Risultati fasi precedenti:   The Framework is delivered via the area-based recovery approach, which offers an  integrated, participatory, and inclusive methodology to advance recovery in target  communities most affected by the war and that face complex challenges or vulnerabilities. It builds on UNDP’s work in the east of Ukraine since the start of the conflict in 2014, and the scale up since February 2022. UNDP now has subnational  offices in Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnipro and Odesa, with more than 150 personnel, who have implemented more than 80 million USD in sub-national programming in the  period February 2022-December 2024 targeting more than 100 communities in war-affected regions of the country. Overall, in 2024 UNDP Ukraine implemented 250  million USD in programming across the five areas of: 1) crisis response; 2) public services; 3) reconstruction for recovery and returns; 4) inclusive economic growth; and 5) social cohesion and inclusion.
