Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV)

As of 30th of July 2021, the name of the Estonian Center of Eastern Partnership (ECEAP) officially changed to the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV). In legal terms, ECEAP merged with a newly established foundation that is based on private law as stipulated in the Estonian Foundations Act. The new centre is the legal successor of ECEAP and registered in the Estonian non-profit associations and foundations register as such. This means that ECEAP continues its business as usual under the new name and within the new legal body of ESTDEV. This change underpins ECEAP’s transformation into a much larger centre with a wider geographical mandate and increased human resource, to be able to take on more professional cooperation programmes.
