Clingendael is co-hosting the side event ‘Resilience, Reconstruction, Prosperity: Perspectives for Ukraine’s Economy’ before the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 on Monday 10 June in Berlin.

The 2024 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin provides an opportunity to re-set the global policy framework around a concrete plan of action that links Ukraine’s immediate economic needs in the war effort with its long-term re-development goals.

There is a need for high quality policy analysis and research from a range of perspectives to feed into the discussions of the URC’s key themes, i.e. engaging private capital with focus on concrete projects and initiatives; the European aspects of Ukraine’s recovery; regions and cities; and human capital –  including the vital role of social protections.  

Our side conference on the 10 June 2024, Resilience, Reconstruction, Prosperity: Perspectives for Ukraine’s Economy, will be the culmination of a process that feeds research and policy briefs from civil society and the academic community directly into the Berlin Ukraine Recovery Conference.
