The OECD’s four-year Ukraine Country Programme allows Ukraine to leverage OECD expertise and best practices, strengthen institutions, and build capacity for successful reforms that will help Ukraine strengthen institutions, enhance economic resilience and ensure that reconstruction aid is used to the best effect to promote economic development and citizens’ welfare. Launched at the OECD’s annual Ministerial Council Meeting in June 2023, with the participation of Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in Kyiv, the Country Programme consists of 21 policy reviews and 10 capacity-building projects. It envisages Ukraine’s participation in 24 OECD bodies and its adherence to more than 70 OECD legal instruments over the four-year duration.
The Country Programme has been developed in close co-operation with, and reflects the priorities of, the government of Ukraine, with its focus on stronger institutions and public governance, continuing the fight against corruption, attracting private sector investment, and laying the foundations for long-term well-being and opportunities for its people. It encompasses key reconstruction challenges such as infrastructure policy and support for displaced persons and returning refugees, as well as education and skills, competition, environmental policy and statistics.
The Country Programme is financed by OECD donors, including Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, as well as the European Union.
