WESTERN BALKANS – The Safe and Sustainable Transport Programme (SSTP) supports Western Balkan economies in delivering safer, cleaner, smarter, and more resilient transport systems by blending EU grants with World Bank financing to scale up practical investments and policy reforms across all transport modes.
Two new calls for proposals have been launched:
- 1st Green Lanes Call for Proposals – SSTP provides an opportunity to finance the necessary infrastructure, equipment, systems, and soft
measures required to enhance the efficiency of the 11 priority BCPs/CCPs on the Western Balkans partners’ side. - 4th SSTP General Call for Proposals – Under this programme, designed in close cooperation with the Transport Community Permanent
Secretariat, funds are to be operationalised as grants matching WB lending under ongoing or pipeline projects.
Hosted by the World Bank’s Europe and Central Asia Transport Global Practice, SSTP blends European Union grants from the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) with World Bank investment financing to deliver high-impact investments aligned with the EU Green Agenda and the EU transport acquis.
SSTP works in close partnership with the European Commission (DG ENEST), the Permanent Secretariat of the Transport Community, EU Delegations, and Western Balkan line ministries and ministries of finance. Together, these partners design and implement investments and policy measures that reduce road fatalities and injuries, cut emissions and noise, improve connectivity and logistics performance, and advance digitalisation and alternative fuels across all modes of transport.
