Launch of Multi Donor Initiative Skills4Recovery

The kick-off event of the Multi Donor Initiative Skills4Recovery took place on September 20, 2024. The EU, Poland, and Estonia have joined an ongoing programme of the German Government to enhance training opportunities for young people and adults in Ukraine. The support of international partners is driven by Ukraine’s urgent need for skilled workers — to compensate for the daily effects of the war, maintain the country’s resilience, and develop the economy in the future.
At the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2024) in Berlin, the EU announced its commitment to financing the Skills4Recovery initiative. Estonia and Poland followed suit, further bolstering the programme.
The expanded support within the Multi Donor Initiative Skills4Recovery will lead to significant increases in:
● overall donor contributions to Skills4Recovery amounting to €14 million;
● the number of skilled workers who will be supported through training offers doubled to over 4,700 people;
● the number of supported VET providers, increasing more than twofold to up to 50;
● support for replication of best practices in school management, inclusion, digitalization and cooperation with the private sector throughout Ukraine;
● policy advisory support to implement measures of the Ukraine Plan in human capital development and the EU accession.
In addition, the Initiative’s geographical coverage is expanding from six regions to the whole of Ukraine.
By providing a skilled workforce to recover Ukraine’s economy, Skills4Recovery aims to support Ukraine on its EU membership path and strengthen its resilience and capacity to respond to the impacts generated by Russia’s war of aggression.
