History
Agency for Restoration was established
The war created urgent new challenges that required rapid and effective responses — thus, the Agency for Restoration was established. It was formed on the foundation of Ukravtodor and Ukrinfraproekt: the former provided a regional network of offices, and the latter — expertise and capacity for delivering diverse projects.
Stepping up anti-corruption efforts
A comprehensive corruption risk assessment was conducted within the Agency and its regional offices. A total of 132 risks were identified; by year-end, 42 of them had been mitigated. The analysis and reduction of corruption risks is an ongoing effort.
Follow the progress of the Agency’s anti-corruption program and learn more about its prevention measures.
First funding received from international partners
The World Bank allocated $25 million for modular bridges. This was the first major funding that opened doors to joint projects with international partners.
Today, the Agency’s projects are supported by governments, international financial institutions, and technical assistance programs. More on the Partners page.
Assumed responsibility for border infrastructure
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine transferred to the Agency for Restoration the mandate for planning, designing, and constructing infrastructure at the state border. The goal: modernizing border crossing points, reducing queues, and integrating with the European transport network.
Launched the pilot project for restoring communities
In Yahidne, Trostianets, Posad-Pokrovske, and Borodianka, we began rebuilding housing, social infrastructure, and roads.
The Agency and its regional offices also support reconstruction in other affected areas. Learn more on the Project page.
E-Queue implemented at 16 border crossing points
This digital system for managing border crossings is technically administered by the Agency. By the end of 2024, E-Queue was functioning at 17 truck crossings and 28 bus crossings. In 2025, it will cover all types of transport.
E-Queue helps reduce congestion, prevent corruption, and improve logistics and comfort for drivers and passengers at border points with the EU and Moldova.
Introduced a new procurement methodology for civil construction
The Agency rolled out a new construction procurement approach, which increased the number of tender bids and saved millions of hryvnias.
Learn how procurement is changing and why businesses should work with the state and communities to support recovery.
Ukraine joined the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)
Ukraine became a participant in the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), enabling access to up to 85% co-funding for transport infrastructure projects.
The DREAM team launched a public API
With this API, all project data entered into the system became accessible to professional users and analysts using external tools.
Launched the Inhulets–Pivdenne Reservoir water pipeline in Dnipropetrovsk
A main pipeline was built to ensure water supply for residents of Kryvyi Rih and Kryvyi Rih district — a critical project delivered in record time.
Find out how we made it happen.
New leadership, new priorities
Serhii Sukhomlyn was appointed as the new Head of the Agency. Among the key new priorities: support for communities through enhanced energy efficiency and the construction of social housing.
The construction of water pipeline in Mykolaiv began
Construction of a pipeline began in Mykolaiv to restore the city’s water supply — a project of critical importance for the city and region.
Follow the project’s progress on its dedicated page.
Created the Centralized Procurement Organization (CPO)
The first of its kind in Ukraine and Europe, the CPO covers not only goods and services but also works, including road maintenance, construction, and design documentation. The CPO brings standardization and transparency to procurement, centralizing all tenders in a single catalog with clear rules and open conditions.
Team
We work toward a shared goal — to restore infrastructure and build efficient and transparent recovery processes.
Vision
Our priorities are strengthening the country’s energy independence, protecting critical infrastructure, restoring the regions most affected by hostilities, and building housing for internally displaced persons.
We must work on the country’s recovery quickly and on time, as well as act fast to protect critical infrastructure. The “Shaheds” won’t wait for us to build our defenses. That’s why we now face urgent tactical tasks, as well as strategic ones — we must plan not only for one or two years, but for 10–15 years ahead.
