Government Program "Ukrainian Projects": A Systematic Approach to Development and Reconstruction of the Country
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.
What is included in the "Ukrainian Projects" program?
- Restoration and protection of energy facilities (hydro, thermal, decentralized generation)
- Reconstruction and construction of new water and heat supply facilities
- Major repairs and development of healthcare institutions
- Housing reconstruction for Ukrainian citizens
- Construction of shelters and kitchen facilities in schools
- New schools and kindergartens
- Bridges, critical roads, and railways Infrastructure thermal modernization
- Infrastructure for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)
- Rehabilitation centers for veterans
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.
