The UN-Habitat Programme team in Ukraine is currently launching the implementation of UN-Habitat's mandate in response to the ongoing emergency situation, through the engagement of the Urban Lab and UNITAC.
The ultimate objective of UN-Habitat’s engagement is to support Ukrainian partners and stakeholders towards a sustainable, effective, and inclusive recovery of urban areas in Ukraine in ‘building back better’.
UN-Habitat is in the process of establishing a country office in Ukraine, initially focused on two projects. The first project, “Towards inclusive and resilient urban recovery in Ukraine”, aims to support the recovery of cities and towns in Ukraine through the provision of policy and technical advice on national and local levels, engage regional and local authorities in urban recovery planning, and finally, building capacities among relevant urban stakeholders, including academia and other organisations. The second project is implemented by UNITAC, "Just transitions in vulnerable places – Digital tools and capacity for inclusive, smart and resilient urban recovery in Ukraine" aims to develop digital urban data platforms together with national, sub-national and local government institutions and support their efforts to improve climate resilience and recovery planning.
