WORKSHOP ON STRATEGISING THE WATER SECTOR REFORM IN UKRAINE

A workshop on strategising the water sector reform in Ukraine took place on 5 July 2019 in Lviv.

Organised through the EU funded EUWI+ project,  participants took stock of progress in approximation towards the European Union’s Water Directives in Ukraine. Participants from national and regional authorities, water associations and vodocanals joined experts from Denmark, Sweden, Romania and representatives from International Organisations to discuss recent progress in developing new water legislation and policies aligned with the European Union’s Water acquis in Ukraine. The workshop considered Ukraine’s current water challenges, its long-term national and international commitments and the existing strategic and policy framework. Participants  debated the affordability and implementability of the current plans, benefits for citizens and proposed alternative pathways to engage political support and audiences outside of the water and environment communities.

The meeting was chaired by Mr Mykola Kuzio, the Deputy Minister for European Integration of Ukraine, and organized with the support of the EUWI+ programme.
