Work is to start next year on the projects

Work is to start next year on the projects which are both sections of the Trans-European Transport Network, or TEN-T. Of the money, two thirds goes to rebuilding 275 km of the Kyiv-Odesa highway, and one third to completing the circular bypass around Lviv. “Under the project, the government of Ukraine is committing to enhance Ukravtodor’s procurement system and to strengthen its internal controls, policies and procedures to prevent bribery and corruption, the EBRD says. Both banks issued a joint statement Friday calling reform of Ukravtodor a “litmus test” for anti-corruption work in Ukraine.
