The PIM reform establishes mechanisms and a system that will provide future access to European structural funds. "In July, communities and regions will start preparing their medium-term plans for priority public investments (MIPs) based on their development strategies. Planning is the first stage of reform implementation, providing further preparation and groundwork for projects. The MIP outlines the priority areas of public investment for the next three years, along with the estimated financial requirements for their implementation. We must clearly define what we need and the amount of money required. Our international partners are ready to provide funds. Still, our need must be justified in terms of cost, implementation time, number of users of infrastructure and services, and other criteria," emphasized Oleksii Ryabykin. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_05303_166c5cf3b7.jpg" alt="DSC05303.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_05303_166c5cf3b7.jpg 234w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_05303_166c5cf3b7.jpg 500w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_05303_166c5cf3b7.jpg 750w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_05303_166c5cf3b7.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"> Olena Ursu, Team Leader of the Democratic Governance and Inclusive Society Project at UNDP Ukraine, thanked the representatives of communities and regions for their work on the ground. She noted that it is essential for the UNDP to enhance the institutional capacity of communities and their ability to manage data, including through the DREAM ecosystem. Through the use of digital tools, processes become transparent and accountable, which increases the responsibility of all stakeholders and promotes better coordination of financial and technical assistance. Equally important is the involvement of people in the lives of their communities and the state. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_05420_bfeb85a099.jpg" alt="DSC05420.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_05420_bfeb85a099.jpg 234w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_05420_bfeb85a099.jpg 500w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_05420_bfeb85a099.jpg 750w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_05420_bfeb85a099.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"> During the presentation of the general logic of the reform, Inna Stets, Chief Operation Officer of the DREAM Project Office, outlined the key tasks for implementing the reform at the community and regional levels. She also emphasized that the algorithms and functionality of the DREAM ecosystem are being updated to reflect the new regulatory framework and innovative approaches to public investment management. This is done to help communities avoid mistakes in the preparation and work with investment projects. "It is important that all project preparation processes will be unified under the PIM reform and that investment projects themselves will be placed in the same ecosystem. Thanks to DREAM, priority investment areas become visible to all stakeholders. The legislation requires new approaches to project development based on the logic of public investment management reform. The transformation is not easy, but the DREAM Project Office is making every effort to adapt to change more comfortably. Our service managers, managers of the DREAM Training Academy, are ready to provide support and accompany communities and ACOs on the path of change," said Inna Stets. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_05485_0248f71c24.jpg" alt="DSC05485.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_05485_0248f71c24.jpg 234w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_05485_0248f71c24.jpg 500w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_05485_0248f71c24.jpg 750w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_05485_0248f71c24.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"> For his part, Vitaliy Khvorostyanyi, DREAM's Partner and User Relations Manager, focused on the main emphases and stages of training of local and regional MIPs. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_05742_a2e4a84b28.jpg" alt="DSC05742.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_05742_a2e4a84b28.jpg 234w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_05742_a2e4a84b28.jpg 500w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_05742_a2e4a84b28.jpg 750w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_05742_a2e4a84b28.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"> DREAM Academy Training Manager Nadiya Kovalska discussed the institutional support for implementing the reform at the local and regional levels.

Public Investment Management Reform was presented in Kyiv

The second in a series of regional events, initiated by the Ministry for &nbsp;Development of Communities and Territories, the DREAM Project Office with the support of UNDP and the Government of Japan, took place in Dnipro. These meetings aim to clarify the essence of the Public Investment Management (PIM) reform and its practical implementation features at the local and regional levels. <img alt="Copy of DSC05163.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_05163_9894fcd7dd.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_05163_9894fcd7dd.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_05163_9894fcd7dd.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_05163_9894fcd7dd.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_05163_9894fcd7dd.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000">The event brought together over 500 participants, including representatives from the Ministry for Development, as well as the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kirovohrad regions and communities, the DREAM Project Office, civil society, experts, and international partners.Participants received a detailed overview of the key stages involved in implementing the PIM reform at both regional and local levels. Particular attention was given to the legislative framework of the reform, the importance of establishing a management structure at community and regional levels, developing Medium-Term Priority Public Investment Plans (MIP), preparing public investment projects and programs, forming sectoral portfolios and the Single Project Pipeline, and opportunities for attracting funding. <img alt="Copy of DSC04978.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_04978_11553ad0be.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_04978_11553ad0be.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_04978_11553ad0be.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_04978_11553ad0be.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_04978_11553ad0be.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000">Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Oleksii Riabykin thanked the participants for their proactiveness and emphasized the importance of learning to better prepare for changes and successfully implement projects aligned with local development strategies and people’s needs. He also highlighted the role of the DREAM Project Office team in implementing the PIM reform. <img alt="Copy of DSC04917.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_04917_59ad02115c.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_04917_59ad02115c.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_04917_59ad02115c.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_04917_59ad02115c.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_04917_59ad02115c.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000">“The reform transforms approaches to public finance management. In particular, it facilitates the unification of planning processes, identifying priority investment areas at the community, regional, and national levels in line with their respective development strategies. This provides all participants in the process with a clear understanding of what is required to implement a specific project, including the number of personnel needed, the necessary funding amount, and the sources from which it can be obtained. The MIP serves as a guide in this process, outlining investment priorities and allocating resources accordingly. It is important to understand that the country has limited resources and to attract international funding, we must form project and program portfolios that are well-grounded, properly assessed, and identified as a priority for implementation,” said Oleksii Riabykin.Ana Lucatela, Head of Regional Recovery at UNDP Ukraine, noted that access to international funds and the ability to utilize their resources require mastering strategic approaches to planning and managing public investments. A systematic approach enables better coordination of assistance and directs it to projects that truly matter to society. In addition to explaining the overall logic of the PIM reform, its principles, and approaches, participants were introduced to the digital architecture of the reform — specifically, the features of the DREAM ecosystem, which serves as a “single window” for managing public investments. <img alt="Copy of DSC04983.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_04983_01dcabae9f.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_04983_01dcabae9f.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_04983_01dcabae9f.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_04983_01dcabae9f.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_04983_01dcabae9f.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> All processes — from MIP development, project and program preparation at the national, regional, and community levels, their assessment and prioritization, to the formation of sectoral portfolios and UPPs and their implementation — occur within the digital system. This ensures transparency and accountability. DREAM supports the PIM reform at all stages of its implementation, particularly in terms of user training and support. &nbsp;“The main task of the reform is to build a public investment management system that enables Ukraine to utilize European structural funds effectively. To achieve this, planning and investment management approaches must be synchronized with international practices. Currently, there are 18 different mechanisms for preparing public investment projects in Ukraine. To unify them, a significant transformation is needed. Our common goal is to create an investment ‘menu’ in the form of project portfolios within DREAM, enabling more effective public finance management at all levels. The Government of Ukraine, together with the DREAM Project Office team, will provide methodological support to all process participants to ensure a swift adaptation to these changes,” added DREAM Project Office Head Viktor Nestulia. <img alt="Copy of DSC05038.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_05038_129d6a9b2f.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_05038_129d6a9b2f.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_05038_129d6a9b2f.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_05038_129d6a9b2f.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_05038_129d6a9b2f.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Special attention was given to the formation of the MIP. Oleksandr Matsapura, Head of Partner and User Relations at the DREAM Project Office, discussed the principles of developing a medium-term plan, including priority public investment areas, target indicators, and compliance criteria. Based on the MIP, budget financing limits are defined, and public investment projects and programs are formed. He stressed that the plan is developed over three years, approved along with the budget declaration, and reviewed annually to reflect changes in priorities and needs at all levels. <img> Anastasiia Prokhorova, Partner and User Relations Manager at the DREAM Project Office, explained how communities could identify priority public investment areas aligned with the state MIP and demonstrated how to prepare projects and programs, assess them, and set priorities using concrete examples.

PIM Reform: Dnipro hosted the presentation event for Communities and Regions

An event aimed at clarifying the essence of the Public Investment Management (PIM) reform and the specifics of its practical implementation for regional and local authorities took place in Chernihiv.This was the first in a series of regional events that brought together over 300 participants, including representatives of the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Sumy and Chernihiv Regional State Administrations, communities from Sumy and Chernihiv regions, the DREAM Project Office, civil society, the expert community, and international partners. Participants had the opportunity to engage in discussions about the key stages of implementing the PIM reform, including the development of a Medium-Term Plan of Priority Public Investments (MIP), methodologies for preparing public investment projects and programs, the creation of sectoral portfolios, and a Single Project Pipeline at the national, regional, and local levels. According to Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Oleksii Riabykin, the foundation of the reform is strategic and medium-term planning. The reform introduces changes, including the transformation and unification of planning processes, the identification of investment directions, and the determination of development priorities for communities and regions. <img alt="Copy of DSC04417.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_04417_1a427409fc.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_04417_1a427409fc.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_04417_1a427409fc.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_04417_1a427409fc.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_04417_1a427409fc.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> "Our task today is to learn how to align strategies with financial capabilities. First and foremost, this reform is focused on people — they need to understand how public funds are spent and be able to influence processes in their communities. Strategic planning is crucial not only for the effective allocation of budgetary funds but also for attracting international investments. International partners want to know how our communities and regions plan to develop, what our priorities are, and what we aim to achieve. That is why, within the reform, we are working to provide local authorities with the tools needed to access European structural funds so that development is balanced and reaches all areas of the country," said Oleksii Riabykin. Starting in July, communities and regions will begin preparing their Medium-Term Priority Public Investment Plans (MIPs), followed by the development of projects and programs in September. By December, they will form Single Project Pipelines. In this context, regions and communities must prepare for the practical implementation of new approaches to managing public investments. As noted by Vitalii Bezgin, Member of Parliament of Ukraine and Chair of the Subcommittee on Administrative-Territorial Structure and Local Self-Government of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on State Building, Local Governance, Regional Development, and Urban Planning, it is vital to understand that after the war, there will be a significant shortage of funds for community recovery. Therefore, it is essential to lay the groundwork for attracting international financing now—including through the PIM reform. "When we talk about public investments, we mean not only our internal resources but also the opportunity to attract external investments. That's why it is crucial to teach local actors how to properly prepare investment projects that will also be attractive to international investors," said Vitalii Bezgin.<img alt="Copy of DSC04316.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_04316_f5572b4f2f.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_04316_f5572b4f2f.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_04316_f5572b4f2f.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_04316_f5572b4f2f.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_04316_f5572b4f2f.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> The DREAM ecosystem, as part of the Unified Information System, serves as the digital foundation for public investment management reform. DREAM functions as a "single window" for public investment management. All stages—from the formation of PPIs and the preparation of projects and programs at the national, regional, and community levels to the development of sectoral portfolios and the Unified Project Portfolio—are facilitated within this ecosystem. Clarifying the logic behind the reform and strengthening the capacity of project initiators are among the most important goals of the reform's implementation. "We will make every effort to explain the logic of the reform to all involved specialists. The DREAM Project Office will provide full support. Shortly, step-by-step methodological recommendations for communities will be approved. The reform will be embedded in the system through detailed guidelines and examples. DREAM will be your assistant in navigating the world of public investment management reform," said Viktor Nestulia, Head of the DREAM Project Office. <img alt="Copy of DSC04488.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_04488_3ff16673e6.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_04488_3ff16673e6.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_04488_3ff16673e6.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_04488_3ff16673e6.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_04488_3ff16673e6.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> &nbsp;During the event, special attention was given to the institutional capacity of communities and regions. Yana Krasnopolska, Training Manager at the DREAM Academy, emphasized the importance of establishing local investment councils, public investment allocation commissions, and dedicated departments for managing public investments.<img alt="Copy of DSC04633.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_04633_41d96c1227.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_04633_41d96c1227.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_04633_41d96c1227.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_04633_41d96c1227.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_04633_41d96c1227.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> She also noted that in February this year, an Interagency Working Group on the preparation of public investment projects was established, including representatives from the Ministry for Community Development, the Ministry of Economy, and the Ministry of Finance.The PPU (Project Preparation Unit) facilitates better project preparation and financing at all levels. To address challenges related to limited institutional capacity and financing for project and program preparation, the Government is collaborating with international financial institutions, including the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the World Bank Group, to develop a Framework Program for Project Preparation in Ukraine. This structure will coordinate project preparation through the Project Preparation Facility (PPF), enabling the development of projects that meet quality, environmental, and social standards. Ana Lucatela, Head of Regional Recovery at UNDP Ukraine, emphasized the importance of collaboration among the Government, parliament, regional administrations, and communities—with support from the international community—for the successful implementation of key reforms in Ukraine. UNDP and other international partners emphasize the central role of communities in the recovery process, including their ability to gather transparent and verifiable data on recovery needs. Strategic planning is also a key priority for donors. Therefore, communities and regions must invest in training and preparing specialists to enhance their institutional capacity.<img alt="Copy of DSC04296.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Copy_of_DSC_04296_46ceb515ad.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Copy_of_DSC_04296_46ceb515ad.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Copy_of_DSC_04296_46ceb515ad.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Copy_of_DSC_04296_46ceb515ad.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Copy_of_DSC_04296_46ceb515ad.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> The event was jointly organized by the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine, the DREAM Project Office, and the Open Contracting Partnership, with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine, as part of the flagship EU-UNDP partnership "EU4Recovery – Empowering Communities in Ukraine," and the project "Support to Inclusive Recovery for Resilience and Human Security in Ukraine," funded by the Government of Japan.Such events aim to strengthen the capacity of communities, prepare them for the next steps in working with public investments, and gather feedback and suggestions to enhance the implementation process of the reform.

PIM Reform: Presentation for Communities and Regions Representatives took Place in Chernihiv

Ukraine is revising its rules and adopting global best practices to ensure transparent and effective coordination of public investments. As part of the public investment management (PIM) reform, the Government is implementing the "Ukrainian Projects" program, aimed at ensuring the country's sustainable development by establishing a unified approach to identifying priority areas for capital investment. As Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal emphasized, the reform envisions a combination of strategic vision, comprehensive planning, and transparent financial resource allocation. "For the first time, we have a clear list of national priorities. Now, only projects that are truly needed by the people and the country receive funding. In the context of limited resources, we are advancing development and reconstruction here and now. That's why the quality, speed, and efficiency of implementation are essential. All projects undergo a single selection pathway based on economic, security, and social relevance," said Denys Shmyhal. "Ukrainian Projects" include the construction and restoration of the country's most critical infrastructure. These projects are selected based on transparent criteria and new rules that ensure the effectiveness of every hryvnia invested while also building public and international trust.&nbsp; What is included in the "Ukrainian Projects" program?<ul><li>Restoration and protection of energy facilities (hydro, thermal, decentralized generation)</li><li>Reconstruction and construction of new water and heat supply facilities</li><li>Major repairs and development of healthcare institutions</li><li>Housing reconstruction for Ukrainian citizens</li><li>Construction of shelters and kitchen facilities in schools</li><li>New schools and kindergartens</li><li>Bridges, critical roads, and railways Infrastructure thermal modernization</li><li>Infrastructure for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)</li><li>Rehabilitation centers for veterans</li></ul> According to the Prime Minister, all projects follow a single selection process that includes justification from strategic, economic, commercial, financial, and managerial perspectives. Additionally, projects must meet security criteria and be socially relevant. DREAM serves as a "single window" for working with public investment projects and programs in Ukraine. All stages of the public investment management (PIM) reform are implemented using the DREAM ecosystem — from planning and development of the Medium-Term Public Investment Plan, project preparation, appraisal, formation of sectoral pipelines, and the Single Project Pipeline at the national, regional, or community level. Moreover, DREAM enables monitoring and control of project implementation, ensuring efficiency, transparency, and accountability throughout the process.

Government Program "Ukrainian Projects": A Systematic Approach to Development and Reconstruction of the Country

The 3rd Annual International Summit of Cities and Regions, attended by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, government officials, parliamentarians, international partners of Ukraine, and heads of Ukrainian and European cities, municipalities, and communities, was held in Kyiv. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_09854_1_e733d9b24c.JPG" alt="DSC09854 (1).JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_09854_1_e733d9b24c.JPG 234w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_09854_1_e733d9b24c.JPG 500w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_09854_1_e733d9b24c.JPG 750w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_09854_1_e733d9b24c.JPG 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"> The main idea of the Summit, which was held this year under the slogan "United for Peace and Security," is to consolidate efforts at both the national and international levels to support and develop Ukrainian communities. This includes partnerships and patronage from foreign cities and regions.In the context of preparations for URC2025, which will be held in early July in Rome, Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine and Minister for Development of Communities and Territories, Oleksii Kuleba, noted that even in the face of a brutal war, Ukraine continues to implement systemic changes to strengthen the institutional capacity of communities and improve the living standards and prosperity of Ukrainians. <img alt="AR_06230.JPG" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/AR_06230_d0e599ee3a.JPG" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_AR_06230_d0e599ee3a.JPG 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_AR_06230_d0e599ee3a.JPG 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_AR_06230_d0e599ee3a.JPG 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_AR_06230_d0e599ee3a.JPG 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> According to Kuleba, over the three years of the full-scale Russian invasion, 500 Ukrainian communities have signed more than two thousand agreements with authorities from 64 countries. The government's task is to formulate the principles of sustainable governance at all levels and to create equal conditions for the development of all territories based on strategies and societal needs. The Government of Ukraine continues to implement public investment management reform, which establishes a unified pathway for the implementation of public investment projects and programs.Transparency and accountability in all processes within the reform are ensured through digital tools such as the DREAM ecosystem. This is a unique Ukrainian development, created based on international recommendations and best practices for forming public investment projects, adapted to the Ukrainian context, and enabling stakeholders to track all processes in real-time. <img alt="DSC03946.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_03946_45d1260d58.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_03946_45d1260d58.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_03946_45d1260d58.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_03946_45d1260d58.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_03946_45d1260d58.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> DREAM serves as a digital assistant in the public investment management reform for all clients and system users. In the DREAM interactive zone, Summit participants had the opportunity to test the ecosystem's capabilities. Project office specialists demonstrated how to use the ecosystem's analytical tools — the Business Intelligence Module and DREAM's Interactive Map — with specific examples. These tools provide information on individual projects, including financial needs, budgeting, contracting processes, and contractors, as well as data samples by sector, region, and other categories. <img>DREAM experts emphasized that well-prepared projects aligned with strategies, priorities, and needs will enable communities to apply for state funding and gain access to European structural and investment funds for their implementation. International partners expressed their readiness to continue supporting the implementation of the DREAM ecosystem as part of the public investment management reform.This tool will allow them to conduct their investment policy more effectively. Investors can be confident in the feasibility of their investments, as DREAM reflects the real priorities of the state and the specific needs of each sector. Thus, digitalization and transparency facilitate dialogue between authorities and international partners, helping to establish sustainable partnerships. Ukraine's resilience lies first and foremost in the resilience of its communities. That is why international partners are interested in sharing their experience and investing resources at the local level, in cities, regions, towns, and villages, to build strong partnerships that can swiftly restore infrastructure, adapt it to European standards, and improve the common good.

United for Peace and Security: Summit of Cities and Regions took place in Kyiv

The Government of Ukraine continues to advance the reform of public investment management (PIM). The Cabinet of Ministers has approved the Resolution "Some Issues of Public Investment Management," which sets out the procedures for implementing the reform. The procedures were developed jointly by the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Finance, and both Ukrainian and international experts. They cover:<ul><li>the preparation of public investment projects and programmes;</li><li>the formation of a Single Project Pipeline at national, regional, and local levels, as well as sectoral pipelines at each of these levels;</li><li>the appraisal of public investment projects and programmes;</li><li>the implementation of public investment projects and programmes across all levels of government.</li></ul>The PIM reform integrates strategic and medium-term budget planning, enabling the Government to allocate financial resources to priority projects in line with national development goals and the current needs of the Ukrainian people. This approach ensures greater transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the use of public funds. The new procedures establish a unified framework for managing public investment projects, supported by the Unified Information System that includes the DREAM ecosystem. The procedures draw on international best practices, including the UK Five Case Model and recommendations from the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) and the European Investment Bank’s JASPERS programme. Moreover, the procedures incorporate the "build back better" principles, accounting for social considerations, environmental impact assessments, safety, energy efficiency, inclusiveness, and gender equality. The Medium-Term Plan for Priority Public Investments, scheduled for approval in May 2025, is currently being developed.In parallel, the government team, development partners, and the DREAM Project Office are preparing training campaigns to familiarise project initiators and implementers with the reform’s logic, enhance their capacities, and equip them to work effectively with the digital tools at its core. At present, the functionality of the DREAM ecosystem – a key tool for forming the Single Project Pipeline – is being upgraded to provide a robust mechanism for implementing the PIM reform. We extend our gratitude to its partners from the European Commission, the UK Government, the World Bank, the UK’s International Programme Assistance (IPA), the Tony Blair Institute, the Open Contracting Partnership, the Green Transformation Office, and the DIXI Group for their invaluable support in developing and preparing these procedures.

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.

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.

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.

Successful projects in DREAM: New сanteens opened in two Kolomyia Lyceums

According to the report undertaken jointly by the World Bank Group, the Government of Ukraine, the European Commission, and the United Nations, with support from other partners, Ukraine's recovery needs have reached $524 billion. These data were presented during an event attended by the Prime Minister of Ukraine, members of the Government, representatives of diplomatic missions, and international partners. Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine and Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Oleksiі Kuleba, and the World Bank Regional Country Director for Eastern Europe Bob Saum, presented updated data from the fourth and the most comprehensive Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA4) report on Ukraine's damage caused by the large-scale russian invasion. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/481179258_1173877358081152_9024085047441931842_n_f61bc209bd.jpg" alt="481179258_1173877358081152_9024085047441931842_n.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_481179258_1173877358081152_9024085047441931842_n_f61bc209bd.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_481179258_1173877358081152_9024085047441931842_n_f61bc209bd.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_481179258_1173877358081152_9024085047441931842_n_f61bc209bd.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_481179258_1173877358081152_9024085047441931842_n_f61bc209bd.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> The report covers the period from February 2022 to December 2024. The RDNA4 estimates that direct damage and losses to Ukraine's infrastructure are currently around $176 billion, an increase of $24 billion since the previous report (RDNA3). The most affected sectors are housing - 33% of the total damage, transportation - 21%, energy and mining - 12%, and trade and industry - 10%. In the energy sector, the number of damaged or destroyed assets increased by 93%, including electricity generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure. 72% of all damages fell to the Donetsk, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Kyiv regions. According to Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, considering the enormous losses, reconstruction should become a global project. Reconstruction is based on the key principle of Build Back Better, which means implementing the modern standards of safety, energy efficiency, accessibility, inclusiveness, and environmental friendliness.&nbsp; - The restoration must start now. It affects the quality of life of millions of people, the prospects for the return of Ukrainians from abroad, and the creation of growth points that will move our economy forward. The report already identifies 348 priority projects totaling $17 billion, and 127 projects worth $7 billion have partial or full funding. I am grateful to the World Bank for a thorough and high-quality assessment of Ukraine's damage and needs. Its results will serve as the basis for recovery planning for the near future, - Denys Shmyhal emphasized. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/481469489_1173868058082082_3986087109896744872_n_1737f7bd72.jpg" alt="481469489_1173868058082082_3986087109896744872_n.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_481469489_1173868058082082_3986087109896744872_n_1737f7bd72.jpg 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_481469489_1173868058082082_3986087109896744872_n_1737f7bd72.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_481469489_1173868058082082_3986087109896744872_n_1737f7bd72.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_481469489_1173868058082082_3986087109896744872_n_1737f7bd72.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> In 2025, nine sectors will be prioritized for Ukraine's recovery.

RDNA4: The updated report on Ukraine's recovery needs

City Hospital No. 9 in Kamianske is a key medical facility in the Dnipropetrovsk region. It houses the only maternity ward in the city and oncology, cardiology, and traumatology departments, which provide daily lifesaving and urgent medical care. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, over 35,000 internally displaced persons have relocated to the city. As Kamianske is close to active combat zones, the hospital continues to receive patients injured by shelling. It has significantly increased the workload on medical staff.The hospital’s building reconstruction project started in the summer of 2024. It included building insulation using modern “wet facade” technology. Window units must replaced with energy-saving ones with armored film, the oxygen supply system and utilities must be modernized, and new hospital elevators must be installed. A heating block will be replaced to increase the building’s energy efficiency. The project is being implemented using barrier-free and inclusive principles, including ramps and setting up inclusive WC. - I want to highlight the positive work with the DREAM ecosystem. This year, we tried a new application format that was much more effective, simpler, and transparent. The DREAM platform allows us to quickly and efficiently upload all necessary documents, and international partners can see that funds are being used transparently, - Vitalii Mandziuk, Head of the Health Department of the Kamianske City Council said. The hospital continues to provide a full range of medical services even during reconstruction. The total project budget is UAH 215.8 million, and the work completion is scheduled for 2025. The project was added to the DREAM ecosystem, and all data on its implementation are available in the project profile - https://bit.ly/3QtBI17 and in the business intelligence module - bi.dream.gov.ua.
