The most discussed challenges of regional recovery during the panel discussions were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • a lack of a comprehensive vision of the restoration of specific regions, taking into account the relationships with neighboring regions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • poor or completely absent coordination of actions on recovery issues between stakeholders on all levels (national and local authorities, donor organizations, communities); <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • poor or outdated design of restoration solutions\/projects, often due to the lack of community capacity and budget for the development of project and estimate documentation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • poor prioritization of projects, financed by the state recovery fund;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • human capital development is a crucial element for the ongoing and future recovery;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
