Situation and Context

Russia’s war against Ukraine continues to take a huge toll on Ukrainian citizens, infrastructure, economy and budget.

The Swiss international cooperation program for Ukraine 2025-2028 foresees a holistic set of measures to support recovery and reconstruction, including through measures involving the Swiss private sector. The Federal Council decided to provide CHF 5 billion in funding for Ukraine between 2025-2036, of which CHF 1.5 billion are to be allocated under the International Cooperation Strategy 2025-28. The Federal Council further decided that out of this amount, CHF 500 million will be dedicated to measures aimed at enhancing the involvement of the Swiss private sector in Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.

Based on their expertise and specialist knowledge, Swiss companies can make an importantcontribution to Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction process, including with innovative and high-quality products.

This is the second Call for Proposals inviting applications from Swiss companies aiming to support the Economic Recovery and Reconstruction in Ukraine.
