The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) has recognized Maksym Sysoiev, an associate in Dentons’ Kyiv office, for his contribution to the OECD’s “Sector Competitiveness Strategy for Ukraine– Phase III”. Maksym Sysoiev took an active part in the OECD’s Working Group on Renewable Energies, which was set up as part of the project.

Maksym, in co-authorship with Yaroslav Petrov (Counsel at Asters), prepared a report entitled “Implementation phases of projects for construction of Biomass/Biogas based power and/or heat generation facilities,” which was included in the project summary “Fostering Investment in the Biomass Sector in Ukraine” published in December 2015. The report is available here.

“The OECD thanks Mr. Yaroslav Petrov (Counsel, Asters) and Mr. Maksym Sysoiev (Associate, Dentons) for providing valuable insights to the project summary and for preparing the in-depth report on the implementation phases of projects for construction of Biomass/Biogas based power and heat generation facilities,” - representatives of the OECD commented.

The OECD project “Sector Competitiveness Strategy for Ukraine” was launched in 2009. Phase III of the project aimed to put a sustainable reform process in place and support the Government of Ukraine in implementing the necessary reforms. This was done by sharing OECD expertise and methodologies, identifying policy challenges to private sector competitiveness in the target sectors, consulting with the private sector and organizing capacity-building events to strengthen government institutions. The project’s Phase III concluded in December 2015 and was co-financed by the European Union and the Government of Sweden.

Working with more than 100 countries, the OECD is a global policy forum that promotes policies to improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world.
