Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, posted 12 January 2023 17:32

The Government of Japan has allocated USD 95 million for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

These funds will be provided to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under a partnership agreement.

The agreement was signed today by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Ukraine Kuninori Matsuda and UNDP Assistant Administrator and Director of the Regional Bureau for Europe and the CIS Ivana Živković with the participation of Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine – Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development Oleksandr Kubrakov.

“While the Armed Forces of Ukraine are liberating the territories from the occupiers, the Government together with international partners is working on implementation of ‘survival projects’ – restoration of transport communication with the liberated territories, creation of conditions for the return of citizens to their homes, support of the economy in the regions.

It is important to feel the consolidation of the entire civilized world around the struggle of our country against the russian terrorist regime. The partnership of Ukraine, Japan and the United Nations Development Program is an example of effective cooperation that allows not only to counter the enemy, but also to gradually restore what has been destroyed.

I thank our partners from Japan and the UN for their support. We expect that we will deepen it, particularly in the restoration of critical infrastructure. We see the understanding of our partners that assistance in this particular issue is urgent and vital for Ukraine,” commented Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine – Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development.

Ukraine’s assistance program focuses on five key areas:

  • strengthening government’s capacity to respond to and manage the crisis;
  • supporting public services so they can continue operation;
  • restoring critical infrastructure so that people can return home safely;
  • supporting private businesses so they can continue operation, thereby supporting communities;
  • strengthening civil society and social ties.

Earlier, in April 2022, Japan has already allocated USD 4.5 million for emergency demining and debris removal.
