1. Background

The Government of Luxembourg, acting through the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency (LuxDev) launched in April 2024 a five-year, multi-component project entitled “Krytsia: Support for the Recovery of Kryvyi Rih Raion”. The project aims to bolster the socio-economic resilience and recovery of the Raion and targets the general population - approximately 700,000 residents - including such vulnerable groups IDPs, ex-combatants, and children with special needs. The project’s comprehensive approach addresses multiple facets of recovery, including employment, education, governance, and energy security ensuring broad and sustainable impact.

The project pursues four main objectives. First, it seeks to enhance employment by strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and supporting Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through updated curricula, improved infrastructure, and targeted financial and technical assistance, complemented by demining awareness and training. Second, it aims to improve education for children aged 3–17 by expanding online and offline learning, upgrading curricula and facilities, promoting STEM education, and ensuring safe and inclusive environments, with tailored support for children with special needs. Third, the project strengthens the skills of raion authorities in recovery management by providing training in planning, project management, and resource allocation, while supporting locally owned recovery initiatives. Fourth, it enhances energy security for critical infrastructure and communities by addressing war-related disruptions, promoting energy resilience, and supporting sustainable local energy solutions. Throughout its implementation, the project emphasizes collaboration with local authorities, international donors, and stakeholders to ensure sustainability and lasting impact. The project is managed by LuxDev and co-implemented with PROMAN.
