Kiev, vue sur Madjan© Adetef / Antenne Ukraine10 years of administrative cooperation
The Ministries of Economy, Budget, and Sustainable Development have been providing Ukraine with technical assistance for more than ten years with French bilateral and international donors' financing. In addition, ADETEF opened a permanent office in Kiev in 2006. Since then, cooperation activities have gained intensity, in particular in the areas of public finance, taxation, budget, control, and internal auditing. Recently, cooperation has been extended to other areas: energy, the civil service, tourism, public-private partnerships (PPPs), etc. The partnership with Ukraine public administration is conceived in a long term perspective, as Ukraine continues to enact reforms in the wake of the country’s accession to WTO in 2008 and the changes following upon the 2010 presidential elections.

In 2011, ADETEF maintained its commitment to Latin America through the EUROsociAL II programme. After holding the position of deputy director for the public finance section during the first phase of the programme, ADETEF now participates as an "operational partner". At the end of 2010, the consortium won the call for proposals launched by the European Commission for implementation of the second phase.
EUROsociAL II will build on the first phase. Its aim is to help strengthen social cohesion in the Latin-American societies by exchanging experiences between EU Member States and Latin-American countries. The second phase intentionally involves more "on request" assistance in order to match the reform and public policy priorities of the beneficiary countries as closely as possible.
