Objective
The project contributes to the resilience and reinforcement of the border management in Ukraine by strengthening the capacities of Ukrainian IBM agencies in the context of war. This will help ensure, in the long term, safe international mobility of people, including by countering human trafficking, irregular migration and other forms of security threats, facilitation of trade through adapted trade routes, and increased level of security at the Ukrainian borders protecting both Ukraine and EU from conventional and hybrid threats and knock-on effects of the war.
