Dear Reader,
It has been 10 years since Poland joined the European
Union. As a result, the Polish Eastern border also became an
external border of the EU. European Neighbourhood Policy
instruments were made available to develop cross-border
cooperation with the Eastern neighbours based on common
values and goals.
Building a zone of sustainable development whilst
maintaining cultural diversity and tolerance became
a joint priority for the border regions of Poland, Belarus and
Ukraine. The border regions gained a great opportunity to
strengthen their cooperation through the realisation of common projects within the ENPI CBC Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine 2007-2013.

I am proud to present a series of publications reflecting how
the regions from the eligible area of the Programme approached cross-border cooperation and what specific projects are being implemented on their territories to improve
development processes. This analysis can also be a valuable
guide on how to plan subsequent projects within the Programme under the financial perspective 2014-2020, which
will open new possibilities for cross-border cooperation.
Sylwester Zając
Director at the Department of Certification
and Designation in the Ministry
of Infrastructure and Development
Joint Managing Authority of the ENPI CBC
Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine 2007-2013
Regional development and cross-border cooperation are
among the highest priorities of Ukraine in the context of
EU-Ukraine relations, as reflected in the corresponding
provisions of the recently signed EU-Ukraine Association
Agreement. The ENPI CBC programmes, namely PolandBelarus-Ukraine Programme target the same priorities as
the Association Agreement, namely infrastructural development, strengthening border security and efficiency, improving access to the region, protecting the environment and
promoting culture, education and healthcare.
The Poland-Belarus-Ukraine Programme stands out among
other donor programmes and instruments as having the
optimal approach to regional development through close
cooperation, training and partnership at project level to benefit the border regions and partner countries.
The calls for proposals have demonstrated that Ukrainian
national and local governments and NGOs are keen to participate in the Programme. It has given Ukrainian partners the
chance to build partnerships at institutional, communal and
personal levels and to draw on the best European practices
to address common challenges.
We believe that Ukrainian partners, having gained experience of project design and implementation, are now well
prepared to become lead project partners and take on more
responsibility. This will allow us to develop our capacity at
both national and regional levels to attract and absorb EU
funds for regional development even more effectively.
The Cross-Border Cooperation Programme PolandBelarus-Ukraine 2007-2013 of the ENPI stems from and builds
on the cross-border cooperation between the three countries
in place.
Over the three calls for proposals, Lviv Oblast has submitted
544 projects of which 42 projects are being implemented in the
field of cross-border tourism, environmental protection, emergency response, business training, health care, culture and others with the total funding of over 46 million euro. On its part, Lviv
Oblast State Administration as the beneficiary is committed to
assisting and supporting project implementation.
The infrastructural component has proven to be one of the major strengths of the Programme and the projects selected within
the 2nd call for proposals with a “hard” component have produced sustainable and significant results.
The Branch Office of the Joint Technical Secretariat in Lviv is the
first representative office on the external border of the European Union, which has been working since 2010 to promote the
ENPI programmes and equip potential applicants and beneficiaries with up-to-date information and advice.
The CBC Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine for period 20072013 created great opportunities for the development of the
border infrastructure, human capital and institutional cooperation. Nevertheless, we hope that the new ENI Poland-Belarus-Ukraine Programme for period 2014-2020 will broaden
prospects for economic integration and cooperation by offering a wider arsenal of mechanisms of interaction. Coordinated
effort should be taken to incorporate the border regions integration component into the Programme. The new Programme
should become a living strategic document encompassing the
national development priorities of the three partner countries.
Lviv Oblast community is looking forward to the launch of the
new cross-border cooperation programmes as another milestone in building the EU-Ukraine relations.

INTRODUCTION TO
THE REGION
Located in the west of the country close to the external border of European Union, Lviv Oblast has a place in
Ukraine. Today, the city of Lviv is often referred to as
‘’the soul of Ukraine”, its spiritual capital, the stronghold
of national identity. It is also dear to the Polish people
as it is connected with important pages of their history
and many prominent figures of Polish culture. Austrians,
Jews, Hungarians, Armenians and other nationalities also
can find traces of their cultures in the unique heritage of
the region.
In general, Lviv Oblast has many things to offer its visitors. This is the place where one can admire beautiful old
buildings (3934 landmarks are located here), find traces
of prominent people of the past, follow pilgrimage routes,
hike or ski in the mountains, enjoy music and performances during numerous art festivals, taste all kinds of
national cuisines and what not. Although often neglected by central authorities in terms of infrastructure and
investments, it is finding its own way, mostly thanks to
local initiatives both in business, social issues or local development.

With 45 projects taking place here with a total value over
65 million EUR, Lviv is a leader among the Ukrainian
regions in the number of projects. Nearly 90 public and
non-governmental bodies from the Oblast are involved
in carrying out the projects, including 6 entities acting as
Lead Partners. For micro-projects realised within umbrella projects, there are 21, which have leaders located
in Lviv Oblast.
Thanks to the Programme, many towns in the region had
an opportunity to solve their acute problems. Thus, the
town of Horodok obtained a new water sewerage system. In Staryj Sambir, several streets have been repaired.
Yavoriv gained a new pavement on the Rynok square and

Lviv Oblast plays a key role in the ENPI CBC Programme
Poland-Belarus-Ukraine 2007-2013. It is one of its core
regions and the usual place for beneficiaries’ meeting
such as trainings, workshops and conferences. It is also
a seat of the Branch Office of the Joint Technical Secretariat, which makes it the nearest contact point for all
Ukrainian stakeholders.
“The People’s House” was renovated. The ancient town of
Zhovkva, a UNESCO heritage site, will have several historical buildings (parts of the Castle and the Town hall)
renovated, and a tourist centre and museum established.
Additionally, the Jan III Sobieski Trail will be created. Novoyavorivsk was one of the pioneers in the region by having installed solar batteries on the hospital building. Sokal
received modern fire engines. A village of Khorobriv will
have a system of waste storage and treatment. The spa
towns of Morshyn and Schidnytsia will be able to attract
more visitors through improvements in their infrastructure, too. The historical mineral-water well-room and
the avenues will be renovated in Morshyn park, a new
sewerage system and lighting installed. In Schidnytsia,
a new multifunctional facility will be built, serving as an
amphitheatre, sports arena or ice skating rink in winter.
All these projects demonstrate the active position of local
communities and their willingness to develop cross-border cooperation with Polish counterparts.
More projects beyond the city of Lviv include, for instance,
the Geo-Carpathians Tourist route, with 16 points of interest located in Ukraine, which is a must for everyone
interested in rocks and geomorphology. Another project
in this area is intended to make the Carpathian Mountains a safer place for travelling. The project involves the
establishment of the Training Centre for mountain guides
and search and rescue service in Dovhe village, as well
as the establishment and provision of equipment in two
new Public Search and Rescue Points.
There are several projects implemented by Lviv City
Council, designed to make Lviv a better place to live. They
include initiatives on various subject matters such as safe
co-existence of people and homeless animals or adapting the underground part of the city for tourist activities
(“Underground City”). A project on electronic waste treatment is of special interest, in which the project team took
steps not only in the separate collection of electronic and
electrical equipment like fluorescent lamps and batteries,
but purchased equipment for their processing.
Among the social initiatives worth mentioning is the project of Dzherelo rehabilitation centre for disabled children. This centre, which is unique for this area and handles patients from all over Ukraine, will be able to offer
more services for those who need them. Within the project, new premises will be adopted for a training centre,
relevant equipment, furniture and other items purchased.
Another social project, which was initiated by a Lviv NGO,
has been designed to fill in the gap in pre-school education in Ukraine. It concentrated on small villages, where
there is a lack of kindergartens and children have no opportunities to spend time in an interesting and useful way.
Within the project, short-stay groups for kids have been
opened in the villages of Lviv and Zakarpattya Oblasts,
with relevant premises refurbished and equipped. Also,
teachers have been trained to use methods for these
types of groups. The project raised great interest in
Ukraine; other regions are willing to do the same in their
village schools.

The Programme is based on cross-border cooperation and this element finds substantial manifestation in
extensive contacts between Polish and Ukrainian universities and scientific institutions. Many institutions from
Lviv Oblast undertake joint research and organise student exchange programmes. This academic collaboration,
aside from multiplying social capital and expanding the
educational capacity of the region, brings tangible bene-

fits to the community. For instance, among the strategies
developed in the course of academic cooperation projects, there is a technological and organisational solution
for making use of zeolites – microporous minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents and catalysts. Polish and Ukrainian educational institutions make efforts to
establish a permanent link between academic and business worlds, which is a condition to profit from any technological advancements. The effects of collaboration are
not necessarily reflected in direct economic gains, but can
also take the form of social advancements. For example,
the inhabitants of Lviv shall obtain more competent advice from pharmacists, who increase their qualifications
12
at seminars organised especially for them. At the same
time, local vets and students, who are going to treat animals in the future, will receive access to a new teaching
and diagnostic centre in Lviv, fitted with new equipment,
and an ambulance. It will also raise standards of veterinary care in the region. One more scientific initiative in
Lviv Oblast is dealing with monitoring and detoxification
of harmful substances in the environment.
Apart from regular projects, there are also several socalled large scale projects being implemented at the
border-crossing points of Lviv Oblast, including BCPs
Institutions of Lviv Oblast are partners in 5 umbrella projects. One of the projects, where a Lead partner is from
Lviv, combines micro-projects in joint efforts for the development of tourism in small towns of the Oblast. Two
other umbrella projects, where partners from Lviv Oblast
are widely represented, concern health tourism development of Polish-Ukrainian borderland and promotion of
a common historical and cultural heritage of Poland and
Ukraine “Fortress of Przemyśl”.
To sum up, Lviv Oblast is a brilliant example of how
local initiatives and cross-border cooperation can have
a positive influence on regional development through
co-financing by the EU. The wide range of activities
proves that cross-border cooperation is multidimensional and can benefit many different groups. Furthermore, it shows that the joint efforts of neighbours lead
to real changes and that, figuratively, an external EU border brings regions closer instead of dividing them. Lviv
Oblast is expected to keep its leading positions in the new
financial perspective of ENI CBC Poland-Belarus-Ukraine
2014-2020 and come out with new project ideas.

The project refers to the tourism sector development as one
of the key issue for better use of the natural and cultural potential of Lviv Oblast and Podkarpackie Voivodeship. Thanks to
the project realisation, the Training Centre for mountain guides
and rescuers was established and two Public Search-Rescue Points in Ukraine have been equipped. Furthermore,
a variety of information and training events took place both
in Poland and Ukraine: trainings for workers of Rescue Points
and mountain guides, training camps for rescuers, seminars
and conferences on the issue of tourist safety in the Carpathians. Additionally, 10 tourist-information signs along
the tourist routes with information about operating Public
Search-Rescue Points serving the territory and contacts of
rescuers were installed to help tourists find the place of their
own location and proper direction on the route.

How did it all begin, i.e. how was the idea for the project created?
The idea was conceived in 2007 as a logical extension of the project “Creating an International Ukrainian-Polish Association of Carpathian Mountain Guides” and a number of successful
regional micro-projects. The project aims to ensure the safety of tourists in the mountains and
to position the Carpathian region on the international tourist market.

Our volunteer search and rescue points are organised based on the Polish model and are
manned by local instructors in sport tourism (skiing, horse-riding and trekking), as well as
mountain guides and mountaineers. Currently two volunteer search and rescue
points operate in Lviv Oblast, namely in
Dovhe village and in Slavske resourt. Working in the search and rescue teams consolidates the local community and encourages
them to actively seek and come up with

new methodologies, upgrading training materials in order to
create jobs, improve tourist services and develop an integrated
service along the cross-border tourist routes.
Tourist safety has been enhanced. The local community has
consolidated to address primary obstacles impeding tourism
development. The project has reared a new generation of tour
guides for the cross-border tourist routes, who have a broad
understanding of the cross-border region and are in a position
to help the tourists appreciate its natural, cultural and historic
treasures.

The overall objective of the project is supporting sustainable development of rural communities through establishing local partnership in the pre-school education field. The
main problem which the project partners aim to solve are
lower chances for education for children from rural districts caused by i.e. lacking resources for administrating
pre-school education. Thanks to the realisation of the project, 48 pre-schools will be set up and able to serve the children from rural communities in 8 West-Ukrainian districts.
Moreover, working groups, study visits, conferences and
public campaigns will be conducted to share experience in
local partnership building for the sustainable development
of rural areas.


How did it all begin, i.e. how was the idea for the project created?
It all started back in 2007, when several Ukrainian project partners went on a study tour to Edukator Public-educational Society
in Łomża. It was there that someone said: “A village is alive as long as children live there”. The discussion ensued that parents
wanting a better life for their children are leaving villages, because the level of education the village schools have to offer does
not meet the requirements for a successful career, and that
educational opportunities for rural children from Poland and
Ukraine have to be equalized.
 What most important effect does/will the project
have for the target group, population, the region? What
problem will it solve? What needs does it respond to?
The project aims to address the problem that Ukrainian
rural children have poorer access to pre-school education
compared to their urban counterparts. The resources are
scarce to sustain regular kindergartens, therefore, alternative solutions to educate children and promote their individual development have to be sought. Polish rural areas
are facing the same problem, although they have already
started pooling local resources to support rural education.
The principal project achievements include having prepared 1000 pre-school children from 48 rural communities
of 8 rayons of the 4 Ukrainian oblasts for school, having
gone through adaptation in the kindergarten to ease transition into school life; and having provided diagnostic and
curricular development support to kindergarten teachers
from Eastern Poland, where the lowest rates of pre-school
education in Poland still persist.
 Is your project unique in comparison to other initiatives undertaken in the region?
The project goal is unique in that it strives for sustainable development of rural communities (in select western
Ukrainian rayons) through the creation and operation of
local partnerships for alternative pre-school education. The
project aims to consolidate the local communities to address

the challenges of retaining educational institutions and improving the quality of education.
The Polish lessons learnt have demonstrated how communal energy can be channelled for
self-governance and true democracy.
 What valuable experience have you gained through the implementation of the
project, particularly in the field of cross-border cooperation?
The project has enabled Ukrainian communities to quickly “catch up” with their neighbours
in alternative solutions to rural pre-school education by mobilizing local communities, which
resulted in creating and opening alternative kindergartens on rural school premises. From this
platform new symmetric projects can be launched and cooperation in adjacent fields can be
fostered.

The project is focused on solving the problem of household
electronic and electrical equipment waste management. For
this purpose, the project partners undertake activities such
as research of the current state of handling waste of electrical and electronic equipment in Lviv and Lublin and the
development and approval of a comprehensive municipal
programme on handling these types of waste in Lviv. Also,
Lviv will benefit from the project thanks to the purchase
of two minibuses serving as mobile centres for collecting
household equipment waste, and devices for collecting mercury-vapour lamps. In both participating cities, 230 specialised containers for separate collection of dead batteries will
be placed. Furthermore, the partners have been conducting
a vast awareness-raising campaign, including, among
others, an international conference, educational campaigns
at schools and a media campaign.

How did it all begin, i.e. how was the idea for the project created?
The project idea was conceived in 2010 when a task force was seeking solutions to address
the challenge of the safe treatment of consumer electronic and electrical equipment waste
in the city of Lviv. The experts of Lviv City Council jointly with NGO “Environmental Initiatives” representatives designed the project concept, defined the main goals, objectives and
targets. The idea to draw on the best practices of our Polish
colleagues was well received and was welcomed by the environmental protection experts from the Lublin MunicipaliThe experts of Lviv City Council

The positive effect will be manifested in that the regional
communities will be equipped with effective instruments
to realize their needs and aspirations to live in a safe and
cleaner environment. The environmental awareness of the
regional residents, particularly among the young people, was
considerably heightened owing to an intensive informational
and educational campaign. Surely, environmental awareness

requires incessant close attention of the local self-government and environmental NGOs, and an active community
stance overall. With this aim in view, the project will lay down
a sound foundation.
The project implementation will help the city of Lviv to make an advance towards modern European safe waste treatment
models and effective use of secondary resources, and will assist Lublin in maintaining its status as a national leader in new
technologies and electrical waste management.
 Is your project unique in comparison to other initiatives undertaken in the region?
Our project’s uniqueness is about flexibly combining soft and hard actions to design a comprehensive model to address the most pressing problems today – the problem of effective
waste management and maximum use of secondary resources with minimal impact on the
environment. The project is one of its kind in Ukraine, since no other city has introduced an
effective system for managing electrical and electronic waste.
 What valuable experience have you gained through the implementation of the
project, particularly in the field of cross-border cooperation?
Owing to cooperation with out Polish partners we have become increasingly aware of our
accountability for the safe and clean environment for the future generations.
