The DREAM ecosystem has been enhanced with additional options for project initiators that allow you to specify the characteristics of restoration and modernization projects. 1. In the card of restoration projects on the public portal http://dream.gov.ua, a «Funding needed» mark has appeared on the cover (or in the «header»), which additionally signals the project's need for funding. Therefore, if the creator selects the «Project is seeking funding» option in the «Funding sources» section, an additional icon will appear on the project card, and the project itself will be placed in a separate pipeline under the «Funding request» filter. <img alt="fund nedded1.png" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/fund_nedded1_3f56ebceed.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_fund_nedded1_3f56ebceed.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_fund_nedded1_3f56ebceed.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_fund_nedded1_3f56ebceed.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_fund_nedded1_3f56ebceed.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> <img alt="fund needed.png" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/fund_needed_94a6efab4b.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_fund_needed_94a6efab4b.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_fund_needed_94a6efab4b.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_fund_needed_94a6efab4b.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_fund_needed_94a6efab4b.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> 2.

DREAM updates: «Funding needed» mark in profile and details of  project’s participation in financial programs 

The DREAM Project Office has introduced an LMS (Learning management system) http://academy.dream.gov.ua/ that streamlines the creation, delivery, and reporting of training courses and programs at the DREAM Academy, enhancing the learning experience for all. Creating an online platform will provide equal access to training and teaching materials for all and facilitate electronic document management, training, assignment checking, feedback, communication, etc. - One of our main tasks in implementing DREAM is training and supporting communities. We offer a variety of training materials and technical solutions to strengthen the capacity of project initiators. For almost a year of work, the DREAM Academy team has held over 60 training events - webinars, offline trainings, workshops - reaching tens of thousands of community representatives from all over Ukraine. The creation of the educational platform academy.dream.gov.ua allows us to form a methodological framework, systematize access to academic and practical materials, and provide users with opportunities for self-education and testing, - said Larysa Snigiryova, Head of the DREAM Academy, DREAM Project Office. The platform is being actively filled and improved. Already, you can find information and training materials in various formats, including instructions, articles, webinar recordings, and FAQs. Our platform is designed with your convenience in mind. In a user-friendly calendar format, the bulk events are announced with the possibility of registering participants. DREAM Academy's next step in platform development will be:<ul><li>launching a full-fledged knowledge base (to replace instructions in Google documents);</li><li>creating distance programs, courses, development of test tasks;</li><li>and training to develop an expanded list of hard and soft skills.</li></ul>

School canteens: applying period for subventions through DREAM started

The Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MES) has reviewed projects for state funding to overhaul or construct shelters in general secondary education institutions. This year, communities submitted projects through DREAM. From April 18 to April 26, 108 projects were submitted for funding from the subvention. The regional military administrations approved 64 projects, considering the strategic vision of the region's development and understanding of the security situation. The MES Commission selected 50 projects to receive funding. These are projects for repairing and constructing shelters, mainly in 8 frontline and border regions. The total cost of these projects is UAH 2.19 billion. The approved projects include:<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Kharkiv Oblast - construction of 5 anti- radiation shelters and storage facilities and overhaul of 1 anti-radiation protection shelter;</li><li>Dnipropetrovsk oblast - construction of 6 anti-radiation shelters and storage facilities and overhaul of 2 dual-purpose structures;&nbsp;</li><li>Zaporizhzhia oblast - construction of 5 anti-radiation shelters;</li><li>Chernihiv oblast - construction of 5 anti-radiation shelters and repair of 2 anti-radiation shelters;</li><li>Mykolaiv oblast - construction of 3 shelters and repair of 4 protective structures and anti-radiation shelters;</li><li>Kherson oblast - construction of 3 protective structures and overhaul of 1 basement;</li><li>Odesa oblast - construction of 3 dual-purpose structures and repair of 1 structure;</li><li>Sumy region - construction of 4 and repair of 1 anti- radiation shelter.</li></ul>&nbsp;In addition, 4 projects in Cherkasy, Mykolaiv, Khmelnytskyi, and Chernihiv regions will receive state funding to complete the construction of shelters started in 2023. Under the terms of the subvention, such projects should have already been funded and completed by at least 40%. The estimate of projects in some regions is less than the amount allocated by the government, so soon, communities will be able to submit their projects as part of the additional subvention and receive approval from the Regional Military Administration and consideration by the commission. Details on the additional subvention will be published on the website of the Ministry of Education and Science. It is worth reminding that the subvention for shelter in 2024 has been distributed among general secondary education institutions that operate in distance and/or mixed forms of education. The government has identified 8 priority regions and the maximum amount of state funding.<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Kharkiv oblast &nbsp;- UAH 500 million;</li><li>Dnipropetrovsk oblast - UAH 500 million;</li><li>Zaporizhzhia oblast - UAH 500 million;</li><li>Mykolaiv oblast - UAH 200 million;</li><li>Kherson oblast - UAH 200 million;</li><li>Odesa oblast - UAH 150 million;</li><li>Sumy oblast - UAH 150 million;</li><li>Chernihiv oblast - UAH 150 million.&nbsp;</li></ul> These regions need priority funding, as hundreds of thousands of children cannot return to full-time education due to the lack of shelters. Communities that haven't received funds to equip safe educational spaces will be able to raise funds from other sources, such as international partners or donors. If communities want to receive additional funding, they can use the DREAM system. For more information, please follow the link. Additional materials on the development of design and estimate documentation, arrangement and financing of shelters can be found on the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fortetsia.gov.ua/">fortetsia.gov.ua</a> portal. Separately, you can review already developed reuse projects and adapt them to the needs of the educational institution. Some of these projects have already been used by hromadas as part of their subvention applications.

Safe education: projects for the construction of school shelters at the expense of subventions were selected

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has introduced a procedure for granting subventions that focuses on the purchase of equipment and the creation and modernization of canteens in general secondary education institutions. The Ministry of Education and Science (MOES) will now select projects using the DREAM system, that ensures a fair and transparent allocation of funds. In 2024, the state budget of Ukraine provides for a UAH 1.5 billion subvention for the modernization of canteens. Communities will submit projects through the DREAM ecosystem to receive the subvention. Under the new procedure, the DREAM system plays a crucial role in the project selection process. It aids in the prioritization of projects, forming lists by region and for each type of technological catering model. These lists are then reviewed and verified by a commission established by the Ministry of Education and Science, which ultimately decides the final list of projects to be funded by the subvention. This streamlined mechanism ensures faster, more transparent, and more efficient allocation of funds.&nbsp; The main requirements for receiving a subvention include<ul><li>availability of design and estimate documentation or terms of reference for design;</li><li>establishment within a year or availability of a kitchen factory in the region where the project is planned to be implemented;</li><li>the presence of several adjacent educational institutions receiving services to the school where the hub kitchen will be located;</li><li>safety of the educational process (full-time/mixed learning, availability of shelters, or provision of shelters by the end of the calendar year);&nbsp;</li><li>co-financing from local budgets;&nbsp;</li><li>an integrated approach that involves the purchase of equipment, reconstruction, and overhaul of premises;&nbsp;</li><li>project completion by the end of the current year.&nbsp;</li></ul> The MOES team and DREAM are committed to supporting the regions at every stage of applying for a subvention. From creating project documentation to implementing the project, we are here to guide and assist you. We remind you that the procedure for distributing subvention for constructing shelters in educational institutions was successfully launched in April. As a result, 50 projects were selected for funding. Thus, the Ministry of Education and Science became the first ministry to cooperate with the DREAM ecosystem within the framework of financial programs.

Subvention for canteens and food units in schools will be distributed using DREAM

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has signed an agreement with the Vysokopillia village community in Kherson Oblast to finance a water supply network repair project. The project was selected through the DREAM ecosystem."For the first time, international restoration partners have selected a project for funding directly through the DREAM ecosystem. The selected project is of particular importance, as it will help restore water supply in the affected community and improve the lives of its residents. This is one of the key tasks of the system - to create investment profiles of communities and a single convenient bank of restoration projects to attract funding from various sources," said Oleksandr Kubrakov.The project, which is in line with the Community Recovery and Development Plan, involves the overhaul of the water supply network in the village of Vysokopillia. Its total budget is UAH 28.4 million. The project will help restore the centralized water supply and provide the community with quality drinking water."Supporting affected communities is one of UNICEF's priorities. For us, openness and transparency of projects and the community's willingness to publicly report on their implementation are critically important. That's why we use the DREAM ecosystem to select projects and monitor their implementation," said Nicholas Osbert, Chief of the WASH Section (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Ukraine.UNICEF's agreement with Vysokopillia municipal service contains, among other things, a requirement to submit up-to-date information on the project implementation to the DREAM ecosystem. Project details are available via the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://dream.gov.ua/project/DREAM-UA-020224-444A2E45/profile">link</a>."The DREAM system was created to ensure transparency in restoration, which is so important for international partners. We are grateful to UNICEF for their trust and use of the system to select projects. This cooperation should become another example of the successful functioning of DREAM and an impetus for other international partners to take advantage of all the system's capabilities," said Viktor Nestulia, Head of the DREAM Project Office, Open Contracting Partnership. UNICEF plans to support another similar project in the Kherson region's Vysokopillia community (Arkhangelske village) and the Novovorontsovsk community. Both projects are included in the DREAM ecosystem.Background For seven months, the Vysokopillia community has been outside the control of the Government of Ukraine, with active hostilities taking place on its territory. The shelling damaged 1793 private houses out of 4429, all 52 apartment buildings, 13 educational institutions out of 15, and 18 out of 19 healthcare facilities. Due to the undermining of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam, the water level in the village's wells and private wells dropped by 2-2.5 meters. Only 35% of residents are provided with a centralized water supply. 2 communal enterprises are providing centralized water supply and sewerage services in the community - "Vysokopillia" municipal service and "Arkhangelske" municipal service of the Vysokopillia settlement council. &nbsp;

Digital democracy: eIDEA platform prototype presented

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MES) has presented new rules for allocating subventions to arrange a safe educational environment in educational institutions. The main innovation of the financial program is the distribution of subventions using digital tools, namely the state digital restoration ecosystem for accountable management - DREAM. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/PIR_0548_df6e07d951.jpg" alt="PIR_0548.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_PIR_0548_df6e07d951.jpg 234w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_PIR_0548_df6e07d951.jpg 500w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_PIR_0548_df6e07d951.jpg 750w,https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_PIR_0548_df6e07d951.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"> - The Ministry of Education and Science has become the first to cooperate with the DREAM ecosystem under the financial program. It is an important step that will help to transparently and efficiently allocate public funds to repair or construct shelters. Separately, communities will be able to attract additional funding, as some international partners, organizations, and investors are already waiting for projects to be formed in DREAM to join in arranging safe educational space and contribute to the future of Ukrainian education, - said Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine - Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine. <img alt="PIR_0602.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/PIR_0602_ab7b310a58.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_PIR_0602_ab7b310a58.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_PIR_0602_ab7b310a58.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_PIR_0602_ab7b310a58.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_PIR_0602_ab7b310a58.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> The DREAM team, together with the Ministry of Education and Science, is already conducting workshops for communities on using the platform.

He noted that more than 900,000 children are currently studying online, including more than 200,000 abroad, which affects the quality of education, socialization, and competence development. That is why, together with the Ministry of Education and Science, they are implementing a comprehensive School Offline policy. <img alt="PIR_0302.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/PIR_0302_c47506cda3.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_PIR_0302_c47506cda3.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_PIR_0302_c47506cda3.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_PIR_0302_c47506cda3.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_PIR_0302_c47506cda3.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> - We plan to create safe conditions for offline learning for 300,000 students by the end of 2024 when the security situation allows. As part of the project, we analyzed data sets using Palantir technology to assess the region's security situation and identify priority areas where we can return to safe face-to-face learning. After all, high-quality data is the basis for making effective management decisions. We continue to implement Palantir in education. In particular, to analyze data on children's academic progress and their correlation with the security situation, - said Mykhailo Fedorov. Today, there are communities in Ukraine where students study remotely. Still, if there is a shelter, they can return to full-time education if the security situation allows. The Minister of Education and Science, Oksen Lisovyi, outlined the key steps to returning children to full-time education. <img alt="PIR_0355.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/PIR_0355_f634a42e3d.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_PIR_0355_f634a42e3d.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_PIR_0355_f634a42e3d.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_PIR_0355_f634a42e3d.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_PIR_0355_f634a42e3d.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> - The issue of returning children to full-time education is critical. After all, the Covid pandemic has caused significant educational losses to Ukrainian education, and the full-scale invasion only exacerbates this trend. According to the international PISA study results, Ukrainian students are 1.5 years behind the required level. Our task is restoring access to quality education, not deepening educational losses. We also need to work together to ensure the safety of our children. We have already developed policies to facilitate the return to full-time education, - emphasized Oksen Lisovyi. This year, the state budget has allocated UAH 2.5 billion for significant repairs and shelter construction. Previously, subvention funds were allocated to regional budgets, after which local authorities decided which communities and educational institutions would receive funding for shelters. To make the mechanism transparent, funds will be distributed to communities through the DREAM ecosystem. <img alt="PIR_1016.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/PIR_1016_1acfee40bd.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_PIR_1016_1acfee40bd.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_PIR_1016_1acfee40bd.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_PIR_1016_1acfee40bd.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_PIR_1016_1acfee40bd.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Communities will independently submit projects to the DREAM ecosystem to receive state funding for shelters. The main requirements include<ul><li>the availability of design and estimate documentation for the construction or overhaul of the shelter;</li><li>the educational institution must have at least 200 children enrolled;</li><li>the project must be completed by the end of 2024;</li><li>confirmed co-financing from the community of at least 10% of the total project cost.</li></ul>After submitting a project, the DREAM system automatically calculates points according to specific criteria. For more information on the conditions for obtaining a subvention and project evaluation criteria, follow the link on the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fortetsia.gov.ua/dream.html">My Fortress website</a>). Also, during the event, eight typical shelter construction projects were presented, which the Ministry of Education and Science developed jointly with UNICEF and the Buffet Foundation. These are design estimates that can be adapted to the specifics of each educational institution and reused. - To ensure a safe learning environment for children, UNICEF has developed project specifications and design documents for new shelters in kindergartens and schools. We have adapted these designs for educational institutions with different student numbers, considering children's needs, well-being, and compliance with state standards. UNICEF continues to make every effort to create a safe and enabling learning environment for every child in Ukraine, - said John Marks, UNICEF Deputy Chief of Operations in Ukraine. <img alt="PIR_0909.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/PIR_0909_a04a59b1cb.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_PIR_0909_a04a59b1cb.jpg 234w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_PIR_0909_a04a59b1cb.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_PIR_0909_a04a59b1cb.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_PIR_0909_a04a59b1cb.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Currently, each community spends approximately five months to develop a project design for the construction of shelters, as well as UAH 1-1.5 million per educational institution. The reuse projects will reduce the time to 1-1.5 months and save money spent only on geological work concerning a specific area. All projects are created according to new standards and meet modern challenges. Hromadas will be able to adapt them to the needs of educational institutions and use them to apply for the DREAM system. Each community will be able to use them free of charge.

DREAM ecosystem was presented to communities of the Mykolaiv region

The renovated Lithuanian-Ukrainian Lyceum No. 1, designed for 700 students, was officially opened in Borodyanka. The school, damaged by rocket and bomb attacks and shell hits at the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, was restored and modernized thanks to Lithuanian investments. In gratitude for the support, Borodyanska's Lyceum No. 1 changed its previous name. A unique autonomous underground shelter equipped with an elevator was built as part of the project. It can comfortably accommodate up to 800 people at a time. -Since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, Lithuania has provided comprehensive support to Ukraine, particularly in restoring educational institutions. Modern, safe, comfortable schools and kindergartens are not just education for children; they are an opportunity to restore life in the affected communities. The Lyceum in Borodyanka is a vivid example of such projects added to the DREAM ecosystem, ensuring its implementation transparency and accountability. I am grateful to our Lithuanian partners for their support, which will only grow, - said Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine - Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine. The reconstruction budget of the Lithuanian-Ukrainian Lyceum No. 1 amounted to almost EUR 8 million (UAH 365.5 million). The Central Project Management Agency (CPVA) implemented the project, which was funded by the Lithuanian Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid Fund. According to the Lithuanian Minister of Economy and Innovation, Aušrinė Armonaitė, Lithuania is helping to rebuild Ukraine's destroyed cities without waiting for the end of the war and has already allocated more than €14 million for the reconstruction of a temporary settlement, rebuilding of schools, kindergartens, and other projects. In addition, the B2Lithuania platform has enabled Lithuanian businesses to actively participate in Ukraine's infrastructure reconstruction projects by registering and contributing to Ukrainian reconstruction projects. - Together we will rebuild Ukraine, and together we will achieve victory for all of us, - the Minister said at the opening ceremony of the Lyceum. - Children cannot be targets of war. Attacks against children are terrorism. The newly opened Lithuanian-Ukrainian Lyceum signifies hope and Ukraine's imminent victory. When Ukraine wins against Russia's barbaric aggression, the graduates of this school will be the creators of a new Ukraine. We must mobilize all our efforts to ensure this happens as soon as possible, - said Gabrielius Landsbergis, Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs. The renovated Lyceum in Borodyanka is a new, modern three-story building. Classrooms are equipped with smart boards and interactive tables for primary education, and teachers' workstations have computers, printers, and other devices. Project page in the DREAM ecosystem: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bit.ly/3PpFWqu">https://bit.ly/3PpFWqu</a> The new experience of building an autonomous shelter next to a school has become the impetus for a program to build six more such shelters across the country, funded by the European Union and Lithuania (15.5 million euros). In addition, Lithuania has announced an international architectural competition as part of the School of the Future for Ukraine project, which aims to create a ready-to-implement and free adaptive architectural design for constructing new schools in Ukraine. CPVA will also be responsible for implementing these projects.&nbsp; - Rebuilding Ukraine's education system is one of Lithuania's priorities in supporting Ukraine. Whether rebuilt or new, each school or kindergarten represents more than an educational space — it symbolizes Ukraine's resilience, strength, and optimism for the future, emphasizing that Ukraine is not alone in this fight, - says CPVA Deputy Director Rasa Suraucienė.&nbsp; The Central Project Management Agency (CPVA) has been actively working in Ukraine since 2017. In 2023, the agency implemented a project to rebuild the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://dream.gov.ua/casestudies/case-study-ruta">Ruta kindergarten in Irpin</a>, which was damaged by 75% during the attacks on Ukraine.
