Recovery Window

What Recovery Window does

Recovery Window (Вікно Відновлення) is a Ukrainian non-profit media network and online content aggregation platform headquartered in Kyiv that aggregates news, investigations, analytics, and publications about Ukraine's post-war reconstruction. The platform was founded in February 2024 as a coalition of 7 co-founding independent media outlets, civil society organizations, and analytical centers — including Skhidny Variant, Vox Ukraine, Intent, MOST, Nakypilo, Rubryka, and the Democratic Initiatives Foundation — and has since scaled to 80+ partner organizations operating under a memorandum of cooperation.

The product is a web-based content aggregation platform accessible at recovery.win, with content organized across 27 Ukrainian regions (all oblasts plus AR Crimea and temporarily occupied territories) and 12 thematic categories including Environment, Economy, Housing, Infrastructure, Education, Rehabilitation, Society, Media, Culture, Reintegration, and Reforms. Content formats include News, Publications, Investigations, Analytics, Instructions, and Opportunities. The platform features accessibility tooling (text-size adjustment, color themes, reading line, large cursor) and serves multiple audience segments: Ukrainian citizens seeking reconstruction information, journalists covering reconstruction topics, internally displaced persons, and veterans and military families.

The business model is grant-funded: the organization operates as an association (об'єднання) supported by international partners and donors, with the editorial policy and content of publications explicitly independent of donor influence. The platform is freely accessible to the public at no cost. Core technology is a web content aggregation layer rather than proprietary AI or analytics infrastructure, and the central team is lean at 9 employees, supplemented by the distributed editorial capacity of the 80+ partner organizations.
