The Eastern Partnership (EaP) Integrated Border Management (IBM) Capacity Building Project supports the implementation of IBM across borders in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, according to European best practices. The project focuses on capacity building and enhancing the training capacities of the national agencies involved in border management, such as border police and customs.

- Support the improvement of border crossing by traders, freight forwarders and passengers.
- Support the fight against corruption in the partner countries, and support improved respect for human rights for persons crossing borders.
- Where applicable, contribute to a smooth operationalisation of visa liberalisation.
