Insatsen är indelat i tre komponenter med det övergripande målet att stärka Ukrainas förmåga att hantera offentliga medel och privat kapital. Målet är att bidra till ökad effektivitet, förutsägbarhet och transparens i ukrainska ekonomiska flöden med syfte att öka den ekonomiska tillväxten och sociala stabiliteten och samtidigt minska fattigdom.

I den första komponenten (”Makroekonomisk stabilitet”) är landets centralbank, National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), den huvudsakliga motparten.

Ytterligare aktiviteter inom komponent 1 syftar på att stärka andra relevanta institutioner som exempelvis finansdepartementet, samt - och utbildningsverksamhet för den privata sektorn och allmänheten.

I den andra komponenten (”Offentlig finansförvaltning”) är huvudintressenterna personal på mellannivå inom nyckelutgiftsenheter, samt provinsiella och regionala förvaltningar med ansvar för implementering av statsbudgeten. Genom utbildning, kapacitetsutveckling och utveckling av ett kompetensnätverk kan insatsen ha en positiv inverkan på hela stadsbudgetens effektivitet och ändamålsenlighet.

Den tredje komponenten (”Supportfunktion för ekonomisk reform”) innebär KSE-finansiering för stöd till forskning och annan verksamhet som rundabordssamtal, evenemang och konferenser som fungerar som stöd för de första två komponenterna. Syftet är att ha en begränsad, flexibel facilitet som kan användas vid behov efter godkännande av ambassaden.
