The Epicenter Group, in partnership with the Norwegian IT company Itera, plans to develop and implement a new digital platform called Blaho for Communities. This initiative aims to support the recovery of small towns and rural areas in Ukraine affected by military actions. The platform will ensure transparency, targeted use, and accountability of international donor assistance for Ukrainian communities.

Through this platform, international donors will be able to directly fund only those recovery projects that have been verified.
