The approved documents also provide for EUR 4,300,000 to be paid as a contribution to the European Peace Facility in support of the Ukrainian armed forces.
In 2024, Latvia will retain its focus on the Chernihiv region in the following areas: reconstruction of social infrastructure facilities; providing psychological support to women; the digitalisation sectors and the transfer of expertise to Ukrainian specialists on EU matters, spatial planning, and others.
From 2024 onwards, the implementation of reconstruction projects will be co-ordinated by the Central Finance and Contracts Agency in its capacity of the Latvian Development Cooperation Agency.
