“8 Practical Steps to Start Working with Ukraine’s Reconstruction” is a practical guide developed by the European Business Association’s Ukraine Recovery Committee with the support of BDO in Ukraine.
It is designed for international companies that consider participating in Ukraine’s reconstruction projects. The guide addresses a fundamental business question: “Where to start and how to act effectively in a donor-oriented recovery economy?”
The material provides a structured approach, combining the commercial objectives of companies with the genuine requirements of Ukrainian municipalities, government bodies and enterprises. The focus is on creating a viable, financially sound and socially significant project, rather than merely selling a product or service.
The guide outlines eight consecutive steps to help companies build a systematic and practical approach to participating in Ukraine’s reconstruction processes:
- Identifying the end user of the product or solution in Ukraine.
- Analysing procurement procedures and the role of donor and concessional financing.
- Developing a competitive value proposition tailored to the specifics of the Ukrainian market.
- Confirming local demand through engaging and supporting local stakeholders.
- Determining the project’s scale and its impact, including socio-economic effects.
- Engaging export credit agencies and international financial institutions.
- Structuring co-financing in Ukraine from governmental, local or private sources.
- Establishing partnerships with a reliable local organisation for effective project implementation.
The guide is available in English on our website.
