The overall objective of the Project is to enhance the capacity of the Ukrainian public administration to effectively manage the EU accession process and implement the reforms necessary to meet EU membership requirements.

Natolin4Capacity Building Phase II project builds upon the experience and success of the Natolin4Capacity Building (N4CB) project, implemented in 2020–2024 to support the public administration of Ukraine in implementing comprehensive reforms and the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement (AA) as well as candidate status.

New project capitalizes on the achievement and deliverables of the N4CB with an updated educational offer, including onsite sessions in Poland and Ukraine, Training of Trainers modules and additional e-learning modules. The implementation will refer to the Brand and Visibility for EU Actions in Ukraine manual recommended by the EU Delegation in Ukraine and in accordance with Communication and Visibility Requirements for EU External Actions.
