The Transformation and Reconstruction of Ukraine
The war Russia is waging in Ukraine is a humanitarian disaster, and its social and economic repercussions are being felt worldwide. The OECD Council has condemned Russia in the strongest possible terms and is working on a new strategy to support Ukraine, building on a Memorandum of Understanding established with the country in 2014 and renewed in 2021. The OECD Development Centre stands ready to support these efforts, providing expertise in a wide range of policy domains.
On Tuesday, 17 May 2022, the OECD #DevTalks organised a webinar that brought together experts and Development Centre members to discuss Ukraine’s economic and social transformation prior to 2022, the impact of the war, priorities for reconstruction, and the international support needed to realise its vision.
