We present you the UNP priorities and Operational Plan for Activities for 2026
The priorities of activity for the Ukrainian National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum (UNP EaP CSF) for 2026 have been determined based on the following Platform documents:
- The Statute of the UNP EaP CSF
- The UNP EaP CSF Strategic Development Plan for 2024–2026
- The UNP EaP CSF Advocacy Strategy for 2024–2026
- The EaP CSF Strategy for 2022–2030
The UNP EaP CSF (hereinafter referred to as the Platform), like Ukrainian society as a whole, is making every effort to ensure Ukraine’s victory in the context of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine by promoting Ukraine’s European integration through the tools of civil society within the framework of the Eastern Partnership (hereinafter referred to as the EaP). The Platform is a network of more than 150 civil society organisations advocating for the interests of Ukrainian society within the framework of the EaP initiative. The strategic goal of the Platform for 2024–2026 is to serve as a network of proactive civil society organisations (CSOs) working together to achieve post-war recovery and to facilitate Ukraine’s accession to the EU. Additionally, four strategic goals of the Platform have been defined for this period:
- advocacy for Ukraine’s EU membership;
- development of proposals for transforming the Eastern Partnership policy;
- enhancing synergies among CSOs to strengthen post-war recovery processes;
- strengthening the capacity of the UNP.
Platform priorities for 2026:
- Advocating for the opening of negotiation clusters.
- Monitoring and supporting European integration processes in Ukraine.
- Taking part in shaping the post-2027 Eastern Partnership policy, advocating for the inclusion of Ukraine’s reconstruction and European integration priorities.
- Advocating for stronger international support for Ukraine, particularly for EU membership in member states.
- Deepening engagement with civil society organisations, government, business, and the expert community to bolster Ukraine’s resilience.
- Building the capacity of civil society organisations and uniting their efforts around UNP to achieve the platform’s strategic goals.
The UNP operational plan was prepared by Ruslan Havryliuk, National Coordinator UNP EaP CSF, and discussed with the UNP members.
