    Promoter – Financial Intermediary

    KP KHARKIVSKY METROPOLITEN

    Location

    Description

    Extension of the Kharkiv metro system in Ukraine. The loan would finance the construction of a 3.5 km metro extension towards Odeska. This will be complemented by two new stations, a depot, and purchase of new rolling stock.

    Objectives

    The project will improve public transport in Kharkiv by extending the metro network, and making it more attractive for commuters. Consequently, it is expected that the investment will result in a modal shift away from private car use, thus reducing the negative impact of car transport on the environment.

    Environmental aspects

    The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that all components of the project comply with EIB environmental and social standards. If situated in the EU, the project would fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive and would be subject to screening. For this purpose, a technical assistance project was put in place in 2016, which produced an environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) that includes an environmental and social action plan and a stakeholders engagement plan. Furthermore, a resettlement action plan is being prepared, as the project may require resettlement of some households and businesses. The resettlement plan and plans for scrapping old carriages (if any) will be verified during appraisal.

    Procurement

    The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that implementation of the project will be done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
