EBRD to support revival strategy for Ukrainian city of Mariupol

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Mariupol’s authorities on commissioning a ‘Damage, Loss and Needs Assessment Report’.

The report will examine the impact of Russia’s war’s on the city’s infrastructure (public transport, water and sanitation, solid waste management and public lighting) and estimate the financial cost of restoring it.  

The report will form the basis of the city’s Mariupol Revival Strategy, which will include key cost estimates and attract potential investors and donors to rebuild the city after its full liberation.

The port city, part of the Donetsk region, has been severely damaged in Russia’s invasion and a two-month battle for control over Mariupol. It is currently occupied by Russian forces.  

The city’s authorities, who now operate from Ukrainian-controlled territory, do not have the resources to finance or the capacity to implement a project of such complexity, and have sought support from the EBRD.
