As Russia’s campaign of aggression in Ukraine enters its fourth month, Ukraine’s social and economic fabric has been left in shreds. Recovery will be painful and long-term and will depend on the effective mobilisation of international support systems. In this webinar, we will listen to the voices of Ukrainian practitioners and decision-makers who are living through the nightmare and who are willing to share their insights on how the international community can most effectively support business and civil society in the short- and medium-term.
📢 Day 1 will focus on the impacts of the war on business and economic affairs and the challenges for economic reconstruction. It will feature speakers with administrative responsibility for business development in the country as well as representatives of the business community in Ukraine.
