Support for sustainable change post-2015. How partner countries can capitalise on European experiences in transition management

The EU has a range of useful tools available to support countries in transition worldwide as they embark on the path to democracy. The EU can play a key role by helping to create an enabling environment for some of the crucial elements of successful democratic and economic transformations. These and possibly new tools and methodologies should form a coherent part of the EU's overall framework of support to partner countries, especially where they are engaging in transition. The experience shows that transition processes should be owned by the state and its citizens, experience also shows that the EU has valuable expertise to offer, adapted of course to the needs of partner countries anywhere in the world.
