The Government approved the Action Plan for 2025-2027, which contains 101 paragraphs on the comprehensive restoration of regions: from the reintegration of de-occupied territories to the creation of modern social infrastructure in communities.

The Action Plan outlines specific steps for Ukraine's recovery and development amid the ongoing war. The document is structured around three strategic goals: building a consolidated state; increasing the competitiveness of regions; and developing effective governance.

‘The adoption of this Plan is a logical continuation and practical implementation of the goals of the State Strategy for Regional Development for 2021–2027. It is a roadmap for Ukraine’s recovery and development over the next three years. It will ensure that efforts are coordinated at all levels of government to achieve sustainable and inclusive development in every region of our country,’ emphasised Oleksii Riabykin, Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories.

The key areas of the Plan are stimulating regional development and reintegrating de-occupied territories, ensuring high-quality public services in education, healthcare, culture and social protection, as well as social protection for war veterans and internally displaced persons.

The Plan provides for the development of a network of institutions and services, including the creation of 4,500 safety classes in educational institutions, the creation of 800,000 square metres of social housing, as well as mental health centres and the establishment of safety centres in communities.

Special focus is paid to developing regional economies through the creation of new jobs, attracting investment, promoting tourism and introducing digital technologies.

The document was developed to implement the State Strategy for Regional Development for 2021–2027, approved by the Government in 2020 and updated in August 2024.

The Plan is designed for a period of three years and includes 101 tasks, each with clear performance indicators, implementation deadlines and sources of funding from state and local budgets, as well as international sources.

Approval of the Action Plan for the implementation of the State Strategy for Regional Development for 2021–2027 is one of the EU’s key recommendations regarding Section 22, ‘Regional Policy and Coordination of Structural Instruments’.
