EU and UNDP officially launch EUR 50 million EU4Recovery Phase II partnership for Ukraine | United Nations Development Programme
New phase of the partnership scales up integrated, area‑based support to strengthen local governance, decentralized social and health service delivery, economic recovery and social cohesion in war-affected communities
Dnipro, Ukraine, 6 May 2026 – The European Union (EU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine have officially launched Phase II of EU4Recovery, a strategic partnership between the EU and UNDP aimed at supporting war‑affected communities across Ukraine while advancing the country’s path towards EU integration.
Building on the strong results of Phase I, which supported more than 100 communities in 2022-2025, the new phase will deliver equipment, infrastructure upgrades, capacity-building, technical assistance, training and targeted support to strengthen local authorities’ ability to lead recovery and reform processes.
With a total budget of EUR 50 million for 2026-2028, the partnership will enhance decentralized social and health services, promote economic recovery and strengthen social cohesion, with a particular focus on veterans, youth and people returning to their homes.
The official launch of EU4Recovery Phase II coincides with a joint EU‑UNDP visit to partner regions, where representatives will meet with local authorities and residents to discuss the outcomes of UNDP’s Area‑Based Recovery (ABR) approach in helping communities plan, coordinate and deliver essential services during wartime.
