| Summary: | Ukraine’s forest sector has untapped
potential to contribute to environmental stability, economic
growth, and the well-being of its citizens. The present
government which came into power in 2020 is moving ahead on
critical reforms in different sectors to strengthen the
foundations for development and growth. This is an opportune
time to realize the forest sector’s full potential. The
objective of this note is to strengthen the dialog with
Ukraine on the forest sector in light of the ongoing reforms
in the country. It explores how the sector can increase its
contribution to the post-pandemic economic recovery. It
presents an overview of the sector and outlines
opportunities to increase jobs and value added. It also
looks at opportunities for a stronger forest based green
economy through the revival of wood processing industry.
Short term and long-term policy, institutional and technical
management actions are presented as the basis for a
long-term partnership with Ukraine. |
