Government introduces performance assessment for investment projects

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved new rules for assessing the performance of public investment projects after their completion.

In 2025, a number of investment projects financed by public investment had been completed, which necessitated the introduction of a uniform standard for evaluating the results of their implementation. There was no single mechanism for determining the effectiveness of the funds spent and the achievement of the project's objectives.

The new rules adopted by the Government are aimed at establishing such an assessment standard.

What exactly the new Procedure provides for:

• Who is responsible: it is clearly defined who is to prepare reports and conduct the final assessment.
• Deadlines: specific deadlines have been set for verification after completion of the work.
• Evaluation parameters: not only costs, but also economic benefits, social impact, and environmental impact shall be analyzed.
• Conclusions: the results must be presented in the form of an official conclusion using a standard form.

For the state, this means complete transparency and the opportunity to monitor the effectiveness of public investments. It will also be possible to take into account the mistakes or successes of current projects when planning the budget for the future. As a result, the management of public funds will become more professional and predictable.
