Roughly two million homes have been damaged or destroyed in Ukraine, where the full-scale Russian invasion has entered a third year.
A recent UN-backed assessment estimated that overall reconstruction and recovery will cost $486 billion over the next decade.
The UN Development Programme (UNDP) is working with the authorities and civil society on recovery efforts, which includes supporting a project called Velyke Divnytsvo – Ukrainian for “girls” and “construction” – that encourages women to take up tools and rebuild their country, one house at a time.
UN News’s Liudmila Blagonravova spoke to UNDP’s Resident Representative in Ukraine Jaco Cilliers. She began by asking him about the immense challenge of building back from war.
