Support for Rule of Law Reforms in Ukraine (PRAVO II) Project
The European Union
funded ‘Support for Rule of Law Reforms in the Areas of Police, Public
Prosecution and Good Governance Project’ (known as PRAVO II) has the overall
objective of supporting Rule of Law in Ukraine through strengthening the systems
in place to support policing, prosecution and civilian governance in Ukraine
and to align its functioning with the best European and International
practices.
This PRAVO II Project supports the creation
of an efficient law-enforcement system respectful of human rights in support of
the people of Ukraine, through the provision of necessary support to the National
Police and other Ukrainian authorities in charge of civilian law-enforcement.
On substance matters, the project relies on the EU Advisory Mission (EUAM) to
Ukraine which is a Civilian Security Mission, based in Kiev and with presences
in Kharkiv, Lviv and Odessa.
The PRAVO II Project further provides support to law
enforcement agencies (LEAs) capacity to upgrade their Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) supported processes and infrastructure, as
well as ICT management capacity through the provision of ICT assessments, procurement
of ICT equipment, and a range of other ICT solutions. This in turn will contribute
to enhanced efficiency and effectiveness of LEAs’ services, while improving
their accountability, transparency, and respect of human rights.
