1. Executive Summary
Ukrainian Infrastructure Fund (UIF) is a private, mission‑driven platform focused on structuring, preparing and delivering bankable, high‑impact infrastructure projects essential to Ukraine’s recovery and EU‑aligned modernization. UIF is a member of Global Infrastructure Funds (GIF). GIF is a member of Global Group of Funds. UIF partners with government, municipalities, development finance institutions (DFIs), multilaterals, and strategic operators. UIF does not solicit funds from investors and offers no securities—our role is to coordinate and deliver projects with transparent governance and strong technical preparation.
2. Context & Need for Reconstruction
The war has damaged national corridors, local connectivity, energy systems, water and sanitation, housing, and digital infrastructure. Reconstruction must balance urgency with quality—aligning with EU acquis, IFI safeguards, and climate‑resilient standards. UIF emphasizes de‑risking, standardization, and rapid mobilization of credible delivery partners.
3. Mission and Mandate
Mission: accelerate Ukraine’s recovery by transforming public priorities into bankable, transparent, and executable infrastructure programs. Mandate: support national and municipal authorities to move priority projects through feasibility, approvals, procurement, and implementation while ensuring compliance and value for money.
4. Value Proposition & Leadership Case
• Government‑first alignment with national and local recovery plans.
• Project Preparation Facility (PPF) to move concepts to bankability (feasibility, ESIA/ESG, procurement packaging, PPP/BOT structures, risk allocation, financial close support).
• Local delivery with international standards, ensuring durable, climate‑resilient results.
• Strong compliance architecture: anti‑corruption, sanctions screening, HSES‑MS, transparency, and whistleblowing channels.
• Integration of demining interfaces and redundancy to manage war risk and lifecycle costs.
• Diaspora engagement to unlock expertise, supply chains, and knowledge transfer.
5. Operating Model & Project Preparation Facility
UIF operates as a lean central team with specialist panels (engineering, procurement, legal, ESG, finance) and regional implementation partners. The PPF advances projects through: (1) concept validation and stakeholder mapping; (2) technical pre‑feasibility/feasibility; (3) environmental & social impact assessment (ESIA) and ESG action plans; (4) procurement strategy including EPC/DBFM/PPP/BOOT; (5) risk allocation and contract drafting; (6) financial structuring with DFIs and public finance; (7) implementation oversight and performance monitoring.
6. Priority Sectors
Transport: roads, rail, bridges, ports, and airports.
Energy: renewables, conventional generation, transmission & distribution, storage, district heating.
Water & Sanitation: treatment plants, networks, flood and wastewater management.
Digital: fiber backbones, 5G, secure data centers, cyber‑resilience.
Urban & Housing: resilient housing, social infrastructure, municipal utilities.
7. Financing Structures & Partnership Pathways (Information Only)
UIF does not raise capital from investors and does not offer or advise on investments. Projects may be financed via public budgets, DFI and multilateral instruments, grants, export credit, or public‑private arrangements where appropriate. UIF’s role is to prepare bankable documentation and support authorities through due process with compliant procurement and transparent risk sharing.
8. Governance, Compliance & Transparency
Governance integrates anti‑corruption controls, sanctions and beneficial‑ownership screening, conflict‑of‑interest management, whistleblowing protections, data protection, and health, safety, environment, and social (HSES) management systems. Reporting follows IFI standards with audit‑ready trails and transparency.
9. ESG, HSES and Resilience
UIF embeds ESG throughout the lifecycle—stakeholder engagement, inclusion, labor and working conditions, pollution prevention, biodiversity, community health and safety, and cultural heritage. Designs prioritize low‑carbon pathways, climate adaptation, and redundancy for war‑related risks.
10. Risk Management Framework
Risks are identified and mitigated across technical, environmental, social, legal, procurement, schedule, cost, FX, sanctions, and security dimensions. A stage‑gate model ensures risks are actively managed with contingencies and independent review.
11. Implementation Roadmap (2025–2028)
Phase I – Mobilization (0–6 months): framework MoUs with ministries/municipalities; top‑15 quick‑start projects; diaspora roster; publish PPF templates and procurement toolkits.
Phase II – Preparation (6–18 months): feasibility/ESIAs; PPP/DBFM packages; coordinate with DFIs; run transparent tenders.
Phase III – Delivery (18–36 months): construction on priority corridors, grid stabilization, and housing programs; monitoring dashboards; scale‑up lessons.
12. Illustrative Project Pipeline (non‑exhaustive)
- Strategic bridges and rail corridors enabling export and humanitarian access.
• Grid stabilization and distributed renewables to enhance energy security.
• District‑scale housing and social infrastructure (schools, clinics).
• Water treatment modernization and flood defense.
• Fiber backbones and secure municipal data hubs.
13. Impact Measurement & KPIs
Balanced scorecard includes restored service hours; travel‑time savings; MW stabilized/added; GHG emissions avoided; households reconnected; local jobs and SME participation; safety incidents; stakeholder satisfaction; and compliance metrics.
14. Collaboration with Diaspora & International Partners
With diaspora networks, UIF will curate expert rosters for engineering, procurement, legal, compliance, and ESG. Co‑host briefings for municipalities on PPP/DFI pathways and coordinate donor efforts to avoid duplication and accelerate delivery.
