Through expert support, targeted recommendations and specialised trainings, the Project will promote an effective national and local regulatory framework on housing solutions and ensure its alignment with Council of Europe standards. Special attention will be given to enhancing the knowledge of a wide range of professionals on the applicable European and international standards and experiences on housing programmes for, among others, displaced and war-affected people.
Task #2: Promoting and implementing targeted digital solutions to ensure access to housing rights for the war-affected people in Ukraine by providing support (carrying out needs assessment, providing recommendations, etc.), strengthening the potential for the implementation of digital tools for mapping and monitoring the restoration of destroyed or damaged housing at the community level, as well as supporting information campaigns to ensure access to reliable information on housing and reconstruction programs.
The Project will provide expert support and capacity building to relevant stakeholders in implementing the relevant digital tools for the mapping and reconstruction for destroyed or damaged houses at the community level. The Project will further facilitate access to housing solutions at the local level, through needs assessments, provision of legal and technical support, and by ensuring access to reliable information on housing assistance and reconstruction programmes, with a focus on housing programmes to be supported by the Council of Europe Development Bank.
