In 2022, UNECE established the UN4Kharkiv and UN4Mykolaiv initiative to support the Ukrainian national and local governments in their efforts to prepare for rebuilding and reconstruction of Ukrainian cities. Since April 2022, on the request of the Ministry of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure, UNECE is implementing two pilot projects in the cities of Kharkiv and Mykolaiv. The UN4Kharkiv and UN4Mykolaiv Task Forces, coordinated by UNECE, support work of international and Ukrainian architects, engineers and other experts on the development of reconstruction master plans for the two cities.
The objective of the UN4Kharkiv and UN4Mykolaiv initiative is to support the national government and the two cities to build back better following a balanced, evidence-based, participatory approach that links emergency and long-term strategic objectives.
The project kick-off meeting brought together the main project partners and city representatives as well as national level representatives to discuss and fine-tune the different activities of the project.
