This project represents Canada’s aid to Support Ukraine’s Reforms for Governance (SURGe) to improve the quality of life of Ukraine’s citizens, particularly women and girls. It seeks to do so through inclusive, citizen-centric, and gender-responsive reforms managed by the Government of Ukraine. The areas targeted for reform include economic growth, public administration, human capital, education, healthcare, and combating corruption. The project uses a responsive expert deployment mechanism to enhance and strengthen the Government’s reform management at 2 levels: (1) stakeholders within the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers, given its management role of the overall reform agenda, and (2) reform owners within Ukrainian ministries and agencies requesting specific technical assistance when planning and implementing reforms. In response to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, certain project activities were adapted to address new immediate needs and protect previous development gains. Canada’s development partners in Ukraine pivoted project activities to respond to the evolving context in several ways, such as providing emergency supplies, equipment and services, mental health support, transportation and accommodation. The beneficiaries, scope, expected results and geographic location of project activities may have changed from the original description.
