Giving Civil Society a Stake in Ukraine’s Recovery

Citizens’ groups have been deeply involved in reconstruction and relief work since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, but many feel they are sidelined by national and regional authorities when it comes to planning and delivering the recovery.

This briefing paper draws on insights from a Chatham House survey of Ukrainian CSOs conducted at the end of 2022. It examines their ambitions for engagement in recovery planning and delivery, as well as their perceptions of the factors that might jeopardize modernization and reform as the country rebuilds from the war, and sets out practical steps to foster effective and sustainable cooperation between the state and civil society.
