The project supports the identification of, and assists in addressing the gaps in the implementation of the national reforms approximating the Ukrainian border management system to the standards and best practices of the EU Integrated Border Management (IBM) in line with the national IBM Strategy of Ukraine adopted on 24 July 2019. The project strongly promotes inter-agency cooperation and coordination among IBM agencies, fosters more effective mechanisms for engagement and two-way communication with the public, and encourages measures to counter corruption in the long run.
Through this project, EU continues its coherent support to Ukraine to enable border management agencies on the national and cross-border levels to offer better service delivery to people, promote regional cooperation, cross-border trade, development and human contact as well as to help Ukrainian citizens and companies benefit from increased mobility and integration into the world economic flows while ensuring a high level of security and prevention of cross-border crime.
