Description
Objectives

Construction and operation of switching and transmission components to extend the fixed line telephone network to rural areas.

To improve the social and economic situation in rural areas in order to stop the current trend of rural population migrating to urban and sub-urban areas by extending the rural network to poorly served areas.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

The entire project concerns mainly occupied areas or roads, hence no significant negative impact is expected. The Bank will review during its due diligence potential critical elements and will assess its compliance with EU environmental standards and policies.

All project items earmarked for EIB financing have been internationally tendered including publication in the OJEU.
