Objectives

The project aims to improve the professional skills and ENP-specific knowledge of relevant staff from within the civil service and public administrations of ENP partner countries in order to enable to them to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the European Neighbourhood Policy, as well as other relevant EU policies. The project is designed to improve the effectiveness of policies and the relationship between the EU and the neighbourhood countries, and to help deepen political dialogue and cooperation with each of the neighbours.

What Does It Do

Managed by the College of Europe, the project proposes tailor-made training on ENP policy, its regional aspects and specificities in the south, east and at interregional level as well as critical issues of policy importance (e.g. environment, agriculture, energy and trade, improving contacts between people, etc.). In addition, trainings provide intensive grounding in the operation, role and functions of EU institutions as well as insights into major areas of internal EU policies and how they impact upon the European Union’s external relations (i.e. external dimension of internal EU policies).
