Transparent reconstruction processes remain a priority in the cooperation between the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) and Mykolaiv. The Mykolaiv City Council has already updated procurement policies, introduced price monitoring for key construction materials, and launched a comprehensive transformation of the technical supervision.
At the end of January, the City Council approved the Procedure for the establishment and operation of the Recovery Projects Register.
What does this mean for the city?
From now on, all reconstruction projects and up-to-date information on budgets and implementation timelines, will be available in one place. The data will be opened to all stakeholders — city residents, journalists, and international partners.
Where will all the information be stored?
The Unified Recovery Projects Registry will function within Mykolaiv’s Geographic Information System (GIS), specifically within a newly developed damage and reconstruction tracking module. This system allows for recording damages, creating commission inspection reports, and structuring the city’s reconstruction projects.
The damage and reconstruction tracking module was developed with the EUACI support and officially presented in December 2022.
Currently, the GIS remains closed to external access due to security restrictions. However, as soon as permissions are granted, all data will be made publicly available — both for damage assessments and reconstruction updates.
“A systematic approach allows us to effectively prioritize infrastructure recovery and develop a long-term strategy for Mykolaiv’s reconstruction. High-quality data is a key component of transparent and efficient city management. It is important for residents to have access to information on all stages of rebuilding our city,” stated the Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych.
