Activity under preparation Supporting Health Resilience in the Eastern Partnership The Action¿s Overall Objective is that health systems in Eastern Partnership countries are more interconnected and resilient to health emergencies and core health challenges. The Action will ensure that lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and the response to the health emergency consequences of the Russian aggression towards Ukraine are consistently applied region-wide, by creating the Eastern Partnership ¿Community of Practitioners and Policy Makers in Health Resilience¿ (or ¿Community of Practitioners") ¿ a venue for relevant health actors to meet and collectively advance the health resilience of the region. The ¿Community of Practitioners¿ will address common challenges through dedicated regional sub-groups including on health preparedness, mental health burden and health workforce imbalances. &nbsp;&nbsp;The ¿Community of Practitioners¿ will link existing entities and focus on strengthening their institutional and operational capacities to ensure sustainability and enhance detection, prevention, and response to eventual health related disasters. The action foresees the evaluation of threats, mapping of the countries¿ capacities and defining recommendations in all three areas.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Action will further enhance the compliance of the Eastern Partnership countries with the International Health Regulations and achieve synergies with global health initiatives, such as the World Health Organisation's Universal Health Coverage Partnership, which the European Commission supports as means to reduce inequalities worldwide.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By supporting health systems that are effective, resilient and accessible the Action will directly contribute to the ambition of the EU¿s Global Health Strategy launched on 30th November 2022 and thereby support EU¿s leadership in global health. The Action will compliment ongoing regional and bi-lateral programmes, such as the EU4Health Programme, in particular the activities where Eastern Partnership countries are eligible to participate and the ones relevant to the objectives of this Action.&nbsp;

EU Support to Cybersecurity Capacity Building in the Western Balkans - 2022 (2021-2022MCP) - amendment The EU is committed to support increased resilience of the Western Balkans to cyber threats as a strategic geopolitical investment including in view of the European perspective of the region. An investment in the region¿s cyber resilience and support to EU alignment is key to ensure the stability of IPA III beneficiaries and ensure trustworthy and reliable services and digital tools for citizens and businesses.&nbsp;The global cyber threat landscape has further been aggravated by Russia¿s war of aggression against Ukraine, with direct impacts for the EU and its neighbours. The cyber threats arising from the war underline the need to boost sharing of information and expertise between the EU and the Western Balkans and across cybersecurity communities, including in view of hybrid threats.&nbsp;The overall objective of this action is to enhance cyber resilience of the Western Balkans through regional cooperation and specific, beneficiary-targeted capacity building activities. Cybersecurity capacity building is identified as a priority in the IPA III Programming Framework Window 1 Thematic Priority 3. Direct institutional and operational gaps in cyber prevention, preparedness and response will be targeted. The action will facilitate EU engagement on cybersecurity with the region. The EU¿s approach to cybersecurity capacity building in the Western Balkans uses a right-based and whole-of-government approach to strengthen prevention, preparedness, and resilience to cyber threats with a strong focus on institution-building.&nbsp;The action is developed in support of the Enlargement strategy[1] and complements foreseen EU crisis response support to Albania, Montenegro and North Macedonia as well as on-going support to cybercrime capacity.

Individual measure to strengthen border management capacities in favour of the Western Balkans - IM2022 Supporting the capacities of the Western Balkans to effectively manage their borders, safeguard security, reduce cross-border crime and tackle irregular migration are key priorities given both the geographical location of the region vis-à-vis the European Union (EU), as well as the region's European perspective. In support of the 2021 Communication on EU Enlargement Policy and in line with the IPA III Programming Framework, this Action aims to contribute to further strengthening the capacities of the Western Balkan beneficiaries to implement Integrated Border Management (IBM) that is aligned with EU standards and the Schengen acquis. The Action further contributes to strengthening the operationalisation of migration facilities including reception and detention facilities in Kosovo. This Action is designed to respond to the priority needs of the Western Balkan beneficiaries, in particular Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia. It focuses particularly on capacities for border surveillance, strengthened inter-agency cooperation, more efficient combating and prevention of migrant smuggling, better detection of trafficking of human beings (THB) and cross-border crime while ensuring full respect of the rule of law and fundamental rights of migrants. An important aspect to enhancing IBM is the establishment and operationalisation of National Coordination Centres, which are a key deliverable identified by the 2018 Strategy for the Western Balkans. The Action is an integrated component within the wider enlargement process and EU accession negotiations under Chapter 24 of the EU acquis to support the development of effective border management systems. &nbsp;It contributes to the rebalancing of EU migration and integrated border management assistance across the areas covered by the European Commission New Pact on Migration and Asylum.Support will dovetail with other IPA funded activities planned at both the beneficiary and regional level.

Institutional capacity building through Technical Assistance and Information Exchange Instrument (TAIEX INTPA 2022) The overall aim of TAIEX INTPA as part of the institution building instruments, is to provide peer-to-peer technical assistance and capacity building to support partner countries in the harmonisation of their regulatory frameworks and sustainable policy reform and to share best practices in EU policy related fields, according to the demands of beneficiaries from partner countries and the strategic priorities of the EU, and in line with EU values. As a result, it contributes to strengthening inclusive societies and good governance in partner countries.TAIEX provides short and medium-term, needs-driven and strategically oriented assistance and is complementary to and works alongside other programmes to help partner countries in reinforcing their institutions and supporting sustainable policy reforms. TAIEX has a longstanding and successful track record deploying public expertise since 1996. The assistance is provided mainly by EU public sector experts, who share their knowledge and experience with beneficiaries through workshops, expert missions, study visits and work from home. The purpose of these activities is to share with EU partners experience, know-how and information on EU policies, EU legislation and its application in order to assist beneficiary institutions strengthening good governance. In specific circumstances, when expertise from beneficiaries in a partner country is of particular significance to other partner countries and it provides an added value, experts from the relevant partner countries can take part in the activities to provide expertise in sustainable policy reforms and standards. This participation comes as an effective complement to the knowledge provided by the EU Member States¿ experts, which remains the core of the activities of TAIEX, while developing a multi-stakeholder approach enriching the instrument with other&nbsp;forms of peer learning (trilateral or ¿South-South¿ cooperation).TAIEX INTPA enhances a Team Europe approach to technical cooperation by providing a mechanism to quickly mobilise public expertise from all Member States, including those that may not have significant development cooperation structures, presence in partner countries or ODA programming. TAIEX INTPA can effectively contribute capacity building elements to Team Europe Initiatives. By providing technical assistance through the public sector, TAIEX INTPA promotes European standards, norms and policy models in an increasingly contested context. As such, it enhances EU policy strategies and supports the EU Global Gateway Initiative through capacity building and enhancing reform and an enabling environment in critical EU priority sectors.
