Best European Practices for Ukraine


The Polish-Ukrainian Cooperation Foundation – PAUCI — was established in April 2005 as a legacy organization to the Poland-America-Ukraine Cooperation Initiative. Since 1999, this Initiative served as a unique tri-lateral program aimed at sharing best practices of Poland's successful transition from a centrally planned economy to a liberal, market-oriented democracy.

The mission of this new foundation is to build the capacity of Ukraine to integrate more closely with the European Union and NATO through the application of Polish and European experience — an organization that facilitates extensive cross-border dissemination of knowledge and experience in key areas that impact human capital and civil society. The foundation also aims to involve Ukraine in the active support of democratic processes in the region — Belarus, Moldova, Russia and other countries on the post-Soviet space.
 
PAUCI Key Focus Areas:
Ø      Advocacy for closer integration with Euro-Atlantic structures
Ø      Administrative and local government reform
Ø      International and EU business standards
Ø      Ethical standards in public life
Ø      Youth empowerment
 
PAUCI achieves its aims through a combination of grant-making programs for Polish and Ukrainian NGOs and its own implementation activities.
