One key topic was further reform of the State Regional Development Fund, which the World Bank has supported since 2023. In 2026, 113 projects are being implemented through the Fund in 22 regions with the participation of 92 local authorities. Minregion is working on the next stage of the Fund’s reform: moving from financing individual facilities to supporting medium-term investment plans of regions and communities. “The Fund must become an effective instrument for regional development. It is important to move to multi-year planning and bring the Fund closer to European approaches. We discussed expert support for this work with the World Bank,” said Vitalii Bezghin. They also discussed development of the “Side by Side” project and intermunicipal cooperation — partnerships between communities, joint projects and opportunities to attract international support. Other topics included preparation for the annual Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA), housing policy, energy efficiency and support for IDPs, including major repairs to apartment buildings, voucher mechanisms for IDPs, thermal modernisation and integration of IDP needs into recovery programmes. ## Other news - October 29, 2026[The resilience of Ukrainian communities has a cost — and it extends beyond damaged infrastructure](https://minregion.gov.ua/en/blog/the-resilience-of-ukrainian-communities-has-a-cost-and-it-extends-beyond-damaged-infrastructure-aa9323f7) - October 28, 2026[Nearly 4.5 thousand streets and 33.5 thousand addresses verified in Ukraine during the III quarter](https://minregion.gov.ua/en/blog/nearly-4-5-thousand-streets-and-33-5-thousand-addresses-verified-in-ukraine-during-the-iii-quarter-b26fefb3) - October 28, 2026[Minregion will mobilise an additional UAH 4 billion for housing vouchers for IDPs from temporarily occupied territories: agreement with the Council of Europe Development Bank](https://minregion.gov.ua/en/blog/minregion-will-mobilise-an-additional-uah-4-billion-for-housing-vouchers-for-idps-from-temporarily-occupied-0a3d7717) ### Join the discussion Read draft materials and send your proposals during open public consultations.
