Background Information:
We are the EU Project "Support to the implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement", with the
short name 'Association4U'. The Project is funded by the EU and implemented together with its key
beneficiary, the Government Office for European Integration (GOEI) and the Line Ministries, involved in the
AA Implementation. The main objective of the Project is to enhance the capacities and performance of
Ukraine’s governmental institutions to effectively implement their commitments within the Association
Agreement.
The purpose of the ‘Fellowship Programme’ is to mobilise expertise and reinforce the national capacity for
the implementation of the AA/DCFTA’ by creating a new generation of experts and technical support in policy
making processes, legal approximation, sectoral policies and translation of important documents related to
the implementation of the AA/DCFTA. The Fellowship Programme is expected to expand and complement
existing capacities in line Ministries and executive institutions, to build the level of support outside
government. The Fellows will contribute to the sustained and effective implementation of the AA/DCFTA
through training, coaching and technical expertise.
Our Fellowship Programme is a good opportunity for Senior and Associate level Fellows to work in close
cooperation with the GOEI and line ministries, to assist them in their tasks related to the
implementation of the AA/DCFTA. For Junior Fellows, this programme will provide the opportunity
for developing an in-depth understanding of the processes and expertise related to the AA/DCFTA.
For the GOEI and line ministries, this programme will generate additional human resources for the
implementation of their tasks related to the AA/DCFTA.
