Recovery and Development of De-Occupied Communities: Financing, Governance, Human Capacity
Diclaimer: This content was not edited by the German Council on Foreign relations (DGAP).
Ukrainian communities (hromadas) have experienced the war in very different ways. Yet their ability to recover depends on one critical factor: absorption capacity.
This policy brief by the Institute of Annalytics and Advocacy (IAA) examines how well communities can attract, manage, and use resources for recovery and development. Based on a study of 25 de-occupied hromadas in Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions, this study analyzes their recovery experience, current capacities, and key obstacles.
The paper offers practical recommendations to strengthen local absorption capacity - a vital condition for effective reconstruction, new investment, and a faster return to normal life.
