Baltic: Development agencies agree to increase cooperation

The state-run development agencies of the three Baltic States have signed an agreement to increase bilateral and trilateral cooperation, ERR reports. The agreement will allow the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV), Latvia’s Central Finance and Contracting Agency (CFLA), and Lithuania’s Central Project Management Agency (CPVA) to share information and expertise more effectively. The three agencies will look for further areas of collaboration in Africa and EU Eastern Partnership countries, particularly Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia.
