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).

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.
