Digital Tool for Managing Reconstruction of Infrastructure and Real Estate Projects (UA0101)

Reconstruction of destroyed facilities is a huge challenge for the entire country. Tens of thousands of reconstruction projects implemented by many institutions and organizations require high-quality planning, preparation, attraction, and coordination of funding from various sources, as well as high-quality and effective implementation. Moreover, these projects should meet the needs and priorities of citizens. To effectively address this issue, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine issued Resolution No. 1286 "On Implementing a Pilot Project to Create, Implement, and Operate a Unified Digital Integrated Information and Analytical System for Managing the Reconstruction of Real Estate, Construction, and Infrastructure Projects,” dated November 15, 2022 (Ofitsiinyi Visnyk Ukrainy [The Official Bulletin of Ukraine], 2022, No. 92, art. 5738; 2023, No. 48, art. 2654). The unified digital system has been piloted for all pilot project participants. In addition, the Ministry of Infrastructure, together with the Agency for Reconstruction, in cooperation with the Open Contracting Partnership initiative, established a Project Office for the development and implementation of the Unified Digital Integrated Information and Analytical System for Managing the Reconstruction of Real Estate, Construction, and Infrastructure Projects, conducted training for pilot project participants, and organized a technical support service based on messengers, e-mail, and a multi-channel telephone number. The Unified Digital System is designed to integrate the entire planning and implementation cycle of major projects, particularly the identification, preparation, assessment, funding allocation, implementation, and commissioning. At each stage, the system is expected to cover processes such as the project description, justification, planning, budgeting, evaluation, financing, procurement, contracting, project implementation, payment for work, and project completion. Adherence to the principles of openness and data accessibility at all stages will enable citizens to participate in prioritizing and monitoring the implementation of reconstruction projects. It will increase the trust of all stakeholders in the reconstruction. Implementing the Unified Digital System will promote transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness in reconstructing infrastructure, construction, and real estate projects.
