Norway announces 100 million NOK for private sector development in Ukraine in 2026 and 2027
The purpose of this call for proposals:
The aim of the scheme is to promote investment‑ready projects and facilitate increased private investment in Ukraine. The call is open to applicants from all countries, including Ukrainian, international, and Norwegian companies. Projects related to sustainable energy production, food security and agriculture, as well as the reconstruction of critical infrastructure, will be considered as particularly relevant. The scheme seeks to mobilise private capital, create new jobs, and improve the framework conditions for the private sector.
The call is linked to budget item 159.73 in Prop 1S 2025–2026 and the regulations for the grant scheme: Ukraine and neighbouring countries.
All applications must be submitted via the digital application form in the Grants Portal. In the Grants Portal, you will also find more detailed information about the call for proposals and contact information for the responsible section in case you still have questions after having reviewed all the information below.
No applicants are entitled to a grant under this call for proposals, even if all criteria are met. Competition for grant funds is considerable, and applicants are expected to demonstrate strong technical and administrative competence and capacity.
Decisions on the award of grants will be made following an overall assessment of the applications against the criteria set out in the grant scheme regulations as well as the objectives and priorities of the call for proposals. In the final assessment of applications, consideration will also be given to the composition of a comprehensive portfolio.
Applications must be complete, with all mandatory fields filled in and all mandatory attachments included. Incomplete applications will normally be rejected. Applicants are therefore requested to read the call for proposals carefully to ensure that all requirements are met before submission.
