The first National Medium-Term Plan of Priority Public Investments was approved on July 2.
It is a document that defines the sectors and priority streams of investment that the state plans to allocate public investments to over the next three years, as well as the estimated amount of funding that will be directed to priority streams from various sources.
The document was approved by the Strategic Investment Council and adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine simultaneously with the approval of the Budget Declaration for 2026–2028.
According to the plan, there are 12 priority sectors for public investment, namely: transport, municipal infrastructure and services, housing, energy, education and science, healthcare, social sphere, legal activities and justice, public finance, environment, public services and related digitalization, as well as public safety.
To achieve the state's strategic development goals, public investments will be directed precisely to these sectors over the next three years. The estimated amount of public investments, determined by the Ministry of Finance for the medium-term period, is UAH 581.3 billion.
The largest funding is envisaged for the following sectors:
- transport – over UAH 198 billion;
- energy – over UAH 120 billion;
- education and science – over UAH 82 billion;
- healthcare – over UAH 43 billion;
- housing – over UAH 18 billion;
- municipal infrastructure and services – over UAH 12 billion.
The approval of the national-level MIP is one of the priority steps within the public investment management reform. The PIM reform combines strategic and medium-term budget planning, enabling the state's financial resources to be directed to key projects following government priorities and the current needs of Ukrainians, ensuring transparency, accountability, and the efficient use of funds at all levels.
By amendments to the Budget Code and CMU Resolution No. 294, adopted on February 28, 2025, the Ministry of Economy developed the Medium-Term Plan based on proposals from 15 sectoral ministries.
The DREAM Project Office team was involved in coordinating the development of proposals to the MIP with each of the sectoral ministries. In particular, they presented and explained the plan's logic to teams from the 15 involved ministries, analyzed sectoral strategies, trained on system functionality, and supported the responsible teams at each stage of proposal development.
As a result of dozens of workshops and consultations involving Ukrainian and international experts, including the Open Contracting Partnership and the RFA (Recovery for All) project, 27 proposals were formed for the medium-term plan, covering 170 public investment streams.
Following a series of coordination meetings with sectoral ministries and a detailed analysis by the Ministry of Economy — which considered, in particular, the results of the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA4), the Ukraine Facility, and the defined priorities within the activities of the Ukrainian Donor Coordination Platform — 51 streams were defined as key or priority for inclusion in the National Medium-Term Plan of Priority Public Investments for 2026–2028.
The main public investment streams are aligned with the objectives of the State Strategy for Regional Development of Ukraine, as well as sectoral strategies, and have priority for funding.
The Medium-Term State Public Investment Plan was developed using the DREAM ecosystem.
This allows:
- review each stage of the MIP formation and implementation;
- analyze and evaluate priority sectors and subsectors of public investment in detail;
- examine the state's cross-cutting goals;
- determine streams for which projects and programs should be initiated;
- check with clear target indicators for each stream;
- view the indicative ceiling total volume of public investments for 2026–2028 by source of funding;
- explore investment funding amount by sector per year: 2026, 2027, 2028.
You can find the state's MIP on a separate page of the public portal — https://dream.gov.ua/mtp — and in the DREAM analytics module.
Based on the Medium-Term Plan and key investment areas, projects and programs will be developed, which will be incorporated into the updated Single Project Pipeline, scheduled for release in July–August 2025.
The Medium-Term Plan serves as the foundation for establishing an effective and efficient public investment management system. The MIP ensures that all public investments are aligned with the strategy and strategic objectives at both the national and local/regional levels.
Moreover, all projects and programs must comply with the state's cross-cutting goals, which include:
- rational use of energy resources;
- implementation of energy-efficient technologies;
- infrastructure adaptation to new challenges and environmental protection;
- inclusion of principles of equality, barrier-free access, and accessibility for all population groups.
To be included in the Sectoral pipeline and the Single Project Pipeline and to be eligible for strategy.
Currently, the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories is working on creating an effective and differentiated regional policy, taking into account the specific characteristics of each macro-region. High-quality planning and preparation of SSRDs, regional strategies, and local development strategies influence the attraction of investment to community projects.
The Ministry for Development, together with the Open Contracting Partnership, other partners, and the DREAM Project Office team, is preparing explanatory and training campaigns to help better understand the logic of the reform and each of its stages, enhance local capacity, and ensure effective use of the digital tools at the heart of this reform. Budget financing, projects, and programs must be initiated by the streams specified in the Medium-Term Plan.
