This is a hybrid event kicking off the PPF4Ukraine, a Swiss initiative supporting municipal infrastructure project preparation in Ukraine.
Financed by SECO and implemented in partnership with Ukraine’s Ministry for Communities and Territories Development, the programme helps municipalities develop finance-ready, climate-resilient investments aligned with national recovery priorities.
Following the successful completion of its first phase, PPF4Ukraine is entering a new stage of implementation. The launch event (conducted in hybrid format) will introduce Ukrainian municipalities and Swiss companies to opportunities under the Facility and provide practical guidance on how to engage in projects. The programme focuses on priority sectors: Renewable energy and energy efficiency; Water and wastewater infrastructure; Urban mobility.
The event will take place in Kyiv on July 8 from 10:00 to 13:30 Ukrainian time. You can participate in-person or online.
PPF4Ukraine forms part of Switzerland’s broader commitment to Ukraine’s recovery, including CHF 1.5 billion for the period 2025 to 2028, of which CHF 500 million are allocated to strengthen Swiss private sector involvement in Ukraine’s reconstruction.
The Facility is delivered by a consortium led by NIRAS, together with Implenia, Egis Ukraina, SURA, and MDI, combining Swiss quality standards, international expertise, and local capacity to support Ukraine’s sustainable recovery.
