Toward Inclusive Recovery in Ukraine

Women’s participation in the design and implementation of Ukraine’s recovery programs is critical to maximize the effectiveness of the reconstruction process, take into account differentiated needs, and bolster post-conflict development. 

Key recommendations:

1. Promote women’s participation, leadership, and decision-making in Ukraine’s planning frameworks and recovery process.
2. Ensure new funding enables women’s active participation in Ukraine’s recovery and advances gender equality.
3. Establish a gender-sensitive monitoring mechanism for the Ukrainian government to report on recovery progress and collect and analyze sex-disaggregated data.
4. Prioritize the re-establishment of critical social infrastructure and services.
5. Integrate gender equality in Ukraine’s EU accession commitments.
