This second mission of UN-Habitat was deployed to Ukraine to prepare for the upcoming launch of UN-Habitat’s activities in the country, in line with the requests from its Executive Board (March 2022) and a request from the government of Ukraine (July 2022). It allowed the team to address a number of issues that required clarification before the establishment of UN-Habitat in Ukraine.
During the mission, and through the engagement with the national government and the UN family, it is clear that UN-Habitat’s interventions are in Ukraine very timely and would support the ongoing efforts towards the operationalisation of local recovery.
