Results achieved at the end of the project (April 2024) include: (1) developed and implemented 14 Recovery Reform Initiatives (RRI) covering child protection, criminal justice, crisis communication, and retaining access to school education. These initiatives also addressed food security, human trafficking prevention, humanitarian assistance governance, eHealth reform, public investment governance, administrative services, North Atlantic Treaty Organization Annual National Programs, and border infrastructure development; (2) trained 16,281 Government of Ukraine employees (13,767 women and 2,514 men) to institutionalize inclusive, responsive and sustainable service delivery approaches across the RRIs. This includes correctional and community services staff, school leaders, gender-responsive justice services, inclusive and responsive education, and institutional audits; (3) supported developing strategic documents for Ministry of Restoration, Ministry of Justice, National Agency of Ukraine on Civil Service, and Barrier-Free Council. This is done through ProjectUA, a flagship digital platform developed by SURGe for government-wide planning and monitoring; (4) assisted the Government of Ukraine in shaping crisis communications following the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; (5) assisted the State Emergency Service in reaching over 7 million Ukrainian women and girls through their anti-trafficking information campaign; and (6) responded to urgent needs by transporting and distributing emergency supplies to over 90,000 people across Ukraine due to the impacts of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
