The European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) Cross-border cooperation (CBC) and Interreg NEXT (acronym for: “Neighbourhood External”) programmes extend the principles of European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) among Member States within the EU, better known as Interreg, to territorial cooperation between Member States and the Partner countries and territories in the Neighbourhood area. They cover both cross-border cooperation (CBC) on land borders and sea crossing as well as transnational cooperation programmes covering sea basins.

Cross-border and transnational (sea-basin) cooperation along EU’s external land and sea borders is a unique form of cooperation between EU MS and neighbouring countries. It provides the framework and opportunities for enhanced people-to-people contacts, cooperation and exchanges essentially at regional and local level, and involves a broad range of actors (local authorities, NGOs, Civil Society Organisations (CSO), universities and other stakeholders).

The specific objectives of this contract are the following:

• to enable participating countries to manage, implement and close the ENI CBC Programmes taking into account the disruptions caused by the Russian aggression against Ukraine;
• to enable participating countries to manage and implement Interreg NEXT programmes in the most efficient way and to ensure effective cooperation between the Member States and the partner countries;

• to stimulate coordination not only among ENI CBC/Interreg NEXT programmes but also between ENI CBC/Interreg NEXT programmes and other similar instruments. This would allow for exchanges of best practices among both Programmes and projects as well as increase the ENI CBC and NEXT visibility.
