  1. ENP in Ukraine:what lessons learned can be useful for WEI Victor Liakh, East Europe Foundation Date

  2. Ukraine: setting the scene • Freest country in CIS (2008) • Highest level of corruption in CIS (2008) • Uneasy Russia-Ukraine relations • Rapid development of civil society for recent decade • Political clinch between powers • Presidential elections in 2010 • Euro 2012 Cup

  3. Ukraine-EU cooperation: ENPI mechanism • NATIONAL INDICATIVE PROGRAMME 2007-2010 • Main channel of EU support for Ukraine for 2007-2010 with budget of € 494 M • Support is provided through other EC programmes and agencies, (e.g. TEMPUS, Erasmus Mundus) • Two additional mechanisms: the Neighborhood Infrastructure Facility and the Governance Facility

  4. Challenges for ENP implementation • Policy objectives are too wide; too vague to be measured • Low involvement of stakeholder in ENP elaboration • Contradiction between a tradition of a highly institutionalized process and weak institutionalization of the implementation • Limited opportunities for NGOs to participate at the Program

  5. WE: lessons learned from ENP in Ukraine • Formulate concrete “traceable” objectives • Involve stakeholders in the WEI target countries and abroad into the formulation of the WEI objectives and actions; approaches to implementation of the WEI • Facilitate exchanges between Finnish partners and partners in WEI target countries • Coordinate efforts with other donors • Explore role of private sector in some program areas
