What Eu Project Pravo-justice does

EU Project Pravo-Justice is an EU-funded technical assistance programme that supports rule-of-law and justice sector reform in Ukraine. It is implemented by Expertise France, a French public-sector international technical assistance agency, and was established in 2018. Currently operating under Phase III (January 2024 - June 2026) with a €13.36 million EU budget, the project delivers four reform components: prosecutorial reform, judicial reform, enforcement and property rights, and EU integration. It serves Ukrainian justice institutions including the Supreme Court, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National School of Judges, and the State Enforcement Service, alongside civil society organizations operating in all oblasts.

The project combines policy advisory work with the design and deployment of digital justice infrastructure. Its core digital products include the Unified Judicial Information and Telecommunications System (UJITS), the EXILA system for the State Enforcement Service, an Electronic Document Management system, and the Forensic Expert Electronic Cabinet. In June 2026 it modernized the Supreme Court Database of Legal Positions with generative AI-based search. It also operates a €870,000 grant facility for civil society organizations and a coordination platform linking 40+ donor partners and 75+ civil society organizations.

The economic model is that of a grant-funded international development project rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue is supplied by EU programming (with supplementary contributions from the Government of Japan and other donors) and is not generated through pricing or licensing of its digital platforms; the systems it builds are owned by and transferred to Ukrainian state institutions. Go-to-market is direct — embedded advisers working inside beneficiary institutions — and is anchored in the project's status as an EU-mandated partner to the Government of Ukraine.

Emerging players

• UNODC Ukraine: UN Office on Drugs and Crime providing rule-of-law and anti-corruption support in Ukraine. Overlaps with Pravo-Justice on prosecutorial reform and international crimes work, but with a narrower thematic focus.

Direct peers

• OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine: OSCE mission supporting rule-of-law, judicial, and human-rights reform in Ukraine. Comparable international-organisation TA model, overlapping beneficiary institutions, and parallel justice-sector thematic focus.
• UNDP Ukraine: UN agency collaborating with Pravo-Justice on victim and witness support units. Runs a broader but overlapping governance and rule-of-law portfolio in Ukraine, making it a close comparator on beneficiary type, donor structure, and reform scope.
• GIZ Ukraine Rule of Law Programmes: German federal development agency running rule-of-law and justice-sector programmes across Eastern Europe, including Ukraine. Highly comparable donor-funded TA model, EU member-state implementing agency, and beneficiary profile to Pravo-Justice.
• Council of Europe Project 'Fostering Human Rights in the Criminal Justice System in Ukraine – Phase II': Council of Europe technical cooperation project jointly implementing justice-sector outputs with Pravo-Justice (e.g., Functional Audit of Council of Prosecutors). Operates the same donor-funded TA model targeting the same Ukrainian justice institutions.
• USAID Justice for All Activity: US-government-funded justice sector reform activity in Ukraine, explicitly listed as a Pravo-Justice partner. Works on overlapping areas including judicial reform, legal education, and access to justice — directly comparable mandate, donor model, and beneficiary base.
• EU Advisory Mission for Civilian Security Sector Reform Ukraine (EUAM Ukraine): EU CSDP mission providing strategic advice on civilian security sector reform in Ukraine. Broader than Pravo-Justice (covers policing, rule of law) but shares the EU-donor model, Ukrainian institutional beneficiaries, and reform-support mandate.

Broad incumbents

• World Bank Ukraine Justice Reform Project: World Bank lending and TA operations supporting Ukraine's judicial reform and commercial courts. Larger balance sheet and broader scope but comparable donor-driven reform mandate and overlapping institutional counterparts (e.g., commercial courts).
• EBRD Ukraine: Listed Pravo-Justice partner contributing expertise on trans-territorial jurisdiction in commercial courts. Operates as a much larger multilateral institution with broader economic-reform scope but with a comparable Ukraine-focused, EU-aligned mandate.
• Expertise France: French government's technical-assistance agency and parent implementing entity of Pravo-Justice. Operates a broad portfolio of international TA projects worldwide — Pravo-Justice is effectively one of its Ukraine programmes.
