The dialogue between Ukrainian and German municipalities lays the foundation for future cooperation to support local initiatives for the reconstruction of Ukrainian municipalities. The learning group aims at a collegial exchange of expertise between municipal representatives on various topics. The aim of the cooperation is to develop concrete solutions for local challenges and/or to support and further develop existing structures. Both municipalities in the region and municipal partnerships can network and advise each other. The learning group offers exchanges on the following topics in the further course:
- Energy supply and green renovation of energy infrastructure
- Sustainable use of water resources
- Overburdened waste management systems
- Functionality of public transport
- Integration of internally displaced persons
- Resilience and crisis management
The offer is based on the National Reconstruction Plan of Ukraine respectively on the different national programmes such as the reconstruction and modernisation of social infrastructure and the reconstruction of a clean and safe environment. Connective Cities facilitates the outlining of possible solutions through peer consultation, capacity development and other agile offers. Finally, the solution options are written out and linked to funding opportunities where appropriate.
