Impact of Results
The outputs delivered by the Consultant will
essentially contribute to the implementation by the Project of the ongoing
Support Package ‘Prosecution’ whose Recipient is the PGO. The outputs are
aligned to the most urgent needs of the national partners as well as with the
priorities of the reform processes in Ukraine.
As a result of passing the training course,
prosecutors will receive specialised knowledge and practical solutions in
investigations based on the EU best practices and the international standards.
The train-the trainer activity will increase
capacities of the NAPA’s teaching personnel to design and deliver a training
programme related to financial crime and newly-developed course materials and
guidelines will complement teaching material already available at the NAPA.
Eventually, the delivery of the full scope of the
planned activities will contribute to increased efficiency in the functioning
of the prosecution service in Ukraine, as well as improving public trust in the
institution.
Successful delivery of
the interventions, in coordination with all stakeholders, will ensure
sustainability of the Project’s outputs.
