The main purpose of the study is to map post-war recovery initiatives for the period 2022 - March 2023; develop recommendations on the optimal format for supporting projects; identify priority thematic areas in the field of post-war recovery; and determine the needs of organisations working in the field of recovery.
Objectives of the study:
- mapping of initiatives, projects, and key players at the international, national, and regional levels in the field of post-war reconstruction for the period 2022-2024 (both projects that are already being implemented and those scheduled to start in the second half of 2023 and 2024);
- identification of the main international, national, and regional players in the field of post-war reconstruction working in the newly liberated territories of Ukraine;
- mapping of the main donors, their thematic priorities, and types of support (e.g. grants, procurement, expert support, etc.) in the area of post-war reconstruction for the period 2022- 2024 (both projects that are already being implemented and those scheduled to start in the second half of 2023 and 2024);
- identifying thematic areas and types of post-war recovery activities in which civil society organisations are involved;
- identifying thematic areas that are being developed in parallel by several projects/initiatives and those areas that, on the contrary, are not sufficiently supported by projects/initiatives;
- identification of the highest priority thematic areas of projects in the field of post-war reconstruction;
- identification of the main requests and needs of the authorities at the national and regional levels in the area of post-war reconstruction;
- analysis of the presence or absence of mechanisms or initiatives to coordinate projects in the field of post-war reconstruction;
- exploring ways of networking and interaction between sectors working in the field of recovery, in particular at the community level; assessment of the capacity and readiness of the parties to engage in joint activities in the field of recovery;
- providing recommendations to donor organisations and civil society organisations on optimising and launching new projects/initiatives and the optimal format of projects;
- provide recommendations on the required level of capacity and the need to increase the capacity of civil society organisations to be real and effective agents of reconstruction and communicators on the ground;
- provide recommendations on the needs of civil society organisations at the national and regional levels working in the area of post-war reconstruction;
- identify regions/amalgamated territorial communities for which support in post-war reconstruction is most critical.
