Ahead of the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk in June 2026, the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum is organising an event in Brussels to highlight the pivotal role of civil society in Ukraine’s recovery and EU integration. Building on the outcomes of previous URCs, the event will provide an early platform for Brussels-based stakeholders to exchange perspectives and formulate recommendations that can feed directly into the agenda of the upcoming URC.

How do key stakeholders view the process of Ukraine’s reconstruction, and does civil society actually influence this process, or does it merely accompany it? Join the event by Resource and Analysis Center "Society and Environment" to discuss the main challenges of reconstruction and the shaping of its agenda.

While Ukraine is implementing Public Management Reform and moving along the path to European integration, it is important to engage various stakeholders in the governance of the funding programmes. The partnership principle and its instrument - the monitoring committees - have proved useful by fostering cooperation among public authorities at all levels, key economic and social partners. Join the webinar by CEE Bankwatch and Polaris Programme to find out more.

On July 10–11, the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC2025) took place in Rome. Among its participants were governments, international organisations, financial institutions, businesses, regions, municipalities, and civil society. During the public discussion, Ukrainian National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum experts, together with other URC’s participants, will discuss the key decisions made and reflect on their experiences.

Almost a year ago, the European Union approved the creation of the Ukraine Facility financial instrument with a budget of €50 billion.
