    Objectives

    Restructuring of the schools estate in Cyprus through new construction, extension and rehabilitation of infrastructure located all over the country.

    The project will contribute to human capital formation and hence the knowledge economy on Cyprus. The project reinforces the human capital stock of a Member State, making it eligible under Article 309 of the EU Treaty, point (c) Common Interest.

    Environmental aspects
    Procurement

    Schools are not specifically mentioned in the EIA Directive on Environmental Impact Assessment, though the project is covered by Annex II of the Directive in relation to urban development. The Bank’s services will verify during appraisal the EIA screening decision taken by the Competent Authority.

    The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that all relevant contracts for the implementation of the project have been or shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant EU procurement legislation.
