ITA Coordination
In accordance with the objectives of the Paris Declaration on Improving the Effectiveness of External Assistance, to which Ukraine has acceded pursuant to Presidential Decree of 19 April 2007 № 325 “On Ukraine's Accession to the Paris Declaration on Improving the Effectiveness of Foreign Aid”, the partner country undertakes to take the lead in coordinating international assistance and other resources for development at all levels during the dialogue with the donor countries.
In 2020, at the initiative of the Government of Ukraine, the Directorate for Coordination of International Technical Assistance under the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was established, which presents an opportunity for a more coordinated cooperation between the Government of Ukraine and development partners.
As a result of consultations between representatives of the Government and development partners, it was decided to improve the existing architecture of coordination of international technical assistance attraction, in order to identify and implement the key development priorities of Ukraine.
The coordination structure consists of the three interrelated tiers:
Development Partnership Forum
The Forum is established for high level policy dialogue on strategic issues of the national reforms progress.
Strategic Platform
The Platform is established for strategic coordination of international technical assistance (ITA) with the national reform priorities taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals and the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement.
Sectoral Working Groups
