This paper delves into the challenge of financing Sustainable Development Goal 3 “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages” (SDG 3). Despite its ambitious nature, the achievement of this goal has been hindered by a substantial lack of funding. The study aims to investigate potential sources to bridge the investment gap in SDG 3, analyzing data from 28 European countries. This includes factors such as the index and progress in sustainable development, sources of investment resources, and healthcare costs for 2020. Logit and probit regression models are employed for the analysis. The results indicate the absence of a statistically significant relationship between the volume of investments from the state, businesses, and households of countries and their level of SDG 3 achievement. However, an interesting finding emerges regarding healthcare expenditures under state insurance programs among European countries, which show a greater extent of progress in achieving SDGs compared to voluntary insurance programs. The paper emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach that uses multiple funding sources and the need for focused policies and partnerships to mobilize resources to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

In the article, the authors reveal the historical and legal aspects of space activities in Ukraine. The historical and legal acts of the Ukrainian SSR and the Soviet Union, regulating the space industry, are analyzed. Considerable attention was paid to the peculiarities of legal regulation of the activities of the main space design bureaus of the time. It is concluded that the space activities of the USSR — in general and the Ukrainian SSR were provided on the basis of sublegislative normative legal acts (resolutions of the Council of Ministers and orders of the Central bodies of the Communist party). However, the lack of the national space law was offset by systematic and full funding of space activities, resulting in the Soviet Union having a powerful space industry. In the conditions of modern development, Ukraine has all the opportunities to achieve significant development of the space industry, using the positive experience of the USSR and opening access to space activities of private investment.

The article examines infrastructure investment projects, their impact on the economy. The main attention is paid to road construction objects, because the road network still does not meet modern requirements. Due to the fact that infrastructure projects are diagnosed and classified according to areas of activity, systematized according to the forms of implementation, it is necessary to determine approaches to a targeted assessment of the effectiveness of such projects, depending on their classification, which are formulated in the article. Attention is focused on the need for alternative projects, which is facilitated by the digitalization of the economy. Infrastructure projects can be financed from several sources of budgets of all levels, off-budget funds, private investors ’ funds, joint and project financing, concession agreements, foreign investments and bank loans with a minimum interest rate.

Port industry plays one of key roles the economy of Ukraine. Sea ports are component part of a transport and productive infrastructure of the state and taking into account their location play key role as a “Sea Gates” to internal transport corridors.The corporate governance reform aims to create an efficient and transparent state enterprise management environment which will protect the rights of an owner, establish an effective system of internal controls and create a level playing field with commercial companies in the market in compliance with the principles of corporate governance set out by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Material Unwell-being of settlement of such factors has direct influence on efficiency of functioning of port and transport industry, but also economies of country on the whole. However this research has for an object illumination of fundamental criterion is management forms. An author comes to the conclusion about the necessity of the use for Ukraine of the best world practices from administration of port industry and decision of problems that arose up, by creation at legislative level of terms for development of marine ports with application of case of Landlord Ports frame.

The necessity of increasing the investment and innovative support for forestry practices as a necessary prerequisite to ensure the maximum possible wood growth and integrated use of forest resource potential is substantiated. It is found that under current conditions the main institutional prerequisite for attracting private investments in forestry is the establishment of partnerships between state forestry enterprises and private business entities. There analyzed the main tendencies of harvesting liquid wood from final felling, age structure of the main forest-forming species, area of increment felling at state forestry enterprises of Cherkasy region, which is a prerequisite for selecting priority areas for investment and innovation support for forestry practices of permanent forest users in the region. It is proved that the priority direction in investment and innovation support for forestry practices at state forestry enterprises of Cherkasy region is the formation of a mechanism for updating the fleet of production equipment and implements on a new technological basis, which will contribute to the maximum possible approximation of their forestry practices to the principles and rules of science-based forest management.
