About us
The Ministry for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine (Minregion) is the central executive authority responsible for shaping and implementing state policy in the areas of regional development, local self-government, housing policy, construction, urban planning, spatial planning and the creation of a barrier-free environment. The Ministry is also responsible for shaping and implementing state policy to support territories affected by the war, promote the rights of internally displaced persons, their adaptation and integration into communities, and create conditions for the recovery and development of territories.
Mission
Our principle is “The state is close at hand”.
Minregion develops and implements state policy in the areas of regional development, local self-government, housing policy and support for internally displaced persons.
We strengthen the capacity of communities to provide high-quality and accessible services regardless of where a Ukrainian lives - in a metropolis, a remote community or a mountain community.
We act in accordance with European standards and in partnership with communities, partners and experts.
Vision
Territorially differentiated state policy that meets EU standards: every community has the powers, resources and personnel to provide high-quality services, internally displaced persons have sustainable housing solutions and access to services, and the country is ready for the return of Ukrainians from abroad.
