Project Description

Through this TC Project, the EBRD is seeking to provide support to the Project Management Unit (PMU) within the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine. This initiative involves deploying four technical experts for up to 17 months to enhance the PMU's capabilities in project preparation and implementation.

The SOE "Project Management Unit for Restoration" (PMU), formerly named "UkrDorInvest," was established in 2008. The PMU has historically implemented internationally funded projects within the road sector and has played a crucial role in offering management and consulting services, encompassing engineering and feasibility studies, international procurement, financial management, environmental and social compliance, and other project-related activities. Going forward, the PMU’s remit will expand to include project preparation and implementation in other sectors and areas, in line with the expansion of the Agency’s own remit. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has significantly impaired the capacity of both the Agency and the PMU, manifesting in adverse effects on staffing, budget, and overall project management capabilities under challenging conditions.

This TC Project aims to enhance the capacity of the PMU in project preparation and implementation, addressing the challenges posed by the ongoing war and its impact on management capabilities at the PMU. This TC Project will fund four (4) technical experts for the PMU. The experts will provide targeted assistance to further develop the projects identified by the EBRD-funded Road Sector Pipeline Development Project (see PSD 16912-142565), as well as contribute to bolstering the wider project development activities of the Agency.

The specialists hired by this TC Project will support the PMU with:

Design, Engineering, and Construction Supervision: Providing technical support for project preparation and construction stages, developing qualified design and construction technical tasks, coordinating technical support and consultant activities, and conducting on-site testing and acceptance procedures.
Contract Management and Procurement: Supporting the preparation of detailed designs and bills of quantities, developing and preparing contracts in compliance with Ukrainian law and international frameworks (e.g., FIDIC conditions), enhancing procurement and post-procurement processes, and developing a legal and organizational framework for the PMU’s Customer Service function.
Environmental and Social Compliance: Developing and implementing Environmental and Social Action Plans, preparing annual environmental and social reports, and supervising and monitoring contractors' implementation of action plans.
Road Infrastructure Strategy Development: Developing evidence and analysis in the road sector, identifying and prioritizing road sector projects using multi-criteria and cost-benefit analysis, coordinating with relevant entities for strategy development and implementation, and monitoring adherence to EBRD standards while reporting on project progress.

Given the specialized nature of this support, this TC Project will enable the PMU and the Agency to attract the precise expertise needed to address their specific operational challenges with infrastructure sector project development and management – particularly in the road sector.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the EBRD Enquiries form

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
