Today Ukraine is facing its most serious challenges since achieving independence in 1991. The ongoing war has already resulted in significant loss of life, unprecedented displacement, internally and towards neighboring countries, and devastating destruction of infrastructure.
According to the most recent Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment, poverty has risen in a year from 5.5 percent to 24.1 percent, and Ukraine’s GDP has shrunk by 29.2 percent. As a consequence, there have been dramatic setbacks to many of the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to poverty, health, education, energy, industry, peace and justice. It is estimated that $411 billion is now needed to rebuild and recover from the full-scale Russian invasion.
As part of the coordinated UN response, UNDP has been assisting the people and Government of Ukraine to recover and reconstruct from the onset of the full-scale invasion, ensuring that immediate needs are linked to long-term goals. To tackle the growing recovery needs, UNDP developed and is implementing, with the support of several international partners, its Resilience Building and Recovery Programme. The Programme provides solutions to the realities of a fast-moving context and is geared towards advancing a humanitarian-development response to the devastating impacts of the war.
