The major objective of the 2012 call for proposals for Ukraine is to strengthen capacities of non-state actors and local authorities in Ukraine to ensure the delivery of administrative services in a fair, efficient and transparent manner and to promote the involvement of civil society in policy dialogue and reform process in Ukraine.
The thematic programme “Non-State Actors and Local Authorities in Development” (NSA&LA Programme) was incorporated in the year 2007. This programme is an “actor-oriented” programme aimed at strengthening the capacity of civil society organization and local authorities as a pre-condition for a more equitable, open and democratic society through support to these actors’ “own initiatives”. This programme was first introduced to Ukraine in 2011.

• To increase the organizational, technical, advocacy and analytical capacity of civil society organisations to promote the effectiveness of policy dialogue in Ukraine between CSO and the Ukrainian executive bodies
• To support the development of young CSO active in the area of delivery of administrative services to the population in various sectors
• To contribute to the work programme of the Eastern Partnership Platform 1 “Democracy, Good Governance and Stability”, especially public administration reform
• To support the transfer of skills and experiences between CSOs in different countries in modernizing the delivery of administrative services.
