“The Road to Restoration”: analytical report based on the results of the second season of the “Conversations about Restoration”



We presented a new analytical report, “The Road to Restoration”, prepared based on the results of the second season of the “Conversations about Restoration” project.

As part of this season, we conducted 15 video interviews with experts and opinion leaders working in Kherson and the region, including representatives of civil society organizations, journalists, government officials, educators, and business professionals.

They have a deep understanding of the current situation in the region, work directly with the population, build cross-sectoral partnerships, implement humanitarian and strategic projects, attract resources and international donors to the communities of the Kherson region, restore social ties after the de-occupation of the right bank of the Kherson region, and participate in planning the future in various sectors.

We have compiled their vision of the problems affecting the Kherson region and proposed ways to address them in an analytical report. This report aims not only to diagnose the current state but also to highlight those “sprouts” of revival that are emerging from the trials. It will show how, despite everything, the people of Kherson continue to fight for their city, dream of its future, and create the prerequisites for a recovery that will be “better than it was”.

The authorities, public organizations, and businesses all work in inhuman conditions, performing vital functions. However, to achieve strategic goals, a radical change in approaches is necessary. What is needed is a genuine, not a declarative, unification of efforts among all key players, a clear vision of the future, shared responsibility, transparent communication, and active involvement of those who remain and are ready to fight for their home. This is a long and exhausting path, but it is the only possible one.

The report can be found here.

The publication of this analytical report was made possible thanks to the support of the Prague Civil Society Centre.
