The ILI became a partner of the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, the Interdisciplinary Anti-Corruption Research and Education Centre of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, and the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton LLP within the framework of the research program ‘Innovations for Successful Societies’
The ILI worked on the summary and analysis of hundreds of Ukrainian laws related to reconstruction. This is the second component of a large international project aimed at helping the country rebuild the infrastructure destroyed or damaged by the Russian invasion. More than 450 separate sources have been analyzed in this fruitful collaboration.
The program aims to ensure that all those seeking to work on construction projects in Ukraine are aware of the legal and technical requirements and regulations of the country. A wide variety of institutions and organizations around the worldmay be working on Ukraine's reconstruction, and few, if any, will have a full understanding of the many laws that apply in the country.
The need for this is urgent as the country needs to rebuild, even as the fighting continues, so that daily life, including commerce and interpersonal interactions, can proceed as smoothly as possible.
‘Without infrastructure, without roads, without bridges, without social infrastructure, without energy infrastructure, all these things are impossible,’ says Tetyana Khutor, head of the ILI.
