The German government has allocated around UAH 65 million on restoration of five houses, four schools and a kindergarten for internally displaced persons in Dnipropetrovsk region. Relevant tenders will be launched by the end of the summer.

Our foreign partners will grant around UAH 65 million. The towns and districts, which have been selected for the participation in the project, are completing preparations and drawing up design estimate documentation.
