Regional Programme for Eastern Africa “Promoting the Rule of Law and Human Security in Eastern Africa” 2009 - 2015

Counter-Terrorism Security

In 2008, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) devoted high priority to identifying new opportunities for programme development while ensuring a well-coordinated and rapid response to the needs and requests of Members States (MS). This so-called Integrated Programming Approach (IPA) included the development of five Regional Programmes (RPs) to cover the geographical regions of East Asia and Pacific, Eastern Africa, Caribbean, Central America, and the Balkans. These areas were considered in urgent need of support to elaborate a new generation of technical cooperation programmes.
