What are Ukrainians afraid of in the future reconstruction? Results of the sociological survey

Transparency International Ukraine, supported by the USAID/SACCI project, has commissioned the InfoSapiens research agency to carry out a sociological survey among the population and particularly representatives of Ukrainian businesses about the needs and expectations regarding the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

The survey is representative and includes 2 audiences:

1. adult population of Ukraine, including IDPs, — 1,012 respondents;
2. representatives of Ukrainian businesses (sole proprietors, micro, small, medium and large businesses) — 405 interviews.

On June 14, the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center will host a presentation of the survey results. These data will also be the topic of discussion with partners and opinion leaders — to find solutions and prevent disappointments of the population and business, as well as identify risks that will indicate possible inefficiency of future reconstruction processes.

• What is the state doing to ensure the transparency of reconstruction?
• What practical steps can reduce the level of mistrust among businesses in reconstruction processes and in the authorities?
• How can citizens actually be involved in decision-making, control, etc.?
• How effective is the preparation for reconstruction and informing society and business about these processes?
• How can we increase the capacity and level of trust in local authorities, given the high responsibility entrusted to them?
• What is important for international partners in terms of financing reconstruction processes?

These questions are the ones that will be discussed at the event, and the attendees will have the opportunity to ask their own.

The following experts will participate in the discussion:

• Anastasiia Mazurok, deputy executive director of Transparency International Ukraine for operational activities;
• Bohdan Boiko, project manager of the USAID recovery project Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI);
• Yuriy Kryvosheya, co-owner of Toronto-Kyiv, chairman of the supervisory board of Promprilad.Renovation;
• Aider Khalilov, senior program manager of the Program for the Promotion of Public Activity “Engage!” (USAID/ENGAGE);
• Dmytro Turchak, Director of the Strategic Planning Department of the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development;
