CBA Project is financed by European Union and co-financed and implemented by UNDP. Its overall objective is to promote sustainable socio-economic development at local level by strengthening participatory governance and encouraging community-based initiatives throughout Ukraine. It is achieved by local communities and local governments by undertaking joint planning and joint implementation of community initiatives. The project period is until 2017. Details on the CBA Project can be found at http://cba.org.ua orhttp://www.undp.org.ua/

The third phase of the CBA Project (CBA III) has begun with 42 months duration. It carries expanded vision over previous two phases and will be implemented throughout Ukraine. Expanded vision includes project interventions in rural areas, in urban areas and in the areas of knowledge management. Accordingly, support is provided to strengthen the capacity of (a) local councils to improve local governance; (b) local communities (villages/multi-apartment buildings) to plan and implement local initiatives jointly with local governments; (c) national associations and regional universities to utilise the experience of the Project respectively in their policy works and curriculum. In this context, a number of trainings/roundtables are held, micro-projects are supported and partners’ visits are organised. These activities require a large amount of information and documents flow horizontally and vertically. They need to be recorded, processed and documented, including on CBA website. Detail about CBA-III can be found at www.cba.org.ua/three.
