Division 3 PARTNERS FOR THE MEASURES

UNODA, acting in close liaison with the 1540 Committee, will continue developing effective partnerships with relevant regional organisations, in particular the OSCE, the African Union and the League of Arab States, as well as with the EU CBRN Centres of Excellence, which benefit from financial support from the European Commission and are implemented jointly by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the UN Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI).

With regard to projects in the OSCE region, UNODA shall conclude an agreement with the OSCE regarding the transfer of funds required for the implementation of such projects, thereby making full use of the Memorandum of Understanding on joint implementation of projects on non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction that UNODA and the OSCE Secretariat concluded in 2011.

UNODA will also maintain its cooperation with other international organisations and agencies, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), to ensure effective synergies and avoid duplication.
