EU integration, green economy and better water management: EU4Green Recovery East programme kicks off in Ukraine

On 12 March, the European Union and Ukraine launched the EU4Green Recovery East programme. It will help the country address the damage caused by the Russian aggression by supporting Ukraine’s path towards green recovery and reconstruction based on EU standards.

With an EU contribution of €21.3 million over four years (2025-2028) for all Eastern Partnership countries, this regional programme builds on a decade of EU support, advancing efforts in circular economy, sustainable water management, and environmental data management.

The EU4Green Recovery East programme offers new opportunities for the Ukrainian government and businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to improve resource efficiency while boosting productivity and creating new jobs.

The new programme will also continue supporting efforts on the reduction of water pollution, addressing economic aspects of water management, and improvement of cross-border cooperation for shared water resources.
