Ukraine

On 7 June 2023, OECD and the Government of Ukraine launched a four-year Country Programme that will support Ukraine’s agenda for reform, recovery and reconstruction.

The OECD has been working in close partnership with Ukraine for more than 30 years to support its ambitious reform agenda. Since February 2022, the OECD has broadened, deepened and strengthened its engagement and co-operation with Ukraine – now a prospective OECD member.

Despite restrictions imposed by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the OECD has continued to support Ukraine on several targeted policy areas, such as:

• Strengthening subnational capacities and decentralisation reform

• Reviewing competition in the Ukrainian electricity sector

• Improving the learning outcomes and well-being of Ukrainian students and teachers

• Supporting the reception and integration of Ukrainian refugees

• Alignment of reform efforts with OECD tax standards

In February 2023, a new OECD-Ukraine Liaison Office in Kyiv further bolstered OECD engagement with the Ukrainian authorities while strengthening co-ordination of OECD work with the international donor community. The OECD Economics Department has established a Ukraine Desk to incorporate Ukraine into OECD forecasting and indicator systems. The OECD is also part of the Multi-Agency Donor Co-ordination Platform for Ukraine co-chaired by Ukraine, the European Union and the United States and will continue to align policy priorities with the Platform.
