Strengthening of the INOGATE Technical Secretariat in support of the Baku Initiative The project “Strengthening of the INOGATE Technical Secretariat in support of the Baku Initiative” sought to expand the services provided by the INOGATE Technical Secretariat (ITS), with a view to improving the overall performance of the INOGATE programme towards achieving the goals defined under the Baku Initiative – converging energy markets, enhancing energy security, supporting sustainable energy development, and attracting investment – as well as any future objectives that might be set out in this framework. The INOGATE Technical Secretariat runs the regional co-ordination mechanism for the INOGATE Programme and thus enhances energy cooperation between the EU, the littoral states of the Black and Caspian Seas and their neighbouring countries.
