From the Official Website of the European Commission, Press release, Kiev, 13 September 2014(?):
"Commissioner for European
Neighbourhood Policy Štefan Füle and Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy
Yatsenyuk signed a new programme to support civil society in Ukraine.
The new programme, worth €10 million, is designed to enhance the role of civil society in promoting and monitoring democratic reforms and inclusive socio-economic development in Ukraine.
"The
Civil Society plays a key role in the reform process. This financing
agreement will support it in monitoring the reforms and providing the
feedback on them to the Government. The engagement of the Civil Society
is essential if national reforms are to succeed,” Commissioner Š.Füle said after the signature.
The new
program provides direct funding to the Civil Society organizations to
build up their capacity to analyze the reforms and is directly linked to
the State Building Contract worth 355m euro signed in May. The Civil
Society organizations will monitor the reforms agreed under that
Contract, including fight against corruption, constitutional reform and
reform of the judiciary.
The action will be implemented
through calls for proposals for civil society organisations. Training
and advice will also be provided to support the establishment of a
structured dialogue between the authorities and the civil society.
Background
The Special Measures 2014 for
Ukraine, adopted on 29 April 2014, is composed of two actions: a State
Building Contract (€355 million) and Support to Civil Society (€10
million).
The
Civil Society Support Programme will accompany and complement the
support provided to Ukraine under the State Building Contract, to ensure
a credible and effective role of the civil society organisations in
monitoring the stabilisation process and the implementation of key
reforms in the country."
