Abstract

The Twinning instrument in Ukraine, while being generally effective, has punched below its weight due to systemic weaknesses in its internal setup and a number of threats emanating from the domestic situation in Ukraine and the EU itself. In addition to the recent Twinning reform introduced by the European Commission, the Twinning instrument in Ukraine and the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region more generally can be improved further through enhanced flexibility, more targeted interventions, stronger individual and sectoral incentives for the beneficiary institution, and greater visibility.
