Our priorities

Strategic Reconstruction Priorities

Institutional delivery

From recovery needs to governed public assets

This block connects visible reconstruction work with the institutional controls behind it: assessment, approval, delivery oversight, and public accountability.

  1. 01 Assess recovery needs Regional and sector priorities are documented before capital or procurement decisions.
  2. 02 Approve the framework Governance, eligibility, and standards checks define what can proceed.
  3. 03 Deliver under oversight Projects move through ring-fenced delivery with reporting and audit visibility.

Governance Architecture

Reconstruction requires institutional architecture. Governance, capital, and delivery are structurally separated.

Governing Council Strategic oversight & mandate protection Executive leadership Professional, non-political management Ethics & compliance Integrity & anti-corruption Independent function Capital & audit oversight Financial integrity External audit alignment Operational & project SPVs Ring-fenced delivery entities Delivery only — no governance authority
Separation by Design
  • No single party controls governance, capital, and delivery.
  • Mandatory external audits and ethics oversight.
  • Delivery is isolated via ring-fenced project entities.

Leadership & accountability

Led by experience, accountable to an independent board

An executive team runs day-to-day reconstruction operations under the direction and scrutiny of an independent Oversight Board. Governance is deliberately separated from delivery.

Capital architecture

How Capital Flows

Reconstruction at national scale requires a disciplined capital architecture that separates risk, control, and delivery. The Authority exists to provide that structure.

Capital Architecture in Five Steps

A compact view of how capital moves from policy alignment to public-purpose assets. The full explanation remains on the dedicated Capital Flows page.

Control principle

Capital, governance, delivery, and asset control remain structurally separated.

  1. 01
    EU risk-sharing

    EU Risk-Sharing & Policy Alignment

    The European Union provides policy alignment and risk-sharing instruments, reducing exposure and enabling scale.

  2. 02
    IFI anchor capital

    Multilateral Anchor Capital

    Multilateral institutions provide senior capital under established due-diligence frameworks.

  3. 03
    Authority governance

    Authority as Central Counterparty

    The Authority acts as a single, governed counterparty, separating capital from political and operational risk.

  4. 04
    Ring-fenced SPVs

    Ring-Fenced Project Entities

    Capital is deployed into legally and financially ring-fenced project entities for programmes and assets.

  5. 05
    Public assets

    Assets & Public Reversion

    Assets serve public benefit and, where applicable, revert to public ownership under concession or BOT frameworks.

Capital does not control governance. Governance does not execute delivery. Delivery does not control assets.

Geographic mandate

Where We Work

The Authority’s primary mandate is the reconstruction of Ukraine. Projects are delivered on public or publicly mandated land, under transparent long-term use agreements, ensuring assets serve public benefit and remain aligned with national priorities.

  • Current delivery across multiple regions of Ukraine
  • Expansion framework for Eastern Europe and EU neighbourhood
  • Public-interest land use and asset reversion model

Reconstruction Is Not Construction

Why institutional design, standards, and governance must precede funding and delivery at national scale — a short strategic read for boards and diligence teams.

  • Why reconstruction is institutional, not a project portfolio
  • Why fragmented delivery fails at scale
  • Why standards must precede funding
  • Why governance precedes execution
