The role holder will provide high quality, expert advice to ensure that best practices are applied across all SIG sectors and that relevant processes for project preparation are developed, continuously improved and adapted to reflect the Bank's policies. The role holder will oversee the use of consultants as a strategic resource to leverage the capacity of PPI and SIG, including the management of consultancy frameworks.

These projects are carried out across all countries of operation of the Bank, supported by a similar number of project preparation consultancy assignments each year. There is recognition that much of the explanation for the lack of sufficient infrastructure investment is not due to a dearth of finance, but is due rather to limited project preparation capacity internationally to procure and deliver these often-complex projects effectively. Given the above, one key element that EBRD believes to be critical is an efficient delivery mechanism for project preparation to improve efficiency, quality and replicability of infrastructure projects for the benefit of its clients.The Ukraine FIRST Project Preparation Facility (PPF) aims to foster economies of scale and standardisation of practices, facilitating coordination among multiple stakeholders by Ukrainian authorities and donors.
