I What is the EasternPartnership?

The Eastern Partnership is an EU policy aimed at

bringing our Eastern neighbours closer to the European

Union. The instruments of the Eastern Partnership

are used to help the participating countries with their

transformation. The EUs support for democratic

and economic reforms in the neighbourhood helps to

strengthen stability and prosperity which brings direct

benets to the citizens both in these countries and in the

EU. This support goes not only to the reform efforts of

the governments but is also designed to increase the role

of the civil society which has an important part in the

transformation.

2.3 Eastern Partnership Pilot RegionalDevelopment Programmes (PRDPs)

Pilot Regional Development Programmes havebeen proposed to help partner countries to address

important structural problems such as economic

and social disparities among regions and population

groups (often divided by historical, cultural,

ethnic and religious differences). Such disparities

represent a major obstacle to economic and social

development at the national level. The programmes

are inspired by the EU cohesion policy experience

and will help partner countries to develop or update

and implement regional development strategies

and programmes aimed at reducing disparities and

overcoming structural deciencies.

Education

Civil Society involvement is a condition sine qua

non for the success of our common endeavour, the

Eastern Partnership. This conviction stems from

a deep belief that Civil Society is a fundamental

part of the democratic process. Reforms, which are

necessary to complete the process of transition and

approximation to European standards, cannot be

implemented without the backing of the public.

Therefore I do hope that the Civil Society Forum

will prove to be instrumental in promoting Eastern

Partnership goals in societies and mobilising their

support for reforms.
