SUMMARY:Readiness of Ukraine to implement the EU LEADER programme
DESCRIPTION:Ukraine’s recovery will not succeed without strong and empowered local communities. While the European Union has mobilised significant financial instruments for Ukraine’s reconstruction\, funding often fails to reach the local level where recovery actually happens. \nThe policy seminar will focus on bringing together Ukrainian local leaders\, EU policymakers\, Members of the European Parliament\, representatives of EU institutions\, and civil society organisations. The event will explore how EU recovery instruments could better support community-led approaches\, pilot the LEADER methodology in Ukraine\, and enable recovery funding to reach municipalities and local partnerships directly. \nConfirmed speakers:\n– Thibaut Guignard – President of LEADER France and member of the European Committee of the Regions\, Mayor of Plœuc-L’Hermitage\n– Aelig Le Gentil – Leader France\n– Serhii Zamidra – First Deputy Head at All-Ukrainian Association of Communities\n– Lukáš Veselý – Deputy Head of Unit – Ukraine’s Reconstruction & Accession (DG ENEST.D1)\n– Sviatoslav Surma\, Fond Rydnia Stryj\n– Michaela Macharik – President of Czech-Ukrainian Chamber of Industry & Commerce \n  \nRegister in the link in the “details” section \n
