On 30 September, a training session on project implementation under the Interreg NEXT Poland-Ukraine Programme 2021–2027 took place in Lviv. The participants included Ihor Vuytsyk, Chair of the Lviv Chamber of Agriculture, and Anna Kushchak, Deputy Chair.
The aim of the training was to improve skills and knowledge regarding the management of cross-border projects. The Interreg NEXT Poland-Ukraine Programme supports cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian organisations to address common challenges related to economic development, the environment, infrastructure, healthcare and other important areas. This programme provides financial support and expert assistance for projects that promote the development of cross-border cooperation between Poland and Ukraine.
The training covered the following topics:
• project preparation and management;
• project funding;
• reporting requirements;
• monitoring and evaluation;
• cooperation with partners from both countries.
The training was organised for institutions from the Lviv, Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk regions that were successful in the grant competition in 2024. Participants had the opportunity to network, share experiences and receive practical advice from the speakers.
Incidentally, as part of the Interreg NEXT Poland-Ukraine Programme 2021–2027, in collaboration with Polish partners and Lviv University of Natural Resources, will implement the project ‘Protection of biodiversity in cross-border territories of Ukraine and Poland from hogweed populations’ in the Lviv region over the next two years
