55 hromadas from 5 oblasts will receive equipment to restore service delivery
55 liberated and affected hromadas from Dnipropetrovska, Mykolaivska, Sumyska, Kharkivska, Khersonska oblasts will receive equipment to restore service delivery and work of ASCs from the Swedish-Ukrainian project PROSTO "Support to Services Accessibility in Ukraine".
The crisis support includes desktops computers, notebooks, uninterruptible power systems, multifunctional office devices, and mobile suitcases for service delivery. The value of the tender is almost UAH 9 million.
Oleksandr Kubrakov, Vice Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine – Minister of Development of Hromadas, Territories and Infrastructure: "The team of the Ministry of Recovery is working every day to ensure the necessary conditions for citizens return. One of the priorities in this work is to strengthen the capacity of hromadas. We will continue to provide additional tools to hromadas so that as many people as possible can receive critical services. I am grateful to our Swedish partners for their assistance."
Local governments applied for comprehensive support by using an open form on the PROSTO website. In addition to material support, hromadas also receive institutional and training support in the areas that they need.
Adam Amberg, Head of Reform Support Section, Embassy of Sweden to Ukraine: "We are firmly dedicated to actively supporting Ukraine's process of restoration, and deeply understand the significance of enabling citizens' return to their hromadas, when the security situation allows. The quality and accessibility of public services are important benchmarks of a democratic state, and Sweden will continue to aid Ukraine on this path, along with other directions of restoration and strengthening of Ukrainian hromadas".
More than 2.6 million people lived in the hromadas that receive crisis support from the Swedish project under this wave before the full-scale invasion. In total, nearly 100 affected hromadas are receiving comprehensive support from PROSTO to restore ASCs and provide public services to residents.
