The specific objective is to "accelerate green reconstruction and recovery, and enable the return, protection, and development of the targeted populations." The program proposes a flexible approach, given the volatile context in which it will operate. BE-RELIEVE will work in the following major areas: energy efficiency, reconstruction, health, social protection, education, and employment. This is organized into three pillars: (1) construction and rehabilitation; (2) basic health and social protection services; and (3) general and vocational education and skilled labor. The primary focus will be on the Chernihiv region, and by extension, Kyiv, but work will also be carried out at the national level, depending on Ukraine's needs. Depending on the situation, the program's geographical focus may be further expanded.

Key issues such as environmental sustainability, gender equality, local governance and resilience related to the security context will be mainstreamed throughout the program. 5. Ukraine’s reform agenda is supported, with a focus on the country’s pathway to accession into the European Union, while cooperation between Ukrainian and Belgian public actors is strengthened, fostering ties as future EU partners.
