Hill worked with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to provide technical assistance for Infrastructure Project Facility 7 (IPF 7) to improve infrastructure across the Western Balkans. This included priority projects in the transportation, environmental, energy, and social infrastructure sectors. Countries that benefited from these projects were Serbia, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. Ultimately, these projects enhanced the quality of life for citizens across the region, generated economic activity among and between Western Balkans, and further integrated local and national economies with the European Union (EU).

Hill’s technical assistance supported the preparation and implementation of IPF 7’s projects, helping the EIB confirm that the investment of European taxpayers was spent efficiently, effectively, and sustainably, and that the projects created added value for all EU members. Specific services included feasibility studies, preliminary and detailed designs, tendering process support, supervision of works, preparatory sector studies, preparation of terms of references, and reporting to the WBIF.
