EaP CSF - Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum

The Eastern Partnership (EaP) is a policy initiative that aims to bring the six Eastern neighbours – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine – closer to the EU.  It represents the Eastern dimension of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) reviewed in 2015 and strengthens bilateral relations between the EU and its partners.

EU Member States and EaP Partner countries share a view that the EaP should to focus on delivering tangible results to citizens. In response, the European Commission and the European External Action Service identified a set of 20 deliverables for 2020, first published in December 2016, which aim to deliver concrete results and step up actions in four key priority areas:

-economic development and market opportunities;
-strengthening institutions and good governance;
-connectivity, energy efficiency, environment and climate change;
-mobility and people-to-people contacts.
