Webinar: An Introduction to Public Investment Management
Ukraine is implementing a major reform in how public funds are managed. Starting in 2026, all public investment projects in Ukraine must be planned and monitored through the digital DREAM system. To prepare professionals for this transition, the Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development and DREAM Academy are hosting a webinar titled 'First Steps in Public Investment Management' on February 5th. This session is designed for specialists who are new to the field of public investment management.
DREAM Academy, which operates under the Ministry, provides continuous training both online and in-person across every region of Ukraine. In 2025 alone, the Academy organized 56 training events for a total of 21,152 participants. The upcoming webinar will cover key topics including:
- Medium-term planning
- The State Priority Investment Plan (SPIP)
- Support available from the DREAM Project Office
The Academy's work receives operational support from the Open Contracting Partnership. Furthermore, the 'Digitalization for Growth, Integrity, and Transparency' (UK DIGIT) project is implemented by the Eurasia Foundation and funded by the UK Government through UK Dev. To aid learning, the platform at academy.dream.gov.ua offers methodological guides, recordings of past training sessions, detailed instructions, an event calendar, and a supportive Facebook community.
The Goal of the DREAM Digital System
The introduction of the DREAM system aims to significantly improve the efficiency of managing public investments in Ukraine, representing a crucial step toward greater transparency and accountability in state spending. The February 5th webinar is a key initiative to equip professionals with the digital management skills required for this new operational environment.
This focus on training underscores the growing emphasis on professional development in Ukraine, which is vital for the success of ambitious public sector reforms. Mastering this system is essential for ensuring public funds are used effectively for national recovery and development.
