The Tallinn Mechanism Project Office (TMPO) was officially launched in Kyiv in April 2025 as part of the international Tallinn Mechanism initiative. Operating at the intersection of project management, cybersecurity, and cyber diplomacy, TMPO aims to enhance transparency, coordination, and the effectiveness of donor support for Ukraine’s cyber resilience.
In coordination with TM Front Office (Estonia), TMPO connects international donors, implementing partners, Ukrainian authorities, beneficiaries, and critical infrastructure, ensuring support goes where it’s most needed and impact is measurable.
The establishment of TMPO was initiated by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
The office works closely with Ukrainian TM governmental counterparts, in particular, the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection (SSSCIP), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the National Cybersecurity Coordination Center (NCSCC). This collaboration helps donors provide more targeted and efficient support for cyber projects benefiting TM recipients – central and local authorities and state-owned critical infrastructure operators.
TMPO’s main functions include:
-
Providing technical assistance, visibility, and tracking of TM-funded projects and initiatives
-
Coordinating project implementation between donors, Ukrainian stakeholders and beneficiaries
-
Monitoring and reporting impact
-
Maintaining the Catalog – a portal matching Ukraine’s cyber needs with international support opportunities
-
Engaging the private sector to contribute expertise, technologies, and capabilities to Ukraine’s cyber resilience
-
Informing the public about key initiatives and outcomes delivered under the Tallinn Mechanism
The TMPO is supported by the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) and EU CyberNet – Ukraine’s good partners in building long-term institutional capacity.
