reporting period, the CSI facilitated building a bridge of trust between the police and youth, who are one of the main vulnerable groups in the country. Overall for the period, over 4,500 school youth participated in over 40 joint events organized by the CSI and the local police on the topics above. The CSI Human Rights Advisor (CSI HRA) joined the team in March and held numerous introductory and strategic meetings with police, Ombudsman Office, international organizations and NGOs to identify human rights priority areas. In 2014, the CSI HRA conducted standardized training in all 15 districts to over 350 local police, including investigators on human rights and torture prevention. During the reporting period, over 400 citizens participated in discussions on topics ranging from how human rights violations can be prevented, gender sensitivity, domestic violence and bride kidnapping prevention. Freedom of assembly is a key fundamental human right and in 2014 the CSI expert promoted 15 training sessions on policing during peaceful assemblies for over 400 police officers in five provinces. One of the goals of the CSI is to actively recruit various ethnic minorities and women into the police. With this goal in mind, the CSI teams organized over 15 campaigns in which CSI brochures on this topic were disseminated to over 1,600 citizens. Additionally, the CSI teams continued to assist local police officers to raise awareness on tolerance within a multi-ethnic society. In line with this objective, over ten trainings on tolerance within diverse communities continued during the year in co-operation with local police to well over 500 students. Discussions and meetings with the police and local community stakeholders were held in the CSI areas on the topic of preventing religious extremism among youth. In 2014, the CSI focused on raising the knowledge of the police in combating religious extremism in partnership with the community. Over 300 Kyrgyz MoI senior police officers in all CSI areas as well within the ministry were presented with the OSCE-prepared guidebook on “Preventing Terrorism and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalization that lead to Terrorism: A Community-Policing Approach”. An impressive illustration of increased trust and confidence in the police occurred in the Batken district. The CSI team, together with the MoD and Juvenile Delinquency Officer (JDI), conducted mine awareness training for the local school students on the dangers of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in the region. During the first training session, one student, after being made aware of the different types of ordnance that could be found, reported having seen something similar to one of the explosive devices described, whilst pasturing cattle the previous year. A de-mining expert (combat engineer of MoD), representatives of the State Border Service, CSI and Batken District Police asked the schoolboy to show them the location. As a result, two UXOs were discovered very close to his village, in an area regularly used by both children and adults alike. Experts defused the devices and the success was widely reported in the media. More than 160 students over three training sessions in multiple sites have now received such training. Throughout the year, the CSI co-operated with international and local institutions to foster community security and stability. With the support of our NGO partner, SaferWorld, the CSI jointly implemented a cross-border project with representatives of the villages of MyrzaPatcha (Kyrgyzstan) and Kurgoncha (Tajikistan). The purpose of the project was to solve one of the safety problems shared by the neighbouring multi-ethnic communities and to jointly co-operate in finding solutions for a number of other social, agricultural and environmental issues. The “My Clean Town” campaign in Osh was carried out with the support of the Mayor, interested business leaders, educators and youth. The aim was to promote environmental awareness and build civic pride among the city’s youth through addressing the need for creating a cleaner and healthier living environment. Over the course of two weeks, more than 1.5 tons of plastic comprising 21,000 bottles was collected by school youth. All the 146
