Водій_ка / Driver, NPSA-3, (DS- Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, Uzhgorod), National рosition
Today Ukraine is facing the most serious challenges since becoming an independent state. The complex humanitarian, development, and peace challenges underscore the importance of programming that responds to the multiple dimensions of the crisis. The UNDP Recovery Framework for Ukraine is grounded in working in partnership with sister UN entities and beyond. The Inclusive Development Recovery and Peacebuilding Portfolio (IDRPB) directly contributes to the achievement of the Recovery Framework’s key outcomes. Targeting primarily the sub-national and local (territorial community, city, or settlement) levels, the IDRPB outlines the responses to the multi-dimensional challenges faced by the Ukrainian communities, through their decentralized authorities, to manage effectively and efficiently early and post-recovery planning and implementation, while fostering sustained momentum around SDGs implementation and ensuring that the needs and experiences of women and men from all groups of society, especially the most vulnerable, are accounted for in this process.
Preventing deep-set reversals in development progress is why UNDP has launched a comprehensive programme to support the Government of Ukraine and UN-led humanitarian and crisis response. The Resilience Building and Recovery Programme (RBRP) for Ukraine is grounded in working in partnership with sister UN entities and beyond. The Regional Development Programme (RDP) directly contributes to the achievement of RBRP’s key outcomes, while organizationally it is an integral part of a larger Inclusive Development Recovery and Peacebuilding Portfolio (IDRPB).
