Key Investment Areas in Mykolaiv
The total budget for the UTP is approximately DKK2.8 billion (around €375 million), with up to 60% of this amount (DKK1.68 billion or over €225 million) allocated specifically for Mykolaiv and the region. The remaining funds will be distributed among other regions of Ukraine.
The main investment areas will include:
- Implementation of projects in water supply, centralized heating, and energy sectors to enhance the resilience of the region’s infrastructure.
- Renovation of educational institutions with the establishment of shelters, as well as procurement for safety and educational development.
- Rehabilitation and strengthening of civil society capabilities.
- Restoration of social infrastructure, including schools and hospitals, support for small and medium enterprises, agricultural development, and mine clearance activities.
Large-Scale Project for Mykolaiv City
In addition to the main funding, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in collaboration with the Danish government is launching a new three-year project titled “Strategic Partnership for Mykolaiv” with a budget of over $36 million. This project aims to improve the living conditions of the city’s residents, facilitate the return and integration of displaced persons, and provide support to the most vulnerable segments of the population. Significant attention within the project will be given to humanitarian demining, which is crucial for the recovery of agriculture and ensuring the safety of territories.
The total budget for the UTP is DKK2.8 billion (approximately €375 million). Importantly, up to 60% of this amount (DKK1.68 billion or over €225 million) will be allocated directly to Mykolaiv and the region. The remaining 40% of the funds will be distributed among other regions of Ukraine.
