Against economic crises, political instability, and humanitarian concerns, this talk aims to assess whether the EU’s European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) adequately reflects its values and interests in promoting positive change. Panelists will offer diverse perspectives and actionable recommendations and provide insights into geopolitical factors shaping the ENP’s trajectory. The talk will invite attendees from policymaking, academia, and development practice to explore innovative strategies for EU-civil society collaboration and discuss practical solutions tailored to the region’s needs.
