Ukraine and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development have discussed the restructuring of the RELINC project and the attraction of $70 million for the modernization of the transport network, in particular port and railway infrastructure.
This was reported by the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine.
During a working meeting of the Ministry of Development with representatives of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) of the World Bank Group, the parties discussed the implementation of key projects for the restoration of transport logistics – RELINC (“Restoration of Critical Logistics Infrastructure and Network Connectivity”) and DRIVE (“Creating Resilient Infrastructure in Fragile Environments in Ukraine”).
“Each stage, especially regarding the consideration of documentation, must have clear and realistic deadlines in order to avoid delays and guarantee the quality of the final result,” – emphasized Deputy Minister for Development Maryna Denysiuk.
