In 2024, the reconstruction of the administrative and therapeutic buildings of the Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital named after Sklifosovskyi began. The project received funding under the Ukraine Recovery Program, implemented by the European Investment Bank and the Government of Ukraine.&nbsp;The project has been registered in DREAM – http://bit.ly/4gOg1oZ and starting from January 2025, all funds under Ukraine Recovery Program are allocated exclusively through this system, including for the continued implementation of the hospital reconstruction project.&nbsp;Poltava Regional Hospital is the largest medical institution in the region, operating around the clock. It has inpatient departments of various specialties, including 12 therapeutic ones with a total capacity of 800 patients. The hospital employs over 1,800 staff members. Every day, more than a hundred admissions and discharges take place here. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the workload has increased by 30%, creating a serious challenge for both the medical staff and the hospital’s management.&nbsp;In addition to the therapeutic profile, the hospital has highly specialized departments: cardiology, surgery, neurosurgery, traumatology, hematology, ophthalmology, oncology, and others. It provides both emergency and planned care to residents of the Poltava region and patients from neighboring areas. The hospital also has modern diagnostic units with CT, MRI, angiography, and laboratories, which make it possible to carry out examinations of any complexity. “The conditions in which patients and doctors are placed directly affect the quality of medical care. We work continuously, and any spatial or technical limitations are felt very acutely,” said Valerii Onyshchenko, Deputy Chief Physician for Technical Affairs.&nbsp;The hospital buildings, constructed in the 1970s, require a complete renewal of their engineering networks and significant modernization of infrastructure to meet modern requirements for accessibility and safety.&nbsp;“In the therapeutic department, the façade has been insulated, and new systems for heating, electricity, sewage, fire safety, and video surveillance are being installed. Principles of inclusivity and accessibility have been taken into account, including wide doors, ramps, and new elevators. In addition, a modern shelter with an operating room and an intensive care unit is being built on the hospital grounds,” said Serhii Syzko, Head of the Capital Construction Department of the Poltava Regional Military Administration.&nbsp;The project for reconstructing the therapeutic department of Poltava Regional Hospital is a project component of the Single Project Pipeline for 2025. Its implementation is an example of how transparent and accountable management of public investments directly improves people’s lives in regions and communities. The experience gained from this and similar projects shapes new standards for future investments in healthcare and other priority sectors of the economy.&nbsp;All project details are available for review and analysis in the DREAM system via the link: http://bit.ly/4gOg1oZ&nbsp;The DREAM Project Office is implementing and developing the system with support from the Digitalisation for Growth, Integrity and Transparency Project (UK DIGIT), implemented by the Eurasia Foundation and funded by UK Dev. Open Contracting Partnership is the UK DIGIT implementing partner for this project.<iframe width="1000" height="560" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xtwFaHp6bGg?si=L_f3qnrnkNVPhrqO" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

Modern Standards of Medical Care: Reconstruction of the Therapeutic Department of Poltava Regional Hospital

A modern central kitchen has opened in the village of Holubyne, part of the Polyana Territorial Community. This state-of-the-art facility will serve not only the local gymnasium but also four other schools in the area.&nbsp; The modernization of school kitchens is part of the National School Nutrition Reform, launched in 2020 by Ukraine’s First Lady, Olena Zelenska. The initiative focuses on upgrading infrastructure, changing the approach to menu planning, adhering to international food safety standards, and creating a safe and welcoming environment for children.&nbsp; In Holubyne, the reform was implemented to the fullest extent.&nbsp; Total area of the kitchen facility: 1,285 m²&nbsp; The kitchen will serve nearly 800 students from Holubyne, Suskovo, Pasika, Ploske, and Solochyn.&nbsp; Meals will be delivered by specialized vehicles in thermal boxes, in full compliance with all sanitary requirements.&nbsp; “Children’s health is our community’s top priority. Especially now, in challenging times, we must ensure a safe, high-quality environment — with proper nutrition, modern infrastructure, and care. Without state support, implementing such projects would be difficult. But our community is ready to work, rebuild, initiate, and show real results. The central kitchen in Holubyne proves that together we can achieve a lot,” — emphasized Nelia Petrus, Acting Head of the Polyana Village Council.&nbsp; The new cafeteria is equipped with three modern combi steamers capable of preparing up to 1,200 meals.&nbsp; The facility has clearly defined zones based on food safety protocols: meat, fish, and dairy sections; a hot kitchen area; dishwashing section; thermal box storage; and a packaging area for food delivery.&nbsp; “We designed the kitchen in line with the Healthy Nutrition Code. This includes not just new equipment but also safe processes, proper hygiene, and well-organized logistics. Cooking here will be not only efficient but also enjoyable,” — said Ruslan Rebrysh, Deputy Head of the Polyana Village Council.&nbsp; The menu was developed considering both state nutrition standards and students’ preferences. Surveys among parents, students, and teachers helped create a seasonal four-week menu that combines modern approaches with traditional Ukrainian dishes.&nbsp; “Kids love mashed potatoes, fish with vegetables, meatball soup, and borscht. These are the flavors that remind them of home. We're not just serving food — we're building a culture of healthy eating through positive emotions,” — shared Vira Riashko, Principal of Holubyne Gymnasium.&nbsp; The project was funded through a state subvention allocated via the DREAM platform.&nbsp; Project details in DREAM: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bit.ly/3HndrIY">https://bit.ly/3HndrIY</a>&nbsp; Total cost: UAH 24.331 million&nbsp; State subvention: UAH 21.645 million&nbsp; Local community funds: UAH 2.684 million (10%, per co-financing terms) Savings returned to the state budget: over UAH 3.6 million&nbsp; The community has already started landscaping the area around the kitchen. Discussions are also underway about expanding logistics to provide quality meals to even more institutions in the future.&nbsp; “This project proves that reforms in Ukraine haven’t stopped. They’re happening — even in mountain villages, even during wartime. Thanks to people who believe in change. We’re ready to do more. We have the team, the ideas, and the motivation. And Holubyne is proof that everything is possible,” — concluded Nelia Petrus.<iframe width="1000" height="560" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fVfndknEbxQ?si=piySaaTW1TlqtQiG" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

A Modern Central Kitchen Launched in Holubyne, Zakarpattia: Nutritious Meals for Over 800 Children

Under the financial agreement between Ukraine and the European Investment Bank (EIB), the "Ukraine Recovery Program III" provides for attracting €150 million to finance recovery and development projects in communities.&nbsp; These funds will be allocated to communities as subventions from the state budget to local budgets.&nbsp; The selection of projects will be carried out using the DREAM system.&nbsp; According to Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine Oleksii Riabykin, there is currently a demand from society and international partners for transparent and accountable recovery. The DREAM system is an effective digital tool that allows monitoring every stage of project implementation.&nbsp; "First and foremost, we must support frontline communities. The focus of the third phase of the Ukraine Recovery Program will be precisely on these territories. At the same time, other regions will also remain within our attention. It is necessary to support growing economic activity, and we will do so with the help of our instruments," said Oleksii Riabykin.&nbsp; Project selection will be carried out in the following areas:<ul><li>reconstruction and construction of housing for internally displaced persons (IDPs), which will be in the communal ownership of communities (Rivne, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad regions);</li><li>development of public utilities, namely: creation of heating, water supply, sewage systems, and distributed generation networks;</li><li>construction of healthcare facilities, including rehabilitation centers, cluster hospitals, etc.;</li><li>shelters for educational and healthcare institutions, as well as for current projects of the European Investment Bank (EIB);</li><li>completion of highly ready construction projects, in particular in the field of secondary and preschool education;</li><li>creation of an accessible environment for all residents of communities within the flagship project of the Ministry for Development "Movement Without Barriers"; safety centers;</li><li>kitchen factories for school catering.</li></ul>Head of the DREAM Project Office Viktor Nestulia emphasized that DREAM, as a public investment management system, fully covers the entire cycle from planning and initiating a project to its preparation, appraisal, formation of sectoral and national project pipelines, allocation of funding, and implementation.&nbsp; The Ministry has decided to conduct the selection of such projects through the system. This means that all requirements will be structured in a single format, understandable to everyone.&nbsp; "We are once again glad to help the Ministry for Development, the European Investment Bank, and every community and region to create the opportunity to submit their project, receive funding, and implement it transparently and accountably. One of the tasks of the DREAM platform is to create a unified project portfolio for each community, region, and state. Anyone can enter the DREAM platform and, in real-time, see submitted applications, their priority, funding decisions, which projects received funds, and which did not. This is a fundamentally new level of transparency," said Viktor Nestulia.&nbsp; Conditions for participation in the selection:<ul><li>the object must be fully in communal ownership.</li><li>mandatory co-financing from local budget funds of at least 23%.</li><li>availability of up-to-date project and cost estimate documentation (with exceptions for certain types of projects).</li><li>project implementation deadlines – 18 months.</li><li>the community is obliged to ensure the further maintenance of the facility for at least 20 years from the date of project completion.</li></ul>Projects participating in the selection must align with the State and local strategies for regional development, taking into account the interests of key community stakeholders, particularly vulnerable population groups, NGOs, medical, educational, and social services.&nbsp; Proposals must be submitted by 18:00, September 30, 2025 (inclusive).&nbsp; Reporting on project implementation stages will be carried out through the DREAM ecosystem by the 20th of each month.&nbsp; The DREAM Project Office team will provide training and support for applicants.

DREAM Update: Sectoral Pipeline, the Single Project Pipeline, and Monitoring Tools

A space for business, ideas, and recovery: how a neglected landmark became a center of the community's economic growth&nbsp; In the heart of Lutsk, a multifunctional business hub has opened in the former "Batkivshchyna" cinema building. Once a neglected and half-ruined architectural monument from 1938, the site has now been revitalized — with a coworking area, offices, conference halls, modern equipment, and a space for the development of small and medium-sized businesses, including veteran-led initiatives.&nbsp; <img alt="1.jpeg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/1_99f2059651.jpeg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_1_99f2059651.jpeg 212w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_1_99f2059651.jpeg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_1_99f2059651.jpeg 750w" sizes="100vw" width="750"> "The old cinema had been falling into ruin for years, but we were guided by the idea of creating an environment where businesses could realize their potential, coordinate, cooperate, and thereby strengthen the city's economy while presenting the community both in Ukraine and abroad," said Borys Smal, Director of the Department of Economic Policy of Lutsk City Council.&nbsp; "We didn't want to destroy the old and build something completely new, but rather to preserve the authenticity, modernize it, and give the building a new life. And I believe we succeeded thanks to the joint efforts of designers, architects, and builders," - emphasized Vasyl Lishchuk, Head of the Capital Construction Department of Lutsk City Council.&nbsp; The building was practically reconstructed from scratch. The works included strengthening the foundation, replacing the roof, laying new utility networks, installing modern acoustic systems, and ensuring an inclusive environment.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img alt="Знімок екрана 2025-08-01 о 15.05.33.png" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_05_33_3210a74b80.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_05_33_3210a74b80.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_05_33_3210a74b80.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_05_33_3210a74b80.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_05_33_3210a74b80.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> "The works were carried out in line with cultural heritage restoration standards. Special attention was paid to inclusivity — entrances were leveled to the ground wherever possible, and where not, special solutions for people with disabilities were installed," added Lishchuk.&nbsp; An Investment in the Future&nbsp; The project was implemented with the support of the German government, GIZ, and UNDP, which organized a competition of local initiatives as part of the program for the rapid economic recovery of Ukrainian communities. The grant totaled over USD 900,000 (approximately UAH 36 million), with an additional UAH 25 million allocated from the Lutsk city budget.&nbsp; "The priority of the Lutsk City Council is transparency. We implement numerous international grant projects, which require both financial and public accountability. The DREAM ecosystem for us is yet another confirmation that we work in a fully open and transparent way," noted Iryna Chebeliuk, Deputy Mayor of Lutsk.&nbsp; Project on DREAM: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://dream.gov.ua/project/DREAM-UA-110124-A95E3CE8/profile">https://dream.gov.ua/project/DREAM-UA-110124-A95E3CE8/profile</a>"This space is for people, about people, and for the benefit of our businesses. It features conference halls and workspaces designed to support relocated companies, startups, and veterans who wish to start civilian life with a clean slate," she added.&nbsp; <img alt="Знімок екрана 2025-08-01 о 15.07.01.png" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_07_01_5d1417fed6.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_07_01_5d1417fed6.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_07_01_5d1417fed6.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_07_01_5d1417fed6.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_Znimok_ekrana_2025_08_01_o_15_07_01_5d1417fed6.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> A Platform for Cooperation The new business hub can simultaneously host up to 10 businesses, offers a coworking area with at least 12 workstations, as well as separate offices for startups, relocated companies, and veteran-led initiatives. Additionally, the facility features a large, multifunctional hall that accommodates up to 300 people, a 40-seat conference room, and two smaller halls.&nbsp; "We are creating an environment where businesses can coordinate, cooperate, and develop the community's economy, presenting Lutsk both in Ukraine and abroad," emphasized Borys Smal. "One of the grant's conditions was to create space for at least 12 different businesses to operate here. These could be photo studios, design studios, consulting firms, or accounting services — enterprises that are environmentally friendly and can function in the city center."&nbsp; He also emphasized that the hub could not only serve as a catalyst for the local economy but also generate revenue for the city's budget. According to preliminary estimates, the city's share of investment is expected to pay off in approximately two years. The new space is already open for conferences, training sessions, business forums, and cultural events. Its architecture harmoniously combines historic style with modern technological solutions.&nbsp; <img> The building is also energy-independent, with solar panels installed on the roof.&nbsp; The hub will serve as a platform for partnerships between small, medium, and large businesses, especially in the context of post-war recovery. Of particular importance will be support for veterans returning from the front who are seeking opportunities to start their own businesses.<iframe width="1200" height="560" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yUKdXHS7kyM?si=JXWTzsOCqROqMtf4" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

A Modern Business Hub Opens in Lutsk in the Former "Batkivshchyna" Cinema Building

The Strategic Investment Council has approved the State Single Project Pipeline (SPP) of public investments for 2026. It is the final list of the most prioritized and strategically important projects and programs across different public investment sectors. All projects and programs were developed in line with the new methodology for preparing Public Investment Projects (PIPs) — the Ukrainian “five-case model”, which is based on international best practices and incorporates British and European approaches to the allocation of public investments. The initiatives included in the SPP correspond to the main streams defined by the Medium-Term Plan of Priority Public Investments of the State and take into account cross-cutting national goals, in particular:<ul><li>rational use of energy resources;</li><li>introduction of energy-efficient technologies;</li><li>adaptation of infrastructure to new challenges and environmental protection;</li><li>adherence to the principles of equality, inclusiveness and accessibility for all categories of the population.</li></ul>Based on the expert evaluation of the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Finance and Ministry for Development, the State Single Project Pipeline includes 89 projects and 60 programs, including 75 ongoing, financed from the 2025 budget, as well as 74 new projects and programs. They will be eligible for full or partial financing from the 2026 state budget. The approved SPP covers the following public investment sectors:<ul><li>environment;</li><li>energy;</li><li>housing;</li><li>municipal infrastructure and services;</li><li>education and science;</li><li>healthcare;</li><li>legal affairs and judiciary;</li><li>public services and digitalization;</li><li>public finance;</li><li>social sphere;</li><li>transport.</li></ul>According to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 527 of February 28, 2025, the stages of project preparation include the development of a pre-feasibility study and a full feasibility study. This involves justifying the strategic, economic, financial, managerial and commercial feasibility of PIPs. For programs, feasibility studies must justify the strategic, economic, financial and managerial feasibility. The DREAM Project Office team was involved in coordinating the preparation of national-level projects and programs with their initiators. Presentations were held, explanations of the preparation logic were provided, training on using the DREAM system was conducted, and support for responsible stakeholders was ensured. The State Single Project Pipeline of public investments can be accessed on the DREAM public portal - dream.gov.ua/spp-pipeline - as well as in the analytics module. In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved the resolution “On Amendments to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of February 28, 2025 No. 527” on public investment management - https://bit.ly/41roW9f The amendments are aimed at:<ul><li>improving pre-investment preparation procedures;</li><li>improving the quality of feasibility studies;</li><li>introducing unified approaches to the use of the DREAM system;</li><li>differentiating requirements depending on the project value.</li></ul>The reform of public investment management is changing the strategic approach to the development of communities and regions. By the end of August, local project teams must form and approve Medium-Term Plans of Priority Public Investments (MIP). After that, to implement the main directions of the MIPs, communities and regions will prepare public investment projects and programs. SPPs at the community and regional levels must be formed in October. The SPPs at the regional or community level, as well as the national SPP, are formed using DREAM system, which makes project pipelines transparent and accessible for review, analysis and monitoring by line ministries, international partners, international financial organizations, the public, and potentially increases opportunities for obtaining financing from other sources. The line ministries, responsible for reform implementation, the DREAM Project Office team, the Open Contracting Partnership and other partners are preparing explanatory and training campaigns to strengthen local capacities and ensure effective public investment management.

State Single Project Pipeline of Public Investments for 2026 Approved

Several russian Telegram channels are spreading false information about an alleged "hack" of the DREAM electronic platform. We emphasize: the data being portrayed as “leaked” is, in fact, open data. It is publicly accessible to anyone via the DREAM system’s open API (Application Programming Interface), which is documented on the platform’s public portal. Similar manipulations were previously used regarding the Prozorro and Prozorro.Sale systems, which were also subjects of comparable false claims. Openness is one of the core principles behind DREAM. Open data is actively used by civil society organizations, journalists, analysts, and private services to enhance transparency and efficiency in managing public investments. We assure you: there has been no leak of personal data, nor any technical or infrastructural breach of the system. User data, project information, donor records, and contacts remain fully protected. In early 2025, as part of cooperation with the European Commission and the EU4PFM project, the international company EY conducted an independent IT audit of the DREAM system. The audit assessed compliance with global best practices for software, information, and infrastructure security of IT systems, as outlined in the Application Security Verification Standard (OWASP ASVS). It covered all key control areas, including data security, internal networks, infrastructure, monitoring services, and access control. &nbsp;The audit confirmed the platform's reliability and high level of compliance, particularly in safeguarding information assets. All identified potential vulnerabilities were addressed as part of this year’s system update cycle. We urge media outlets, analysts, and the public to rely only on verified sources of information and to refrain from spreading narratives that are part of information attacks by the aggressor state.
