This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

In 2013/14 MY Ukraine exported 33 Mt of grain, it was possible due to the
biggest grain harvest Ukraine ever produced – 63.1 Mt. As a result in
2013/14 MY Ukraine became #3 world largest grain exporter following the
USA and EU.
The largest export markets: Middle East, European Union, North Africa and
South-East Asia, CIS, Americas and other countries.
Biggest international companies operating in Ukraine: ABCD (ADM, Bunge,
Cargill, Louis Dreyfus) and Glencore.
Road transport carries 36% in bulk grain transport. The smaller the
distance, the higher share of trucks in grain transport.
Railways are the most important sector in grain transportation to the
seaports. Grain hoppers, with 13,562 units as of August 2014, account for
14% of Ukraine's freight wagon fleet. These grain hoppers are very old, with
an average age of 26 years and 27% of them are older than the 30 year
normative period.
The total capacity of sea grain loading facilities reaches 35 Mt. More than
91% of grain trade in Ukraine goes through seaports. In 2013/14 Ukrainian
ports transshipped 33Mt of grain products out of a total exported.
7. TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO MEET GROWTH OF EXPORT VOLUMES

REFORM TARGET
According to the Ministry of Agrarian policy and Food of Ukraine the
volume of grain export in 2020 will reach 60 Mt. This volume exceeds
transportation capacity of grain in Ukraine.
Ukraine takes 1st place in the world of sunflower oil export. Sunflower oil
production companies are experiencing serious shortage of rail cars for
shipment seed meal. Such conditions lead to the fact that companies are
forced to suspend production of sunflower oil, the situation becomes
threatening.
Ukraine requires significant investments in Infrastructure sector to meet
the growth of agricultural product’s export:
1. Updating rolling stock of grain hoppers and purchasing new freight
wagons.
2. Developing grain loading facilities in seaports. Privatization of state-
owned seaport-operating companies.
3. Development of grain transportation by in-land waterways: repair of
the locks on Dnieper, reconstruction of drawbridges, dredging, and
removal of stone ridge-corner near Dniprodzerzhinsk.
4. Rehabilitation of existing international roadways and construction of
new roads connecting Ukraine with EU (project of road concession Lviv-
Krakovets).

Passenger Transportation in Ukraine
by Mode of Transport, 2014Freight Turnover in Ukraine by Mode of Transport (billion ton-km)
Source: State Statistics Committee of Ukraine
SECTOR INFORMATION
Ukrainian freight turnover volumes have been relatively stable since 2000 at 200-300 billion ton-km (excluding pipe transport),
after a significant drop from around 800 billion ton-km seen at Soviet times. In the years of economic downturn of 2000, 2009, and
2014 the transportation volumes demonstrated contraction with subsequent recovery.
Rail is the primary mode of transportation in Ukraine, accounting for 63% of total freight turnover in 2014. In the passenger
transportation segment, rail accounted for 34% of total turnover, close to automobiles (40%).
10. EU-UKRAINE ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT
10
The EU's relations with Ukraine are governed by the Association Agreement. This Agreement, including a Deep and
Comprehensive Free Trade Area, was negotiated over the period 2007-2011 and initialed in 2012. On 21 March 2014 the EU and
Ukraine signed the political provisions of the Association Agreement, underlining their joint commitment to proceed to the
signature and conclusion of the remaining parts of the Agreement.
Provisional application of important parts of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement began on 1 November 2014, including those
on the respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms and rule of law; political dialogue and reform; justice, freedom and
security; economic and financial cooperation.
EU-Ukraine Aviation Agreement
This agreement is designed to create a "common aviation area" between the EU and Ukraine, based on common standards. It
would offer further commercial opportunities, more direct connections and economic benefits on both sides, while it would bring
regulatory convergence in all aviation fields.
Limitations to weekly flights between Ukraine and the EU would be removed, while free and fair competition would help to
establish market prices for all flights. To attain these objectives, Ukraine would have to align its legislation with EU aviation
standards and enforce EU requirements in areas such as: aviation safety, air traffic management, environment, economic
regulation, competition, consumer protection and social aspects.
Air transport of passengers and cargo between Ukraine and the EU has been growing steadily in recent years and new
investment opportunities for airlines would open up by allowing reciprocal majority ownership, facilitating the development of
airlines and consolidation of the aviation sector. The comprehensive aviation agreement was initialed in November 2013. Since
then it is in the hands of the Council. The Commission urges the signature of the agreement as soon as possible. Following
signature, the ratification process will begin for both EU and Ukraine. Similar comprehensive aviation agreements have already
been signed with other neighboring countries: the Western Balkans, Morocco, Georgia, Jordan, Moldova and Israel.

Strengthening Supervision and Improving
Transparency
The Government is planning to introduce more viable
supervision and management mechanisms for SOEs to
ensure transparency of their operations and the
establishment of strategic business targets.
Enhancing Management
Pursuant to the adoption of the Framework Document
will be the restructuring of the corporate governance
of SOEs, to ensure that SOEs are capable of operating
under market conditions like private companies
without distortion of the competitive environment. As
a result of increased competition, SOEs will have to
ensure that they utilize their assets more responsibly
and rationally.

ACTION PLAN
The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine (MoEDT) has made the reform of SOEs its top priority and is
committed to building a healthy and transparent system that will aim to make Ukraine adherent to OECD Guidelines on Corporate
Governance of SOEs (OECD Guidelines, www.oecd.org/corporate).
13. OBJECTIVES OF THE SOE REFORM
13
Clear Objectives
At present, the majority of SOEs pursue diverse and often conflicting objectives, which results in uncertainty over responsibilities.
Public authorities when exercising their ownership rights have to ensure that all commercial and non-commercial (political and
social) objectives of SOEs are fully transparent and clearly declared. This will help SOEs implement their strategic tasks, while
delivering products and services to citizens meeting the principles of maximum efficiency and the highest standard.
Separation of Commercial and Non-Commercial Functions
OECD Guidelines urge SOEs to define their non-commercial (or social) functions and state them clearly in their statutes. In
addition, enterprises must separate commercial and non-commercial operations in their accounting documents to ensure greater
transparency and simplify financial analysis.
Ownership and Regulatory Policy
SOEs compete with private businesses, hence the Government must adhere strictly to the principle of the separation of
ownership and regulatory functions in setting up their corporate management structures.
Striving for Transparency
When there is little accurate data publicly available, it is difficult to evaluate the work of SOEs and their management bodies as
well as require from them efficient employment of capital and achievement of the set targets. Publicly available information on
the activities of SOEs stimulates responsibility and reduces the risk of corruption.
Enhancing a Healthy Business Environment
Transparent activities of SOEs contribute to the creation of a business-friendly environment which is needed for more foreign
investors to come to Ukraine. Analysis carried out by the World Bank has confirmed that direct foreign investments spur the
development of national economies. Foreign companies often become business catalysts fostering progress of entities with
which they compete directly, as well as related sectors of the economy.

14. FIGHTING AGAINST CORUPTION IN UKRAINE
14
The Anti-Corruption Bureau is the Ukrainian Government Anti-corruption agency which investigates corruption in Ukraine and
prepares cases for prosecution. It was established in 2014 after its predecessor, the National Anti-Corruption Committee. The
agency is set to employ 700 people and be fully functioning by October 2015.
The newly-adopted law "On Amendments to Some Laws of Ukraine on Access to Public Information in the Form of Open Data"
will bring in more transparency and efficiency, while stimulating a start-up, entrepreneurial spirit. The launch of the open data
environment in Ukraine will create additional opportunities for democratic control over authorities, tackling corruption, well-
informed citizen participation in decision-making, and enhanced and friendly public services.
According to the Law about the access to public information in the form of open data, the Ministry of Infrastructure has launched
a new website http://new.mtu.gov.ua in the beta version, where financial information of the companies subordinate to the
Ministry is available. This website supports “two clicks” rule.
Initiative "Electronic Government"
Implementation of the model of public administration, which is based on the use of modern information and communication
technologies to improve the efficiency and transparency of government, as well as establishing public control over it.
Aiming to spend taxpayers’ money transparently and efficiently the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine encourages its affiliated
companies to use digital state procurement system ProZorro, that was launched in Ukraine due to the initiative of civil activists
and the support of Administration of the President and Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.
All state companies that fall under Ministry of Infrastructure management are instructed to hold all state procurement and
identifying the winner of the tender with online-streaming.
The program CoST (Initiative of transparency in the construction sector)
The World Bank initiated Ukraine's accession to the international program (CoST). 6 November, 2013 Ukravtodor officially joined
the international program CoST.
Implementation of the program CoST in Ukraine envisages a number of measures to improve transparency in the construction
industry in Ukraine, namely disclosure of the planned projects, international bidding procedures and other government
procurement projects and support full transparency of information on the whole cycle of the project. The pilot project for the
implementation of the program CoST in Ukraine will be two joint projects with the World Bank: "The project to improve roads
and traffic safety" and “The second project to improve roads and safety.“
The official announcement of accession to the international program Ukravtodor CoST posted on the official website of the
program CoST (http://www.constructiontransparency.org).
15. COOPERATION WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
15
EUROPIAN COMMISSION
European Commission announced a large support package for Ukraine to help stabilize the economic and financial situation of the
country. All the measures combined could bring overall support of €11 billion over the next seven years from the EU budget and
the international financial institutions, including up to €1.4 billion of bilateral grants.
WORLD BANK
World Bank announced that the Bank is ready to commit up to $2 billion in 2015 for projects in Ukraine.
It is expected that credit resources of the World Bank will be used for budget support, assistance in reforms implementation,
especially in energy and banking sector, as well as for fighting corruption, improving standards in health and public infrastructure,
supporting most vulnerable and improving governance and business environment.
The World Bank financing will be part of the overall international assistance package to Ukraine that will include new credit
arrangement with the IMF and financial assistance from other donors.
EBRD
Through the history of EBRD operations in Ukraine it has provided loans worth €10 billion in total, and it continues to invest about
€1 billion per year. The bank plans to increase the volume of investments in Ukraine and to expand its operations in Ukraine.
EIB
The European Investment Bank (EIB) may provide a loan of EUR 150 million for modernization of approximately 250 kilometers of
railways in the southern regions of Ukraine.
The project aims to improve Ukraine's transport infrastructure and promote sustainable transport. The total cost of the project is
EUR 350 million.

16. III. SECTORS OF TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUSTURE WITH
POTENTIAL OF DEVELOPMENT
16
18. SEAPORTS IN UKRAINE: OVERVIEW
18
SECTOR INFORMATION
Ukraine has 13 seaports with the total handling capacity of
149 Mt of mixed and bulk cargoes, 42 Mt of liquid cargoes,
40 Mt of container cargoes (3.5 million twenty-foot
equivalent units), and 1 million passengers.
In 2014, Ukrainian seaports handled 143 Mt of cargoes, up
from 137 Mt in 2013 (both figures exclude Crimean ports).
The share of exports increased from 68% in 2013 to 72% in
2014.
The largest seaports are Odesa, Illichivsk and Yuzhny, all
located in Odesa region (the north-western part of the Black
Sea). In 2014, they accounted for 63% of Ukraine’s total
seaport cargo turnover.
In the Azov Sea region, Ukraine has two seaports, Mariupol
and Berdyansk.
Three other seaports (Mykolayiv, Kherson and smaller
Oktyabrsk) are located at the estuaries of the Dnieper and
Pivdenniy Buh rivers.
Five seaports located in annexed Crimea are much smaller
compared to those in mainland Ukraine. In 2013, they
accounted for a mere 5% of total freight turnover at
Ukrainian seaports.
Map of Ukrainian Sea Ports
GROWTH DRIVERS
Grain export is expected to grow from 33Mt to 60Mt in five
year perspectives and requires to increase capacities of
national seaports.
National strategy for diversification of energy sources
includes construction of import facilities for LNG and coal.
Transit traffic from Baltic ports to Black seaports has
significant potential for growth.
REFORM FOCUS
Privatization of state-owned seaport operating companies
located at 13 seaports in Ukraine.
19. SEAPORTS: SECTOR STRUCTURE
19
SECTOR STRUCTURE
In 2013, domestic port management system was
transformed to separate administrative and commercial
functions at seaports.
The Ukrainian Seaports Administration (USPA), a newly
established governing body, took control of the seaports’
strategic infrastructure, namely the water zone, coast-
protecting structures, berths, and general-use infrastructure
(access roads and utility connections).
State-owned seaports operating companies use USPA
berths for their operations and own infrastructure required
for stevedoring operations (buildings, vessels, handling
equipment, etc.). The port infrastructure is aged and needs
renovation (depreciation rate estimated at 80%).
As of 2014, state seaports operating companies employed
about 20,000 people.
The state-owned seaports operating companies compete
with private stevedores. The share of state-owned
stevedoring companies in total freight transshipment went
down from 100% in 1991 to 34% in 2014.
Freight Turnover at Ukrainian Ports by Berth Ownership
and Product Type
State-owned seaports operating companies primarily
transship ore (36% of total volume in 2014), metals (20%)
and coal (14%), while grain accounted for only 9%. Grain is
mostly handled by private seaport operating companies.

22. IN-LAND WATERWAYS IN UKRAINE
22
River ports on Dnieper river in UkraineSECTOR INFORMATION
Ukraine has a great untapped potential in transporting of
grain by river. The main river of Ukraine – Dnieper, runs just
in the middle of the territory from North to South, the delta
of Dnieper provides convenient access to the largest
seaports of Ukraine.
Besides Dnieper there are several rivers suitable for
navigation in Ukraine: Danube, Southern Bug and Dniester.
The length of the Dnieper from Kyiv to the river mouth is
867 km. There are 10 river ports on the Ukrainian part of the
Dnieper.
There are six locks and six reservoirs located on the Dnieper.
Locks are outdated, which decreases the traffic intensity and
increases transportation costs. Locks were not capitally
repaired since construction.
There are there drawbridges on Dnieper that impose
limitations for river navigation: in Dnipropetrovsk and
Kremenchuk, the height of fairway arches is 8.5 and 9.6 m
respectively. The height of fairway arches of Kherson bridge
is 17.2 meters.
Depth of the Dnieper River is the another limiting factor for
goods transportation. The allowed draft of vessels on
Dnieper is 3.65 m lower from Dnipropetrovsk and limited to
3m in the upper part of the river. Draft of Kiev reservoir is
limited to 2.65m. Stone ridge-corner near Dniprodzerzhinsk
and shallow river depth near Kaniv limit the draft to 3
meters.
REFORM TARGETS
Develop inner waterways system in order to reduce the
burden on the automobile roads and increase capacity of
freight turnover.
Repair of the locks on Dnieper, reconstruction of drawbridges,
dredging and removal of stone ridge-corner near
Dniprodzerzhinsk.

and 6th in Europe (excl. Russia), though its rail density is 2-3
times smaller than in the EU.
4 of 10 pan-European transport corridors cross Ukraine.
The domestic rail network forms a key link between the EU
and Russia and Central Asia.
Ukraine is the largest market in Europe (excl. Russia) and
second largest in the CIS in terms of rail freight turnover.
The country ranks 2nd in the CIS and 4th in Europe in terms
of passenger transportation. Some 47% of Ukraine’s rail
tracks are electrified, compared to 51% in Russia, 47% in
China, 29% in India and 16% in Belarus.
Ukraine operates a large railcar fleet totaling almost
175,000 freight and 5,300 passenger cars (3,160 passenger
cars are currently operating), powered by over 4,000
locomotives (50% diesel and 50% electric).

25. UKRZALIZNITSA: GENERAL INFORMATION
25
GENERAL INFORMATION
State-owned rail monopoly Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ) operates 6
state regional railway companies and close to 140 other
subsidiaries with around 350,000 employees.
The domestic rail network is a strategic asset and a key
transport link for Ukraine between the EU and Russia and
Central Asia (4 out of 10 pan-European transport corridors cross
Ukraine).
UZ operates 21,600 km of rail tracks (47 % electrified) and a
fleet of 4,000 locomotives and 123,000 railcars. It accounts for
c. 63 % of total freight transportation and 34 % of passenger
transportation in Ukraine, ranking first in Europe (ex-Russia) on
freight turnover.
UZ provides second highest turnover by passenger
transportation in the CIS and #4 in Europe. Metal and mining
goods accounted for 58 % of its 2014 freight transportation in
volume terms, followed by construction materials (15 %) and
grain (8 %).
With over 350,000 employees, UZ is one of the largest
employers in Ukraine. The Government plans to corporatize UZ
this year but does not have any immediate plans for
privatization.
REFORM TARGET
Complete incorporation, centralize and streamline the legal
structure (especially regional subsidiaries) and consolidate cash
flows; continue with management overhaul.
Improve transparency of procurement tenders.
Develop a feasible program for financing renovation of rail
infrastructure and rolling stock in view of the latter’s wear rates
of 80-90 % and the average service life of operating electric
locomotives of up to 40 years.
Optimize costs, including through divestment of noncore
assets such as, for example, UZ’s more than 90 hospitals and
human resource reform.
Simplify the freight tariff system (e.g. using cost-plus method).
Foster competition with private freight operators.
Work on a debt management strategy.
26. UKRZALIZNITSA: OPERATING SUMMARY
26
OPERATING SUMMARY FOR 2014 AND 2013
Domestic economic weakness and the military conflict in the
East caused a decline in freight and passenger transportation in
2014.
The freight volumes decreased from 224 to 211 billion ton-km
and the passenger volumes from 49 to 37 billon passenger-km
in 2014 compared to 2013.
Some increase in tariffs (in UAH) compensated decrease in
volumes, and nominal sales of 2014 remained almost at the
level of 2013 (around UAH 50 bn).
Freight revenue comprise around 80% of the company’s
revenue with passengers account for 20%.
Following almost 3 times devaluation of Ukrainian currency in
2014 (from 8 to 24 UAH/USD), the company reported heavy
losses due to revaluation of debt denominated in foreign
currency (75% of the company’s debt is nominated in USD and
EUR).

CURRENT SITUATION
High depreciation of railcars and locomotives (about 90%)
accompanied with the rapid decline in their total amount.
Average age of railcars and locomotives is far above their
normative threshold (see table below). Appx. 40-60% are still used
after normative age expiration.
In 3 years more than 85% of current rolling stock will be in
violation with international technical requirements, and could be
suspended.

29. RAILCAR AND LOCOMOTIVE MARKET IN UKRAINE
29
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ukraine operates a sizable rolling stock consisting of almost
200,000 freight cars, 5,300 passenger cars (3,160 operating)
and over 4,000 locomotives (split equally between diesel
and electric vehicles). According to the Ministry of
Infrastructure estimates, the fleet’s wear rates range from 80
to 90%.
Railcar producers were able to preserve production of
freight cars at minimum levels from a project to modernize
metro cars and the purchase of a speed train for state rail
monopoly Ukrzaliznytsia.
Although many Ukrainian railcar and locomotive producers
are already privatized, the industry remains of significant
importance for the state. Rail monopoly Ukrzaliznytsia is a
key customer of the railcar and locomotive manufacturers.

31. ROADS IN UKRAINE
31
SECTOR INFORMATION
Ukraine has significant potential for motorway development
due to its location on the intersection of multiple transport
corridors, namely Berlin (Dresden)-Wroclaw-Lviv-Kyiv; Trieste-
Ljubljana-Budapest (Bratislava)-Lviv; and Helsinki-St. Petersburg
(Moscow)-Kyiv- Chisinau (Odesa)-Bucharest-Dimitrovgrad-
Alexandropoulos.
The existing road network in Ukraine requires substantial
modernization. The total length of domestic roads remained
unchanged over the last 15 years at 169,600 km, with 30%
classified as roads of state importance. Such roads have a higher
standard rate of expenditure for road maintenance of UAH
$2,700/km vs. $1,200/km for regional roads, largely because of
intensive freight transport.
In 2013, road transportation had a 74% share of total freight
transportation in Ukraine in tonnage terms. On average, a ton of
freight was transported to a distance of 47 km in 2013, versus 21
km in 2000.
In Ukraine, road construction and repairs are managed by
Ukravtodor, a state agency subordinate to the Cabinet of
Ministers through the Ministry of Infrastructure.

35
GENERAL INFORMATION
Municipal transport in Ukraine includes: buses, mini buses,
trolleybuses, trams and subway.
Ukraine has well developed municipal transportation system
in big cities. However urban transport is worn out, have not
been updated for many years, the roads inside the cities are in
poor condition.
The most difficult situation is in electric transport segment –
trams. While there were some replenishments of trolleybuses
and buses, the trams have exhausted their resources, but
continue to operate.
REFORM TARGET
Decentralization, transfer of power and budgets to the local
cities and region administrations to fund municipal transport
projects.
Attract private capital to invest in projects to upgrade rolling
stock, construction of road infrastructure (roads, interchanges,
bridges, tunnels, parking lots, replacement of lighting to energy
efficient).
COOPERATION WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS
The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine recognizes regional
transportation issues and its committed to develop a
regional transportation model defining the needs for
replacement of trolleybuses and trams by expanding the
transport model created for Kiev to the other regions and
cities to identify the need and attract funding from IFIs.
