Lithuanians immediately offered to help restore the kindergarten.<img class="image_resized" style="width:92.33%;" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Sadik15_0f41bfb1e0.jpg" alt="Sadik15.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Sadik15_0f41bfb1e0.jpg 245w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Sadik15_0f41bfb1e0.jpg 500w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Sadik15_0f41bfb1e0.jpg 750w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Sadik15_0f41bfb1e0.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px">In August 2022, the Lithuanian government chose four pilot projects to restore Ukraine, and Radist kindergarten was selected as one of them. The Lithuanians stressed that during negotiations with the Ukrainian side, they received a clear message that social and critical infrastructure were prioritized for restoration. That's why they assisted in restoring the kindergarten.The Irpin City Council and the Government of Lithuania signed the agreement to finance the restoration of the kindergarten and provide the necessary equipment. The project budget amounted to EUR 4.9 million. This sum was allocated by the Lithuanian Fund for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid.The Lithuanian Government, the Irpin City Council team, and the Irpin Recovery Fund worked together to implement the project, which was supervised by the Central Project Management Agency (CPVA). As a tribute to the Lithuanian people's assistance, the institution was renamed Ruta, which is symbolic in Ukrainian and Lithuanian mythology. The word "Ruta" has the same meaning and sound in both languages. Moreover, the exterior design of the kindergarten features the colors of the Ukrainian and Lithuanian flags.President of Lithuania Gitanas Nausėda: "Lithuania and all its people support Ukraine. The Government of Lithuania has already provided Ukraine with more than EUR 1 billion for restoration, military and humanitarian needs. Help is also coming from non-governmental and private organizations. It is very nice to see such a wonderful kindergarten, I can only imagine how happy the children will be here. I also like the name of the kindergarten - "Ruta" - it is highly symbolic. When children see this name and the Lithuanian flag, I believe, they will think of a country where many people who love Ukraine live."However, the reconstruction of the kindergarten is not just a matter of new building. It means 400 children will have a space to study for the new school year. Even when the reconstruction work was just underway, the electronic registration queue for the kindergarten exceeded the availability of the institution: the residents of Irpin were waiting for the opening. Thanks to the reconstruction of the kindergarten, parents can work while their children study. Such projects bring life back to the community, which russia tried to ruin.Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine - Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, thanked the Government of Lithuania for their support, calling the project an example of Ukraine's cooperation with international partners in the restoration area: "The restoration of educational facilities is currently one of the top priorities. It gives the community residents the possibility to do their job, knowing that their children are in a modern kindergarten with all the necessary equipment and a shelter. The kindergarten project must be added to the DREAM - digital restoration ecosystem for accountable management. This will enable anyone to access the project description, primary budget parameters, and construction stages. The kindergarten project sets an exemplary standard for community initiatives and planning, as well as equipment. In addition, it serves as proof that communities can independently attract international support for restoration projects, and the DREAM ecosystem will help them achieve it."The project took a year to complete. The rebuilt kindergarten was opened before the school year started, on August 24, 2023, on Ukraine's Independence Day.Mante Makauskaitė, Advisor to the Chancellor of the Government of Lithuania, recalls: "When we were about to select the first objects for reconstruction, we consulted with Ukrainian partners, institutions, and municipalities. Opening a kindergarten one year later is symbolic and political at the same time. I think that in wartime, this is a pretty quick job, and we are pleased with the cooperation of the local administration and the companies that worked on this facility. I think everybody was very motivated to do it as quickly as possible."<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kgig1dTWIbo?si=XbIXW6BvGc3Pu2li" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>After the renovation work, the Ruta kindergarten has a new modern building with an area of over 4,500 m2 and three floors instead of two. The kindergarten will be able to accommodate about 400 children organized into 13 groups. The building has music and sports halls, spaces for additional classes, modern sports, and playgrounds. Children with special educational needs will be provided with all the necessary conditions for education and upbringing (ramp, resource room, educational equipment). The shelter with modern ventilation and warning systems, bathrooms, recreation areas, and game materials is equipped in the basement. The new shelter was tested during its grand opening on Independence Day. During the air raid, children and parents, as well as guests of the ceremony, came down to the shelter, and activities like games and reading were organized for the children.<img class="image_resized" style="width:90.69%;" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Sadik_S_fb68cc4a4a.jpg" alt="SadikS.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Sadik_S_fb68cc4a4a.jpg 245w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Sadik_S_fb68cc4a4a.jpg 500w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Sadik_S_fb68cc4a4a.jpg 750w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Sadik_S_fb68cc4a4a.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px">Apart from providing funding, the Lithuanian government took the responsibility of implementing the project. The Central Project Management Agency (CPVA) of Lithuania, which has been operational in Ukraine since 2014, collaborated with the local administration to accomplish the reconstruction of the kindergarten. The Agency faced several challenges, as the project aimed to rebuild the kindergarten on the "build back better" principle, which included incorporating energy efficiency, modern materials, and technologies. Moreover, the work had to be completed within a limited timeframe, with limited resources.Arturas Žarnovskis, CPMA Co-Create Future of Ukraine Programme Manager, Lithuania, says: "It was a very ambitious plan to implement this project by September 1. But all the participants felt like one team with a common goal. It is very important to say that we cannot wait until the war is over to rebuild. People need to live now, children need to go to kindergarten now, they can't wait. And the local community needs to see the result and know that life can become normal again."Restoration means construction and equipment. To support and inspire the kindergarten teachers, Lithuanian partners organized a working trip to Lithuania for them to share experiences, teaching methodologies, and networks.Ksenia Katryach, director of the kindergarten, shares her impressions: "During our recent initiative, we established a pedagogical partnership with Lithuania. A group of 34 teachers from the Irpin community visited Lithuania to observe both municipal and private preschools. This experience allowed us to compare education systems between Lithuania and Ukraine and identify valuable insights we can apply in our work. Overall, it was an extremely informative and beneficial trip".Artūras Žarnovskis added that although the project is completed in terms of construction, it is just beginning. After all, the new generation of Ukraine will be brought up here, in Ruta kindergarten.Ruslan Kravchenko, Head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, emphasizes: "The future of every nation depends on its children. Our responsibility is to provide them with a calm and peaceful childhood. We are grateful to partners like Lithuania who support our efforts to restore the country and make plans for the future. Such support sends a clear message to other countries and international partners: it is crucial to rebuild Ukraine now."Ukraine's cooperation with Lithuania will not stop at the kindergarten. The Central Project Management Agency (CPVA) and the State Agency for the Restoration of Ukraine are working on several initiatives, including the School of the Future for Ukraine. This is the development of an adaptive technical design project for the construction of new schools. An international architectural competition aims to select the best reuse project that can be used by both Ukrainian institutions and international partners in the restoration process. Lithuanian partners emphasize that the project will accelerate the process of building new schools and attracting donors, and will save precious time for Ukrainian children to return to full-time education. The Lithuanian Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid Fund has already allocated EUR 16 million for the restoration of Ukraine.

To rebuild in a year, to keep to the plan and commitments. Ruta Kindergarten in Irpin, Kyiv region, was rebuilt and reopened with the assistance of the government of the Republic of Lithuania after being destroyed by rocket attacks, which demolished 75% of the original building. In just one year, the kindergarten, formerly known as Radist, has been transformed into a state-of-the-art educational institution that adheres to safety and inclusivity standards.

The organizers of the prestigious World Commerce &amp; Contracting 2025 Innovation &amp; Excellence Awards have recognized the implementation of the state DREAM ecosystem as a digital tool that determines the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of the restoration and development processes in Ukraine.&nbsp; It proves that the ecosystem is being developed and implemented in line with the highest international standards — thanks to the joint efforts of the Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, the Open Contracting Partnership, the "Digitalisation for Growth, Integrity and Transparency" project (UK DIGIT), Ukrainian communities, regional administrations, non-governmental organizations, and our international partners.&nbsp; Currently, 1280 communities are working with DREAM, and over 11,500 active projects with a total budget of UAH 1.3 trillion have been added to the ecosystem.&nbsp; DREAM's integration with government services, systems, and registries, strict compliance with regulatory requirements, and unified, clear rules for implementing projects on the build-back-better principle allows not only to ensure the effective allocation of funds for restoration using DREAM but also to change approaches to public investment in Ukraine.&nbsp; Today, anyone can use the public portal dream.gov.ua or the analytics module bi.dream.gov.ua&nbsp; to observe projects by state, region, or individual community;&nbsp; learn the state's Single Project Pipeline and Ukraine's recovery priorities;&nbsp; access project documentation and contractual processes; evaluate their effectiveness; check how many people will benefit from project implementation, etc.&nbsp; The next step is to implement the public investment management reform using the Unified Information System, of which DREAM is an integral part.&nbsp;This means that every stage, from planning, appraisal, and preparation of PIPs and programs to formation of sectoral and SPPs at different levels to decisions on financing and project implementation, will be carried out using DREAM.&nbsp; This path of innovation will affect the capacity and sustainability of the state's development in line with its strategic priorities and goals.&nbsp; We are grateful for your trust and support along the way.

The state is creating mechanisms for the even distribution of resources and their allocation in accordance with the identified needs and priorities of communities and regions.&nbsp; "Today, 19% of Ukraine's territory is occupied. Hundreds of thousands of facilities have been damaged or destroyed because of the war, and millions of people have been forced to leave their homes. The most challenging situation is in the communities located near the front line. Every day, they face challenges related to the destruction of infrastructure and the need to restore it to provide basic services to the population quickly.&nbsp; <img alt="DSC03390.JPG" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_03390_9fb67fef59.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_03390_9fb67fef59.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_03390_9fb67fef59.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_03390_9fb67fef59.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_03390_9fb67fef59.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Nevertheless, reconstruction continues, the economy works, and communities remain resilient.&nbsp; People are the key to this resilience. That is why the Government has decided to provide systemic financial support to frontline communities.&nbsp; The funds will be used to buy shelters and special equipment and restore critical infrastructure - everything that will help save lives.&nbsp; Large-scale recovery requires long-term planning and practical cooperation tools. The state is creating new mechanisms to strengthen community cohesion, interaction between countries, and trust at all levels," said Oleksiy Kuleba.&nbsp; Viktor Nestulia, Head of the DREAM Project Office, took part in the panel discussion "Reforms for a Better Future," during which the Forum participants were presented with the public investment management reform driven by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Economy, and the Ministry of Development. In particular, they discussed a new approach to distributing public funds at the national, regional, and local levels and ensuring transparency and accountability regarding their use. The speakers also spoke about the logic of the reform, the specifics of strategic planning, the principles of preparing and prioritizing investment projects and programs, forming project portfolios, and monitoring tools.&nbsp; <img alt="DSC03839.JPG" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_03839_cf3c50cf17.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_03839_cf3c50cf17.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_03839_cf3c50cf17.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_03839_cf3c50cf17.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_03839_cf3c50cf17.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> For their part, international partners expressed their support for the reform and emphasized its importance for increasing the sustainability of local governments.

Stefan Schlöning, Head of Cooperation at the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine, noted significant progress in implementing the reform, especially about transparent and accountable budgeting. He also noted that the reform was developed in line with European principles and approaches to public investment.&nbsp; Victor Nestulia summarized the discussion by noting that the DREAM Project Office, together with the ministries responsible for implementing the reform, is currently developing tools that will allow communities to better prepare for future changes.&nbsp; Throughout the event, the Forum participants had the opportunity to talk to representatives of the DREAM project office and ask questions directly about the changes that are expected to be made to the system in the context of implementing the public investment management reform. In a special interactive area, everyone had the opportunity to get acquainted with the ecosystem's functionality, view investment projects in the Single Portfolio that are already posted on the DREAM platform, key data on recovery and development projects, and test monitoring tools for analyzing open data.&nbsp; <img alt="DSC03431.JPG" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_03431_db108b4ea4.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_03431_db108b4ea4.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_03431_db108b4ea4.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_03431_db108b4ea4.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_03431_db108b4ea4.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> 85% of Ukrainian communities, 23 regional administrations, and all sectoral ministries work with the DREAM ecosystem.

Програма Форуму включала 4 панельних дискусії, які стосувалися важливості міжнародної підтримки та застосування передового світового досвіду у процесі відновлення, а також важливості збереження та розвитку людського капіталу, проведення реформ для посилення стійкості країни під час війни.&nbsp; <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_03549_7708c0850d.JPG" alt="DSC03549.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_03549_7708c0850d.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_03549_7708c0850d.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_03549_7708c0850d.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_03549_7708c0850d.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Зокрема, Віцепремʼєр-міністр з відновлення України – Міністр розвитку громад та територій Олексій Кулеба у своєму зверненні до учасників Форуму зауважив, що місцеве самоврядування є ключовим елементом стійкості держави, тому важливо всебічно підтримувати громади. Держава створює механізми для рівномірного розподілу ресурсів, та їх спрямування відповідно до визначених потреб та пріоритетів громад і регіонів. “Сьогодні 19% території України окуповано. Сотні тисяч об'єктів пошкоджено або знищено через війну, мільйони людей були вимушені залишити свої домівки. Найскладніша ситуація у громадах, які розташовані у безпосередній близькості до лінії фронту. Адже вони щодня долають виклики, пов'язані з руйнуванням інфраструктури та необхідністю її оперативного відновлення для забезпечення населення базовими послугами.&nbsp; <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_03390_5c590e45a5.JPG" alt="DSC03390.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_03390_5c590e45a5.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_03390_5c590e45a5.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_03390_5c590e45a5.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_03390_5c590e45a5.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Попри це, відбудова триває, економіка працює, громади залишаються стійкими. Запорукою цієї стійкості є люди. Саме тому уряд ухвалив важливе рішення про надання системної фінансової підтримки прифронтовим громадам. Кошти будуть спрямовані на укриття, спецтехніку, звʼязок, відновлення критичної інфраструктури - все те, що допоможе зберегти життя. Для масштабного відновлення потрібне довгострокове планування та ефективні інструменти співпраці. Держава створює нові механізми для посилення згуртованості громад, взаємодії між країнами та довіри на всіх рівнях”, - сказав Олексій Кулеба.&nbsp; Керівник проєктного офісу DREAM Віктор Нестуля взяв участь у панельній дискусії “Реформи заради кращого майбутнього”, під час якої учасникам Форуму було представлено реформу управління публічними інвестиціями, драйверами якої є Міністерство фінансів, Міністерство економіки та Міністерство розвитку. Зокрема йшлося про новий підхід до розподілу публічних коштів на державному, регіональному та місцевому рівнях, а також забезпечення прозорості та підзвітності їх використання. Також спікери розповіли про логіку реформи, особливості стратегічного планування, принципи підготовки та пріоритезації інвестиційних проєктів та програм, формування проєктних портфелів, інструменти моніторингу.&nbsp; <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_03839_51988199cd.JPG" alt="DSC03839.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_03839_51988199cd.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_03839_51988199cd.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_03839_51988199cd.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_03839_51988199cd.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Зі свого боку міжнародні партнери висловили підтримку реформі та підкреслили її значення для підвищення стійкості місцевого самоврядування. За словами генерального секретаря Конгресу місцевих та регіональних влад Ради Європи Матьє Морі, важливо, щоб повоєнне відновлення відбувалося з урахуванням потреб громадян. Керівник відділу співробітництва Представництва Європейського Союзу в Україні Штефан Шльонінг відзначив значний прогрес в реалізації реформи, особливо що стосується прозорого і підзвітного бюджетування. А також зауважив, що реформа розроблена з урахуванням європейських принципів і підходів до публічного інвестування. Підсумовуючи обговорення, Віктор Нестуля зазначив що наразі Проєктний офіс DREAM у тісній співпраці з міністерствами, відповідальними за впровадження реформи напрацьовують інструменти, які дозволять громадам краще підготуватися до майбутніх змін. Протягом усього заходу учасники Форуму мали можливість поспілкуватися з представниками проєктного офісу DREAM та безпосередньо поставити питання щодо змін, які очікують на користувачів системи в контексті впровадження реформи управління публічними інвестиціями. У спеціальній інтерактивній зоні всі охочі мали можливість ознайомитися з функціоналом екосистеми, переглянути інвестиційні проєкти в Єдиному портфелі, які вже зараз розміщені на платформі DREAM, ключові дані по проєктах відновлення та розвитку, а також протестувати моніторингові інструменти аналізу відкритих даних.&nbsp; <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_03431_3630b735dd.JPG" alt="DSC03431.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_03431_3630b735dd.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_03431_3630b735dd.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_03431_3630b735dd.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_03431_3630b735dd.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Наразі з екосистемою DREAM працюють 85% громад України, 23 обласні адміністрації та всі секторальні міністерства.

Міжнародний форум згуртованості: як реформи допомагають долати виклики війни

International Cohesion Forum: How reforms help to overcome the challenges of war

The expert working group under the Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine has completed the selection of projects for the third phase of the European Investment Bank's Ukraine Recovery Program III. Projects were submitted and selected through the DREAM ecosystem. This made it possible to automatically select, prioritize, and allocate funds based on specific criteria and conditions. It also ensured transparency and clarity for all participants in the process. As a result, 131 projects were selected with a total funding of UAH 4.5 billion. The projects were categorized by sector as follows:<ul><li>Energy facilities – UAH 1.1 billion for 37 projects</li><li>Modernization of water supply and sewage facilities – UAH 2.0 billion for 68 projects</li><li>Reconstruction of healthcare facilities – UAH 1.1 billion for 21 projects</li><li>Construction of social housing – UAH 0.3 billion for 5 projects</li></ul> The total implementation period for the approved projects is 18 months. The energy facilities are expected to be completed by October 2025, ahead of the heating season. <img alt="488908522_559719667151861_8154844766420926342_n.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/488908522_559719667151861_8154844766420926342_n_6bf89aaba7.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_488908522_559719667151861_8154844766420926342_n_6bf89aaba7.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_488908522_559719667151861_8154844766420926342_n_6bf89aaba7.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_488908522_559719667151861_8154844766420926342_n_6bf89aaba7.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_488908522_559719667151861_8154844766420926342_n_6bf89aaba7.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> According to Oleksii Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development, the Ministry's priority remains supporting the realization of local visions: “We trust communities and provide them with all the necessary tools: funding, expertise, and digital solutions. The approved projects must be implemented within a specific timeframe so that people feel tangible results as soon as possible. These projects align with national policies and regional strategies. This proves that communities are eager for development and ready for systematic work on upgrading their infrastructure.” Oleksii Riabykin, Deputy Minister for Communities and Territories Development, noted that nearly 4 million Ukrainians across 110 communities will benefit from the program’s implementation. This includes an additional 81 megawatts of electricity and at least 189 apartments for internally displaced persons. “We introduced a completely new approach to project selection. Each applying community had the chance to engage with the expert group and justify the motivation and significance of their projects. This ensured the process was open, transparent, and professional,” he added. <img alt="489944980_559719313818563_1664447926830910422_n.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/489944980_559719313818563_1664447926830910422_n_130a046b02.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_489944980_559719313818563_1664447926830910422_n_130a046b02.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_489944980_559719313818563_1664447926830910422_n_130a046b02.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_489944980_559719313818563_1664447926830910422_n_130a046b02.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_489944980_559719313818563_1664447926830910422_n_130a046b02.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Viktor Nestulia, Head of the DREAM Project Office, emphasized the critical role of digital tools in such a large-scale investment initiative. He noted that DREAM is already an integral part of public investment management in Ukraine, supporting the full project lifecycle—from application to implementation. “Together with the Ministry and the EIB, we used DREAM to collect applications, evaluate them, and allocate funds under the loan from international financial institutions. It was a crucial and successful phase. Today, anyone can access the DREAM public portal to view applications submitted under the Ukraine Recovery Program III. Users can easily explore project components, beneficiary data, estimates, documents, procurement status, and more. This greatly enhances transparency, accountability, trust, and overall program efficiency.” As a reminder, funding under the Ukraine Recovery Program III, signed between Ukraine and the European Investment Bank, will be transferred as a subvention from the state budget to local budgets. In January 2025, the call for applications was announced. Communities submitted projects aimed at modernizing distributed generation facilities, municipal housing, water supply and sanitation, and healthcare. Selection and funding allocation were conducted through the DREAM ecosystem.
