On 17 June 2026, Kyiv hosted the Community Recovery and Reconstruction Forum, organised by the Narodna Rada of Ukraine. Over 200 participants — heads of communities from 20 regions, international partners and donors — came together for a direct dialogue on recovery needs.

The Narodna Rada unites 4,600 organisations and covers 1,339 communities across the country. The organisation works on a bottom-up principle: gathering real community needs, turning them into investment-ready projects and ensuring full digital monitoring through the CLS Ukraine platform.

“Ukraine’s recovery is about people, dignity and shared responsibility. We approach our partners not as donors, but as equal participants in a common future.” — Volodymyr Onyshchuk, President of the Narodna Rada
