The economic impact of the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, launched on 24 February 2022, will be significant at national, regional and global levels as per initial analysis and forecasts from the IMF and OECD. UNDP’s early projections suggest that 18 years of development gains could be wiped out in the next 12 to 18 months with 90 percent of the Ukrainian population potentially facing poverty and extreme economic vulnerability should the war deepen.

Destroyed infrastructure, disrupted supply chains, large-scale displacement and migration and falling demand have had dire economic consequences. Industries suffer from the shutdown of enterprises in combat zones, threatening about two-thirds of Ukraine’s annual commodity exports.

Supporting businesses has a positive impact on social cohesion, since it allows the interaction between host communities and internally displaced populations, who will develop networks that could ultimately become support and integration mechanisms. Business support, consisting of both (i) business relocation (not only equipment, but also personnel, their families), and (ii) active engagement of internally displaced persons in the work of local enterprises in the region will strengthen social cohesion in the city through the constant interaction of IDPs and the local population, the need for IDPs of leaving the places of their compact (and often physically isolated) temporary residence, forming a sense of belonging to the region and returning to a normal way of life, which will also have the effect of psychological relief for the men and women affected by the war, which, in turn, should lead to reducing the risk of tensions and conflicts in the country.

Entrepreneurs from the east and south parts of Ukraine face three main challenges: displacement, loss of assets and need for integration into the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Both the City and the Oblast Administration have structured economic support and recovery interventions, focusing on supporting local businesses and businesses looking to relocate in the Region.

To address those challenges, and in alignment with national and local plans and strategies, UNDP has structured support interventions to:

Support local economies by boosting the capacities of local MSMEs, equitably targeting women- and men-led businesses;
Support relocation processes of businesses from the eastern, southern and central regions of Ukraine.

These interventions aimed in the short- and medium-term will build up on the incentives set by local authorities, as well as on the subsequent phases of recovery, where support will focus on strengthening businesses to become export-oriented with the aim of continuing the internationalization of Ukraine’s economy.

Businesses in the cities and oblasts will benefit from the interventions since the projects will be also open to local businesses. Interventions like matching businesses for shared facilities will benefit host businesses with consultants.

To this end, UNDP Ukraine seeks to hire a highly qualified and experienced Ukrainian professional for the post of Analyst on Livelihoods and Entrepreneurship within the “Support to Entrepreneurs and Livelihoods” Project (Output #00131756, Award #00143805)”. Under the overall guidance and direct supervision of the Project Manager, the Analyst on Livelihoods and Entrepreneurship will be responsible for the coordination of the livelihoods and MSMEs’ support activities of the Project. The incumbent will promote UNDP’s mandate as a gender-responsive organization with zero tolerance for any kind of discriminatory and abusive behaviour, including sexual harassment, sexual exploitation and abuse.
