materials on Human Trafficking Investigation, which were developed for the Police Academy,
were used as a basis for the curricula and training materials of the Border Troops Academy’s
course on Human Trafficking Awareness. The Office aimed to further enhance and
systemize the joint training work by different border and law enforcement agencies with
respect to joint training courses for the staff of different academies and joint curriculum
development.
In 2010, ten operational managers of the law enforcement agencies received support and
assistance by the OSCE to attend regional and international events promoting democratic
principles and best practices in policing. Five experts from Tajikistan participated in the
Workshop on Promoting the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Public Key
Directory (PKD). The workshop was organized by the ATU, in close co-operation with the
ICAO and the ICAO PKD Board (see also 3.1).
From 29-30 April the Office facilitated the participation of the Chief of the Law and
International Relations Department of the State Committee on National Security as well as of
staff of the International Relations Department of the Executive Apparatus of the President of
the Republic of Tajikistan in a workshop on the 2005 Universal Legal Instruments against
Terrorism and the Implementation of their Provisions in National Legislation in Vienna. The
workshop was organised by ATU, in partnership with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime
(UNODC) Terrorism Prevention Branch (see also 3.1).
From 20-22 July, the Office facilitated the participation of three Law Enforcement Officials
from the General Prosecutor’s Office, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ministry of Justice in a
workshop on enhancing international co-operation in criminal matters. The purpose of this
senior practitioner’s workshop, jointly organized by OSCE and UNODC, was to facilitate
capacity building of the national criminal justice system, with emphasis on the Central Asian
region, to improve national and international legal co-operation and information exchange
between investigative agencies and central authorities from Central Asian region and other
concerned countries.
From 13-14 October, the OiT facilitated the participation of the Director of the Centre for
Strategic Research in an expert conference on preventing terrorism in Astana.
In order to enhance co-ordination and information sharing between International
Organizations and donors, the OiT, in 2010, maintained and up-dated two matrixes in
English and in Russian covering information on border related projects (any projects linked
with border issues, e.g. law-enforcement, cross-border trade) in Tajikistan, as well as border
and law enforcement-related training in Tajikistan. Information was provided by the members
of the Borders International Group (BIG). Moreover, the Office provided border and lawenforcement-related project information for the UNODC / Paris Pact sponsored internet
based Automated Donor Assistance Mechanism (ADAM)21. In addition, the OiT organized
meetings of the BIG Sub-group on Border and Law-Enforcement training. Chairmanship of
the meeting rotated between the OiT’s police unit and border unit.

The Automated Donor Assistance Mechanism (ADAM) is an Internet-based tool for the co-ordination of technical
assistance in the field of counter narcotics (i.e. supply and demand reduction). This tool has been developed by UNODC
within the framework of the Paris Pact Initiative, a UNODC-led partnership of more than 50 countries and international
organizations, which aims to counter traffic in and consumption of Afghan opiates. ADAM is designed to automatically
provide partners with essential information in order to avoid the duplication of activities and projects, as well as coordinating donor assistance.
