Annual Recovery Results Report 2023

In the third year of the full-scale Russian invasion, the scourge of war is still bringing untold suffering and sorrow to the people of Ukraine. The invasion, launched in violation of the UN Charter and international law, has left thousands of civilians killed and injured, caused massive destruction of infrastructure, including hundreds of thousands of homes, hospitals and schools, and deeply traumatized people regardless of proximity to the frontline. The war has shattered the Ukrainian economy; rolling back development gains made over the past years and plunging nearly 25 per cent of people into poverty.

The people of Ukraine are taking upon themselves the monumental task to recover from the devastation caused by the invasion. With remarkable and inspiring determination, and no matter if they are close to the front line or in communities where they have found safety and security, Ukrainians are supporting one another to ensure their communities are functioning, small shops are running, schools are repaired and rebuilt with shelters so children can attend in-person, hospitals and clinics reconstructed, roads and bridges repaired and agricultural land and critical and social infrastructure demined.
