Figures are an interesting way to learn about the Programme – they provide a simple illustration of the scale and scope of the activities undertaken. In the previous episode of the ‘Programme in Numbers’, we presented a brief summary of the current 2021-2027 edition of the Programme. This time, let’s take a look at the Programme’s achievements since it was launched.

How many joint Polish-Ukrainian cross-border projects have been completed?

The first edition of the Programme was launched in 2004 and lasted three years. Each subsequent edition has been a full 7-year cycle, in line with the EU’s financial perspectives. The Polish and Ukrainian sides are currently preparing the Programme for the period 2028–2034.

The history of the Programme includes:

23 years of cooperation

4 editions of the Programme

each with its own specific characteristics, implementation rules and a budget that has grown year on year.

Over the course of 23 years:

372 Polish-Ukrainian projects have been successfully implemented

covering key areas such as HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, TRANSPORT ACCESSIBILITY, HERITAGE, TOURISM, SECURITY, BORDERS, SUPPORT FOR LOCAL INITIATIVES AND HUMAN CAPITAL. The Programme has implemented both non-competitive large infrastructure projects of strategic importance and regular projects selected through calls for proposals, as well as micro-projects that addressed the needs of local communities and supported grassroots initiatives.
