The purpose of the survey was to assess how effectively the countries of the Eastern Partnership manage technical assistance rendered by the EU. This purpose was divided into the three objectives, which cover broadly the stages of provision of the EU assistance to an Eastern partner country. The research team presented the first aggregated survey findings to a seminar “Effective management of the EU assistance by recipient governments of Eastern Partnership countries” in June 2012 in Tbilisi, where the representatives of EaP governments, the EU and individual experts reflected on survey results against the background of experience accumulated under the ENPI since 2007, new policy challenges (AA, DCFTA) and the related new assistance tools such as CIB, as well as the upcoming changes to the Union assistance framework.
