Empowering communities and regions for the recovery and economic development of Ukraine

The EasyBusiness team works at the national, regional, and local levels, promoting the sustainable development of communities and regions of Ukraine. We believe that a strong national economy is the result of the economic well-being of its regions and communities. That is why we work in three key areas:

We actively participate in shaping regional development policy that takes into account European standards and the local context.

We support the European integration process in the context of regional policy by adapting the best European practices and taking into account the next EU planning cycle.

We contribute to the development of an effective ecosystem of strategic documents that would be oriented towards the real needs of regions and communities.

We directly assist regions and communities in the strategic planning process.
