partnerships, combating violence against women, combating trafficking of human beings, etc. The Gender Section continued developing GenderBase, a database for female experts working in the first dimension of the OSCE security framework. This was done in collaboration with the SPMU, as well as other thematic units and sections of the Secretariat. The database is available online since mid 2010 and is increasingly attracting profiles of female experts. The factsheet on Integrating a Gender Approach into Police-Public Partnerships, codeveloped by SPMU and the Gender Section in 2008, was systematically distributed during conferences and meetings. A Russian version of the factsheet was made available in 2010 (http://www.osce.org/gender/item_11_36581.html). ****** 3.4 The Office of the Co-ordinator of Economic and Environmental Activities Background In 2010, the Office of the Co-ordinator of Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA) continued to be directly involved in police-related activities, addressing good governance, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and combating terrorist financing. To this end, the Office co-operated very closely with relevant thematic units, OSCE field operations and partner organizations, such as the UNODC, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Bank, the Council of Europe, the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism (EAG), and others. Anti-Corruption In the area of anti-corruption particular efforts were devoted to awareness raising of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) commitments, promoting its ratification and implementation in the OSCE participating States, as well as providing assistance in bringing national legislation into compliance with international anti-corruption legal frameworks. In May-June 2010, the OCEEA assisted the UNODC in following up with the OSCE field operations on the selection of reviewers for the UNCAC Review of the Implementation Mechanism. On 14 September (Brussels) and 15-16 November (Warsaw), the OCEEA took part in the meetings of the European Commission’s Eastern Partnership (EaP) Platform I Panel on Fight Against Corruption. The OCEEA contributed to the Panel’s work programme and brought to its attention the extensive work and valuable expertise of the OSCE Field Operations in this area in order to stress the need for co-operation to bring about positive synergies and avoid duplication. On 9-10 November, the OCEEA supported the OSCE-UNODC organized workshop on “Implementation of the UNCAC in the National Legislation and its Adoption” in Ashgabat. 30
