Objectives of Ukraine Government PPF

As part of the integrated project preparation framework, the Ukraine Government PPF objectives are to support Ukraine in preparing specific projects identified by the GoU under the SPP as priorities through the project cycle, while at the same time building GoU capacity to handle more projects over time.  While the initial focus of the PPF will be priority repair and recovery needs funded from public sources (including GoU budget, DFI and IFI financing), over time it can be used as a vehicle and entity to support broader reconstruction efforts, including through PPPs and private finance, and additional financial instruments.
