The underlying intervention logic of this action is to contribute to Cuba’s sustainable development by supporting the implementation of the EU-Cuba cooperation agreement, ensuring that EU-funded actions achieve maximum results and impact.

Through studies, analyses and trainings, it will support initiatives such as the Team Europe Initiative, the EU-Cuba roadmap for civil society engagement, and the EU-Cuba Gender Action Plan, fostering participatory approaches.
