About the Fund

Background

The Ukraine Transport Support Fund was set up by the Common Interest Group for Ukraine (CIG4U), a group of International Transport Forum (ITF) member countries formed on Sweden’s initiative. It is modelled on the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.

The Fund channels contributions to specific reconstruction and modernisation projects across all four transport modes. It is designed to act faster and in a more targeted way than larger financing institutions, based on Ukraine’s immediate needs, while coordinating with the financial institutions already active in Ukraine.
