of all project activities devoted to this topic. These projects were particularly in the focus of the field operations in Eastern Europe. The fight against illicit drugs and chemical precursors received the second greatest attention with an increase of some 40 percent, outnumbering activities on counter-terrorism. Cyber security/cybercrime as well as criminal analysis and investigations also received notable attention, followed by activities that addressed anticorruption, forensics and financial investigations. A number of activities were also devoted to travel document security.3 Activities of the OSCE Secretariat The Co-ordination Cell (CC) of the Transnational Threats Department (TNTD) facilitated effective co-ordination among the OSCE executive structures. Additionally, the unit contributed to the development of an Initial Set of OSCE Confidence-Building Measures to Reduce the Risks of Conflict stemming from the Use of Information and Communication Technologies, which were adopted by PC Decision No.1106 and subsequently by the Ministerial Council in December 2013. The TNTD/CC continued enhancing the POLIS online information system, organized on-line forums and video conferences, and promoted cooperation with relevant international and regional organizations. The TNTD/Strategic Police Matters Unit continued providing police-related support to the OSCE Secretary General and the OSCE Chairmanship-in-Office. The Unit provided assistance to the participating States and the field operations in the area of police reform and development, including assessments of police reform programmes, and the development of operational guidelines on Police Reform within the Framework of Criminal Justice System Reform. A significant amount of attention was also devoted to addressing THB, cybercrime, illicit drugs and chemical precursors. The TNTD/Action against Terrorism Unit continued with capacity building on counterterrorism and anti-organized crime-related police work. The Unit promoted the international legal framework and co-operation in criminal matters related to terrorism through a number of roundtables, workshops and conferences, and devoted a notable amount of attention to events on travel document security as well as countering violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism (VERLT), the latter resulting in the development of operational guidelines on the role of police-public partnerships as part of a comprehensive and humanrights-compliant approach to preventing terrorism. The TNTD/Borders Security and Management Unit continued to provide support to the Border Management Staff College in Dushanbe. The Unit also facilitated application of community policing principles at borders, and conducted activities addressing border delimitation and demarcation issues, THB, illicit trade in small arms and light weapons, drug trafficking, corruption and other border security-related crimes. The Gender Section in the Office of the Secretary General provided assistance to the TNTD and the field operations in promoting a gender perspective in police-related activities through facilitating projects on domestic violence and the integration of women in police services. The Gender Section also continued developing the roster for female experts in the first dimension. Police-related activities of the Office of the Co-ordinator of Economic and Environmental Activities included initiatives addressing the issues of terrorist financing, money laundering and corruption. The Office promoted mechanisms and standards to combat these crimes. 3 12 A graphic overview of the types of assistance provided by the various executive structures in the different fields of the fight against organized crime is given in Appendix 4 to this report.
