From roads to waterworks: How Ukraine delivers major infrastructure projects?

We invite you to take part in the event “From roads to waterworks: How Ukraine delivers major infrastructure projects?”, held within the framework of the EU-funded project ” The recovery spending watchdog”.

With the outbreak of war, the Large Construction Program was put on the back burner. Other infrastructure projects, driven by the consequences of Russian aggression – from restoring water pipelines to developing border infrastructure – have taken priority.

On 10 February at 15:00 (Kyiv time) on Zoom, together with invited guests, we will discuss which large-scale projects are being implemented during the war, what the current priorities are, and to review achievements and outline future plans. The regisrtation is available by the link.

The event will be held in Ukrainian with simultaneous translation into English.
