The article presents a comprehensive analysis of infrastructure recovery management as a strategic instrument for attracting investment in post-conflict regions. The relevance of the study is justified by the large-scale destruction of critical infrastructure, heightened security risks, and the need to stabilize economic processes and create conditions for long-term development. The study demonstrates that effective public management mechanisms play a decisive role in restoring investment attractiveness and enabling the transition from crisis response to sustainable modernization. The research assesses the effectiveness of strategic planning tools, digital management of infrastructure projects, public–private partnerships, risk-based approaches, and innovative reconstruction practices. Structural transformations in state infrastructure policy are analyzed, including the establishment of specialized recovery institutions, the introduction of digital monitoring platforms, increased regionalization of reconstruction processes, and the evolution of international assistance mechanisms. The methodological framework is based on systematic, comparative, and economic-analytical approaches, including scenario modeling, assessment of investment attractiveness, institutional analysis, and the synthesis of international post-conflict reconstruction experience. The findings identify key success factors for investment attraction, such as governance quality, procedural transparency, digitalization, security guarantees, and effective communication with international partners. The results have practical value for policymakers, regional authorities, and international stakeholders involved in post-conflict recovery and modernization strategies.
