During the sixth meeting of the Ukraine Investment Framework (UIF) Steering Board, a new package of eight programs for Ukraine with a total value of EUR 1.5 billion was approved. These include the European Investment Bank's comprehensive program “Public Sector and Related Grants for 2026-2027” (Jumbo application). 

The provision of grants and guarantees under the UIF mechanism is only the beginning of the work; the next stage will be the preparation and signing of agreements for the actual receipt of funding.

The total amount of funding allocated for the implementation of eight existing and new EIB program projects is EUR 605.75 million. The Ministry for Communities and Territories Development is responsible for coordinating and implementing 77% of them, with a total value of EUR 466.5 million. This includes grant and loan financing as well as technical assistance.

The overall focus is on the development and modernization of transport infrastructure, in particular roads, housing rehabilitation, energy efficiency, and shelters for social infrastructure.

"Approval of the JUMBO application funding will allow for the expansion of reconstruction in the most critical areas. And the combination of EIB credit lines with European Union grant support under the UIF allows for a reduction in the financial burden on budgets. The Ministry's priority remains not just rebuilding what has been destroyed, but creating sustainable infrastructure: from road repairs and the development of strategic logistics routes to energy-efficient housing and safe shelters. Every euro of these millions is an investment in the mobility, safety, and quality of life of Ukrainians, in line with the best European standards and the Build Back Better principle," says Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine — Minister for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine Oleksii Kuleba.

Key areas of funding:

  • the second tranche of the Solidarity Lanes project for the modernization of motorways — EUR 106 million,
  • scaling up the Energodim and VidnovyDim programs, enabling condominium associations and management companies to restore damaged housing in a faster and more energy-efficient manner — EUR 123 million,
  • construction and repair of shelters in buildings being restored under EIB municipal programs — EUR 26.5 million,
  • ensuring the maintenance of railway infrastructure and the development of rail connections — EUR 132.5 million,
  • the development of checkpoints on the western border — EUR 68.5 million,
  • as well as supplementary financing for ongoing projects.

The program combines loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB) with grant support from the European Union, which significantly reduces the financial burden on the state budget.

The EBRD program has also earmarked EUR 100 million for projects to decentralize heat and energy supply in direct cooperation with cities and businesses.

In total, under the UIF mechanism, EUR 1.5 billion in funding has been allocated to energy, education, communications, agriculture, and small businesses, as well as to the construction of shelters in educational institutions. For the first time, the UIF is also providing resources for dual-use technologies and strategic industries.

The UIF mechanism continues to attract new financial institutions to Ukraine's recovery. Alongside key partners (EBRD, IBRD, KfW, IFC), Finnvera, BPIFrance, and CDPZZAS have joined the implementation of the newly announced programs.

As a result, EUR 3.4 billion in new investments are expected to be attracted through UIF instruments. To date, 90% of the UIF's total capacity (EUR 8.4 billion) has already been distributed.
