[Closed Event, by invitation only]
This workshop aims to support Ukraine’s transport sector recovery by addressing both immediate reconstruction needs and longer-term modernisation goals, the two pillars of the ITF’s CIG4U Initiative. The Immediate Recovery Coordination Session will focus on strategic dialogue and collaboration to address urgent transport sector priorities, with particular attention to mobilising support through the Ukraine Transport Support Fund. The Pathway Dissemination Sessions will focus on presenting actionable recovery and modernisation pathways for Ukraine’s surface passenger transport, waterborne transport and aviation sectors. By engaging policymakers, experts and international partners, the event seeks to ensure that short-term reconstruction measures are aligned with long-term structural reform, sustainability objectives and integration with European Union standards.
The workshop gathers Ukrainian authorities, EU institutions, international financial institutions, development partners and other stakeholders to address four priorities:
1. Immediate Needs Coordination – Strengthening international support for Ukraine’s urgent transport recovery needs through the Ukraine Transport Support Fund and related coordination efforts.
2. Surface Passenger Transport Recovery – Restoring essential inter-urban and regional services, rehabilitating infrastructure and rolling stock, and improving safety, service provision and sustainability.
3. Waterborne Transport Recovery – Rehabilitating ports, inland waterways and logistics facilities, securing export corridors, and reinforcing multimodal links with European networks.
4. Aviation Recovery and EU Alignment – Supporting the phased reopening and reconstruction of airports and air navigation services in line with European safety, security and regulatory standards.
