Ukraine Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment: February 2022 - February 2023

This second Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA2) jointly developed by the World Bank Group, the Government of Ukraine, the European Commission, and the United Nations, presents an assessment of one year of war impacts, in line with a globally accepted methodology.

The assessment quantifies direct physical damage to infrastructure and buildings and quantifies the needs as the costs for recovery and reconstruction. To support the Government of Ukraine and partners with urgent recovery and reconstruction planning, the RDNA2 also estimates 2023 implementation priorities and costs, which consider urgent recovery and reconstruction needs, government priorities, absorptive and implementation capacity of different sectors, and to some extent available financing. Due to the ongoing war, there are inherent data limitations and assumptions, which are noted in the report.
