Stories of Success and Failure in Ukraine’s Reconstruction, 2022–2025

“Stories of Success and Failure in Ukraine’s Reconstruction, 2022–2025” is a unique collection of 64 real cases that show how Ukraine’s recovery is unfolding in practice during the full-scale war. The book combines examples of effective solutions and successful projects with stories that reveal systemic problems – from non-transparent procedures to violations of the “build back better” principle.

The materials are based on a large-scale civil society monitoring initiative that covered around 800 facilities across ten regions of Ukraine. The collection demonstrates why trust, transparency, and community engagement are critically important for high-quality and sustainable reconstruction.

The book serves as a practical guide for government institutions, civil society organizations, journalists, donors, and everyone involved in rebuilding the country. It helps identify best practices, avoid common mistakes, and develop approaches to reconstruction that truly serve people – today and in the future.
