The sustainability of financing for the demining process in Ukraine's territory

Abstract

The article considers the possibility of integrating demining efforts with economic recovery and sustainable development initiatives. For this purpose innovative financial models such as Outcomes-Based Financing, Outcome-Based Public-Private Partnerships and Sustainability Linked Bonds are proposed that can provide sustainable financing beyond traditional humanitarian aid. The potential to attract diverse sources of capital and to overcome funding gaps is demonstrated by these mechanisms, with demining transformed from a costly humanitarian operation into a strategic investment. Specific recommendations are provided for creating a favourable regulatory environment, prioritizing economically significant work, and strengthening international coordination. The main conclusion is that the transformation of approaches to financing is deemed essential for ensuring Ukraine’s comprehensive post-war recovery and prosperity.
