Team Europe launches €37 million EU4Reconstruction programme to support inclusive reconstruction in Ukraine

The European Union together with Denmark, Germany, France and Lithuania, have launched EU4Reconstruction, a €37 million Team Europe initiative to strengthen the governance and accountability of Ukraine’s reconstruction, and ensure sound and transparent public investment aligned with EU standards.

The initiative, launched on 11 November, unites Europe’s best reform and implementation experience – integrity and accountability frameworks, digital tools, municipal management and civic oversight – in one coordinated effort. EU4Reconstruction will support the government’s leadership in planning, coordinating, and monitoring reconstruction efforts.

Over the next three years, EU4Reconstruction will:  

• strengthen Ukraine’s national reconstruction governance and regulatory framework; 
• help municipalities plan, finance and deliver infrastructure projects to EU standards; 
• support the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development and its ecosystem in effectively managing large public investments; 
• expand the role of citizens, civil society, and media in monitoring reconstruction. 

“Today is not just about rebuilding what was destroyed. It is about redefining Ukraine’s future. With the launch of EU4Reconstruction, we are investing in more than bricks and bridges. We are investing in people, in transparency, in green recovery,” said Katarína Mathernová, EU Ambassador to Ukraine.

“Together with our European partners, we are creating a foundation for a modern reconstruction governance that reflects European values and accelerates our path to the EU,” said Oleksiy Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine and Minister for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine.

The €37 million three-year programme will be implemented by GIZ, Expertise France, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, and Lithuania’s Central Project Management Agency (CPVA), working with the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, the Agency for Restoration, and dozens of municipalities across Ukraine.
