The Regional Development Plan (RDP) for Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) for the 2026–2029 cycle reflects detailed analyses of the region’s current situation and the lessons learned from the Abidjan cycle. It provides both an overview of the global and regional postal environment, together with a targeted set of development cooperation actions tailored to the needs of the region.
The Europe and CIS region shows relatively high levels of service reliability and resilience. However, it faces strong competition, with customer-centric innovation and both exogenous and endogenous regulation among the main challenges. Demographic shifts and labour shortages also pose structural issues for the sustainability of national postal operators.
