Division 3.5.3 Project description

In order to maximise the support of the UN system to the SGM, and in view of the limited resources of the UNODA, it is essential to build strong partnerships with relevant international organisations. Examples of successful arrangements for the provision of expertise and support to both training and potential investigations include the UNODA’s partnerships with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the OIE and the WHO, Interpol, and CBRN Centres of Excellence.

There would be potential to expand this network of partnerships to include other international organisations that may have similar needs in terms of training, expert development and equipment.

Therefore, the UNODA seeks to identify relevant organisational partners, engage with them with due sensitivity to individual mandates, and hold a series of workshops to identify these commonalities and areas for cooperation with a view to securing commitments related to shared training events, equipment and expertise.
