through co-ordination meetings with representatives of the OSCE field operations, held in Vienna, South-Eastern Europe and Central Asia. TNTD/SPMU provided assistance to participating States and field operations in the areas of police development and reform and the fight against transnational crime, through assessments, development of guidance material, capacity-building, training courses, conferences and workshops. Nearly two thirds of all TNTD/ SPMU activities were dedicated to addressing threats posed by criminal activity, with an emphasis on intelligence-led policing, illicit drugs and chemical precursors, trafficking in human beings and migration-related crime and cybercrime. Other TNTD/SPMU areas of focus included police development and reform, cross-border co-operation in criminal matters and counter-terrorism investigations. The Action against Terrorism Unit (TNTD/ATU) continued its capacity-building activities on counter-terrorism-related work. The unit promoted the international legal framework and co-operation in criminal matters related to terrorism through a number of roundtables, workshops, training courses and conferences. Significant attention was devoted to events and exercises related to national risk assessments and crisis situation management on non-nuclear critical energy infrastructure protection. Furthermore, TNTD/ATU organized and delivered several capacity-building activities aiming at strengthening criminal justice responses to terrorism financing, the threat of foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) and P/C VERLT. The Borders Security and Management Unit (TNTD/ BSMU) continued to strengthen the OSCE Border Security and Management National Focal Points Network, along with providing training and capacity development activities to border security and management services of participating States and Partners for Co-operation. Furthermore, TNTD/BSMU provided front-line officers with training on detecting forgery of travel documents. In 2017, TNTD/ BSMU organized three deployment missions of the newly established OSCE Mobile Training Team delivering on-site training on identifying and interviewing potential FTFs. The Gender Section assisted the OSCE’s executive structures in promoting a gender perspective in police-related activities in line with UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. As a part of this process, the OSCE Secretariat developed the Implementation Roadmap 2017-2020 to guide the work of departments and units along the lines of the OSCE 2004 Action Plan for the Promotion of Gender Equality. The Gender Section continued to raise the awareness of the OSCE staff and participating States on gender issues by organizing side events during OSCE meetings. 8 In 2017, the Economic Governance Unit of the Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA) continued to be involved in policerelated activities while addressing a wide range of issues regarding good governance, anti-corruption and antimoney laundering. The Office co-operated closely with relevant thematic units at the Secretariat, the OSCE field operations and partner organizations, such as United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the World Bank, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism (EAG). The Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (OSR/CTHB) co-operated closely with TNTD/SPMU in combating human trafficking and migration-related crime. The OSR/ CTHB focused on fostering the exchange of experience between criminal justice institutions on the prosecution of trafficking offenders, as well as protection of victims and the investigation of sexual crimes. Moreover, the Office continued to organize capacity-building events for prosecutors, law enforcement officers, lawyers, military personnel and border guards. Activities of Field Operations In South-Eastern Europe, some 70% of all police-related activities focused on police development and reform, with gender and ethnic mainstreaming, community policing and gender-based and domestic violence being the main areas. The largest proportion of activities related to threats posed by criminal activity focused on trafficking in human beings, counter-terrorism and P/C VERLT, and border security. While the clear majority (62-75%) of all activities organized by the OSCE Presence in Albania, OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, OSCE Mission to Montenegro, OSCE Mission to Serbia and OSCE Mission to Skopje addressed threats posed by criminal activities, some three quarters of all activities delivered by the OSCE Mission in Kosovo focused on police development and reform. In Eastern Europe, the OSCE Mission to Moldova concentrated slightly over 75% of police-related activities on police development and reform in the area of gender-based and domestic violence, and the remaining 25% of activities on trafficking in human beings and migration-related crime.
