At the invitation of the Institute for Analysis and Advocacy, the head of the Center for Fiscal Policy Research gave a lecture on how communities can become attractive for investment and how to attract state funds for their own projects. The lecture also provided information on financing the restoration of Ukraine and how the Fund for the Elimination of the Consequences of Armed Aggression is filled. Viktor Maziarchuk noted and warned the audience against similar mistakes in the future. To do this, he advised to use the DREAM system. “In the past, there have been considerable problems with funding for recovery projects. For example, the funding for one project in Mykolaiv changed 4 times during the year! This indicates that the local authorities did not prepare the documents very well, perhaps they were in a hurry.” During the lecture, he also focused on the project of the Center for Fiscal Policy Research – Cost of War, which aims to create a single database on financing the recovery and overcoming the consequences of war.
Expenditures monitored by the Center include:
restoration of damaged or destroyed facilities or construction of new ones
functioning of the state during the war period
support and development of business
payments to IDPs and other social payments made at the expense of foreign partners
other expenditures resulting from the war
"This is currently the only place where there is verified information on financing the recovery."
