The Government of Ukraine, with financial support from the World Bank-administered Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction and Reform Trust Fund (URTF), is implementing the HOPE Project to facilitate the repair of partially damaged housing caused by the Russian Federation’s military aggression. The main objective of the assignment is to support the Government of Ukraine in supervising the HOPE Project by independently verifying, monitoring, and reporting on the implementation of Component 1. This includes assessing compliance with legal and World Bank standards, evaluating the eligibility and transparency of expenditures, tracking project results and impacts on beneficiaries, and collecting stakeholder feedback. Particip will conduct a comprehensive analysis of processes, identify gaps or risks, and provide recommendations to improve project delivery and advance its development goals.
The Project is managed through the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development (MCTD) and is structured around three main components, each contributing to housing recovery and institutional capacity building.
Component 1: Repair of Partially Damaged Residential Units (USD 590 million)
This component provides financial compensation to eligible households for the emergency repair of their single-family homes (SFHs) or apartments in multi-family buildings (MFBs) that sustained minor or medium damage. Applications are submitted via the national e-service platform (DIIA) or through local administrative service centers, with damage verified by local commissions.

• Subcomponent 1.1 (Minor Damage): Repairs up to UAH 200,000. Compensation is disbursed retroactively against reported expenses. At least 5% of completed repairs are verified.
• Subcomponent 1.2 (Medium Damage): Repairs up to UAH 350,000 for MFB units and UAH 500,000 for SFHs. Includes engineering safety checks, two-tranche payments, and verification of at least 10% of units.

To ensure integrity and compliance, Particip will be engaged to verify the implementation of Component 1, monitor the process at both national and local levels, and ensure alignment with Ukrainian legislation and World Bank safeguards​.
Component 2: Design and Capital Repair of Partially Damaged Multi-Family Buildings (USD 200 million)
Focused on large-scale rehabilitation in up to five selected communities, this component includes:
