General Information
Program Description
The full-scale war caused large-scale destruction in Ukraine, affecting every sphere of life - from housing to social, educational, energy, and medical infrastructure. Therefore, recovery should not be fragmentary, but comprehensive - one that takes into account the needs of communities, preserves the architectural logic of the environment, integrates new standards (energy efficiency, barrier-free, digitalization) and creates a basis for long-term sustainability. The program is designed to help implement the best practices obtained by Ukraine in 2022-2025 from recovery in relevant communities, settlements, microdistricts and neighborhoods for a cross-sectoral approach to recovery and high-quality harmonious development of infrastructure and social, medical, educational, economic and other sectors of the economy. To qualitatively simplify the situational analysis, a pool of best practices has been formed that will be included in this program. And the geography of the project will allow us to flexibly respond to the challenges associated with the war in Ukraine.

Program Components
Component ID
DREAM-А5
Transport and engineering infrastructure
Justification
Without roads, bridges, and utilities, economic recovery is impossible. Rebuilding transport corridors restores access to markets and jobs, and rebuilding water, heat, gas, and electricity networks guarantees basic living conditions.

Program coordination and management
Justification
Effective implementation of the program is possible only with a clear management system. To do this, it is necessary to create a program office, define the roles of central and local authorities, and establish mechanisms for interaction with donors and international organizations. Coordination through DREAM will ensure centralized management of all projects, minimize the risks of corruption and duplication, and guarantee transparency. It is important that the Agency for the Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine is involved in the process, which has already shown high-quality results in the implementation of programs within the framework of Resolution No. 251 (restoration of settlements) and Resolution No. 412 (construction and restoration of infrastructure facilities). This allows for a high level of management, quality control, and transparent interaction with communities, international partners, and donors, as the Agency has practical experience, proven mechanisms, and trust from stakeholders.

Social infrastructure
Justification
The reconstruction of schools, hospitals, cultural and sports facilities, administrative buildings, and public amenities is critical to ensuring access to basic services for the population. Integrating accessibility and shelter principles makes these facilities safe and modern. Social infrastructure is the basis for the return of IDPs and the development of human capital.

Energy and environmental sustainability
Justification
The war caused significant damage to the energy system, so the recovery must be based on the principles of energy efficiency, renewable energy and the circular economy. This reduces dependence on fossil fuels and increases climate resilience

Social inclusion and communities
Justification
Included in each of the above components. Reconstruction must be inclusive — take into account the needs of vulnerable groups, IDPs, people with disabilities, ensure accessibility and gender equality. This is not only a social, but also an internationally binding aspect for Ukraine (SDGs, Agreement with the EU).

Institutional and regulatory support for the program
Justification
The implementation of the Comprehensive Recovery Program requires a unified legal, methodological and institutional framework. Today, communities and regions are faced with fragmented approaches to planning, which leads to incoherence of actions, duplication of projects and inefficient use of resources. In accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Regulation of Urban Planning Activities” and Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 711, it is comprehensive recovery programs that should become the basic planning tool. They ensure the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals, state strategies and international obligations of Ukraine. The creation of unified methodological recommendations will allow communities to apply a unified approach, which will ensure comparability, transparency and predictability of projects. Defining a clear institutional architecture (the role of the Ministry of Recovery, the Recovery Agency, regional state administrations/regional autonomous regions and communities) guarantees effective coordination of actions. In addition, the implementation of the DREAM digital ecosystem as a single mandatory platform will allow systematizing all projects, simplify monitoring and ensure the trust of international partners due to the openness of data. Thus, the institutional and regulatory framework is the foundation for further implementation of the program, without which comprehensive recovery is impossible.

Justification document
What potential funding sources can be mobilized on the basis of prior agreements or intentions to cooperate (if any)
The Comprehensive Recovery Program is expected to be financed primarily from the State Budget of Ukraine. This is a coordinated approach, which is confirmed by the practice of implementing two current government programs (Resolution No. 251 and Resolution No. 412). Given the scale and complexity of the tasks, the program will be broader in nature and will integrate the best practices obtained in the process of community recovery in 2022–2025. Additionally, in order to enhance the effect and accelerate the implementation of measures, it is planned to attract grant resources from international donors and charitable contributions in the amount of up to 20% of the total cost of the program. Such agreements are already being discussed with Ukraine's partners, including the EU, the World Bank, the EBRD and a number of international development agencies. It is important to emphasize that the initiative to create the Program has been agreed with the Ministry of Recovery and is being implemented in close cooperation with the Agency for Recovery and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, which has already demonstrated its ability to high-quality coordination and implementation of large-scale projects. This format ensures the appropriate level of state responsibility, transparency, and efficiency in the use of funds, and also builds the trust of international partners.
