Consulting engineer Aecom has formalised a partnership with the government of Ukraine to provide programme management and technical advisory support for the reconstruction of the war-torn country.

Aecom has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ukraine’s Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development, to serve as its reconstruction delivery partner.

The consultant will assist the ministry with the design and establishment of an overall program management approach to aid in the efficient delivery of a wide range of interdependent reconstruction projects.

It will also provide infrastructure advisory support with the goal of creating opportunity for public and private investors to participate in the future reconstruction of Ukraine’s infrastructure.

Aecom has also announced that it has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Ukraine’s State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure to advance preliminary integrated cost estimating and other engineering support for many of the country’s complex and critical infrastructure projects.

Troy Rudd, Aecom’s chief executive officer, said, “The reconstruction of Ukraine is one of the world’s greatest humanitarian and infrastructure priorities, and we are honoured to partner with Deputy Prime Minister Kubrakov and the Ukrainian government to help position this effort to successfully deliver on their long-term recovery ambitions.”
