What the Fund supports

Small and medium-sized civilian transport projects: discrete equipment, services and works that are too small or too urgent for large financing programmes. Examples from Ukraine’s priority list:

Electronic queue systems

At 11 road border crossings with the EU, letting hauliers book crossing times instead of waiting in line.

Broad-gauge locomotives

Refurbished units to relieve a major capacity constraint on freight and passenger rail.

Rapid-response vehicles

135 vehicles to restore damaged rail infrastructure quickly and keep services running.

Station accessibility

Better navigation and access at five major railway stations.

From request to delivery

  1. Ukraine identifies needs

    The Ministry for Recovery, Infrastructure and Transport validates and prioritises requests.

  2. Funding is approved

    The Management Committee approves the allocation of funds.

  3. Procurement

    The procurement agent, Lithuania’s CPMA, runs the tender and signs the contract.

  4. Delivery and inspection

  5. Handover

    The asset becomes the property of the Ukrainian operator.
