Platform

The Multi-agency Donor Coordination Platform for Ukraine was established following a decision of G7 leaders taken on 12 December 2022 (click here to read their statement).

The Platform’s mandate is to coordinate the support for Ukraine’s immediate financing needs and future economic recovery and reconstruction across different sources and established instruments for financing, complementing existing tracks (e.g. the G7 finance track, G7 coordination group on energy infrastructure, IFI coordination group). Its aim is also to direct resources in a coherent, transparent, and inclusive manner.

The Platform works closely with Ukrainian authorities to define, prioritise, and sequence strategic needs, in line with Ukraine’s reform ambitions, with the conditions for financing and structural support of the major donors, and in line with Ukraine’s European path (click here to learn more about actions facilitated by the Platform)

Steering Committee

The Platform’s Steering Committee is comprised of senior officials from Ukraine, the G7 countries and the EU. It meets regularly. The Steering Committee governs the Platform on a consensus basis.

Senior officials from the United States, the European Commission, and Ukraine co-chair the Steering Committee, notably Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine - Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics Mike Pyle on behalf of the United States and Director General Gert Jan Koopman of the Directorate-General for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations of the European Commission, on behalf of the European Union. The three chairs collaborate in close coordination with the G7 Presidency.

International Financial Institutions and organisations also attend the meetings of the Steering Committee as active participants. This includes the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Investment Bank, the Council of Europe Development Bank and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Technical Secretariat

The Platform and its Steering Committee are supported by a technical Secretariat, which provides administrative assistance and coordination across the Platform. It is led by a Head of Secretariat Anna Jarosz Friis (European Commission) and a Deputy Kateryna Elishyieva (Government of Ukraine, Ministry of Finance).

The Secretariat operates both in Brussels and Kyiv. The Brussels office is hosted by the Directorate General for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations of the European Commission, and the Kyiv office by the Reform Delivery Office of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, led by Tetyana Kovtun.

Platform members second staff to the Secretariat.
