On June 11, 2025, Primavera  experts held an online meeting with representatives of the Vynohradiv UTC of Zakarpattia Oblast and experts of the PROGRESS project “Promoting Green Deal Readiness in the Eastern Partnership Countries”, project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) through the International Climate Initiative (IKI), implemented by the Consortium of organizations under the lead of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

The search for opportunities for cooperation within the PROGRESS project was one of the main topics of discussion during the meeting. The construction of new, reconstruction and modernization of existing irrigation systems in the Vynohradiv community of Volyn Oblast, in particular drip irrigation systems for growing berry and vegetable crops, is an urgent need to ensure sustainable agricultural production in the face of climate change and create new jobs to increase the welfare of the community.

As a result of the meeting, it was agreed to prepare project proposals on these issues for the community for further search for possible sources of funding.
