  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.
