Modernization of the Border Crossing Points - USAID Economic Resilience Activity

USAID Economic Resilience Activity (ERA) work on Border Crossing Points (BCPs)

Updated: January 9, 2025

Between 2023 and 2026, USAID, through Economic Resilience Activity (ERA), is dedicating $115 million to support the Government of Ukraine. This support includes the Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine, the State Customs Service, and Ukrainian Railways to upgrade 42 of Ukraine’s border crossing points (BCPs).

ERA is working closely with partners in the Ukrainian government, the World Bank, and the European Union’s Cohesion Fund – Connecting Europe Facility to implement these improvements. To date, ERA has delivered $2 million in rapid upgrades and equipment at 29 BCPs and procured an additional $15 million that is not yet fully delivered. This included prefabricated buildings, lighting, and information and communication technologies equipment for cargo processing to improve export volumes. The design process for major construction is underway at all priority BCPs.

ERA is Providing:

Rapid upgrades, including: (1) prefabricated structures (prefabs), traffic tools, trash bins, signs, and commodity scales; and (2) civil engineering works, including: pavement and road marking, painting, and curb repair.
Equipment, including handheld backscatters, vehicle dynamic scales, mobile scanners, and a traffic management system (at Yahodyn road BCP as a pilot).
Architecture and Engineering design services, including feasibility studies, review of existing designs, and new designs, and construction site supervision.
Major construction works, including re/construction of new buildings and terminals, major changes to roadwork to improve traffic capacity, and designs for installation of major equipment procurements.
