Project Implementation
The Agency will independently initiate and implement projects demonstrating new approaches, filling critical gaps, or testing innovative solutions towards a Just Transition.
Attraction of External Resources
The Agency will explore mechanisms for obtaining loans and will establish partnerships with foundations, embassies, and international organizations to secure financial support.
Support for City Council Departments
The Agency will provide advisory support to the Sheptytskyi City Council in the areas of communication, monitoring, and project management. It will also monitor the implementation of projects initiated by the city council departments and be responsible for the reporting process to donors.
Conducting Public Communication and Dialogue
The Agency will shape the culture and values of the just transition and foster public understanding of this process by explaining the goals and results of the transformation in clear language, highlighting success stories and pilot initiatives.
Monitoring and Adjustment
The Agency will continuously monitor the implementation of the 'Just Transition Action Plan for the Chervonohrad City Territorial Community for the period up to 2030'. Accordingly, it will prepare analytical reviews and brief reports for the city council, providing recommendations for adjusting priorities or reallocating resources.
The Just Transition Agency was established to serve as a bridge between the long-term strategic vision and the day-to-day management process. It does not replace the city council or its departments but rather supports, strengthens, and complements their work, particularly in areas requiring additional capacity, effective coordination, or the involvement of external assistance.
The establishment of the MI “JTA” was made possible through the support of the Project “Just Transition in Coal Regions and Green Recovery of the Energy Sector in Ukraine”. This project is implemented in Ukraine by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
