Cooperation between stakeholders responsible for sustainable trade routes and logistics concepts has been strengthened in the countries of the EaP.

The project targets closer economic integration of Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries with each other and the EU, leveraging strengthened cooperation among key stakeholders in trade routes and logistics. The approach is built on enhancing digital and sustainable practices within the transport and logistics sectors, aligning with EU standards and fostering regional collaboration. The project focuses on strengthening the capacities of ministries and institutions to develop strategies for reducing transport-induced CO2 emissions. Additionally, it supports implementing digital border management systems to border agencies in EaP and preparing the relevant stakeholders to complete in-service digital border process training sessions. The focus is on fostering competence development in SMEs within the logistics and transport sector, targeting digital and sustainable transformation.
