Competence Center and Infobox for Transparent and Inclusive Recovery of Ukraine
We are creating two interconnected tools to support transparent and inclusive recovery: the structured online resource Infobox on the BRP.org.ua platform and the Recovery Competence Center, which provides expert support, mentoring and a helpdesk service for local authorities, CSOs and the media. The project addresses a practical gap: despite the development of national recovery planning and monitoring systems, many local actors still lack access to systematized, practice-oriented guidance on how to apply them correctly.
Nationwide
Project goals:
- Create a structured online Infobox resource with verified practical materials on recovery, procurement, accessibility and transparency.
- Launch the Competence Center as an expert hub for mentoring, consultations and helpdesk support to local authorities and CSOs.
- Implement a risk-based support approach grounded in field monitoring data.
- Build the capacity of local actors through trainings and peer learning on the practical application of recovery standards.
- Establish a continuous loop between monitoring, correction and learning for systemic improvement of recovery governance.
About the project:
The Infobox for transparent and inclusive recovery will become a structured and continuously updated knowledge hub on BRP.org.ua. It will contain verified materials — templates, checklists, guidelines, FAQs, cases, reports, presentations and videos on recovery, public investment management, transparency, procurement, accessibility and inclusion. The goal is to transform fragmented expertise into a single practical resource for municipalities, CSOs, activists, journalists and development partners, and to prevent typical implementation mistakes before they are detected during monitoring.
The Recovery Competence Center will function as an expert hub combining analytical capacity, advisory services, a helpdesk and peer learning. The Center will provide case-based mentoring to local authorities and CSOs, help apply public investment management standards, and resolve legal, procedural and procurement issues. The helpdesk will combine AI support with direct expert consultation for more complex cases. Recurring requests will be analyzed and turned into updated Infobox content — forming a continuous loop between monitoring, correction and learning.
A key feature of the project is its risk-based and preventive approach. All Center services are prioritized based on the typical risks and gaps identified through more than 800 field monitoring reports. This makes it possible to shift from ad hoc support to systemic prevention of governance errors in recovery.
The project also includes thematic trainings, workshops and peer-learning sessions on the practical application of public investment management standards, recovery planning, procurement, the use of national recovery systems, accessibility and inclusive design standards, and the prevention of corruption risks.
