and reform, Azerbaijan, with a much smaller number of total activities, had only one such activity. Whereas the Project Co-ordinator in Baku was not involved in community policing, community policing accounted for the majority of activities from the Office in Yerevan. Furthermore, the Office in Yerevan devoted significant attention to addressing domestic violence and to the modernization of the police educational system. The fight against cybercrime and THB were topics of interest in both field operations. In Central Asia, the fight against transnational threats accounted for half of all activities, the highest proportion of any region, with some field operations focused almost entirely on transnational threats and border issues. Community policing was the most prominent activity in Kyrgyzstan, both within and outside the framework of the Community Security Initiative (CSI). Border security and management represented a large portion of total activities, especially in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. The fight against illicit drugs and THB also continued to receive significant attention by the field operations, as did cybercrime. All but one field operation provided support in counter-terrorism, and three provided support in travel document security. Co-operation with International, Regional and National Partner Organizations Close consultation, co-ordination and co-operation of the OSCE executive structures with other international stakeholders involved in police assistance in the OSCE participating States is crucial in order to develop coherent, holistic and complementary reform goals and strategies, deliver coherent and joint statements of goals and expectations to the national counterparts, build synergies, delegate and divide tasks, and avoid duplication of activities. In 2014, the OSCE executive structures, on the basis of the Platform for Co-operative Security of 1999, continued to co-operate with the United Nations, its structures, and other relevant international and regional organizations on police-related activities. In the field of general police development and reform, major international, regional and national partner organizations included, among many others, the Council of Europe (CoE); the European Union and numerous EU institutions, in particular Europol; the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF); the International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL); IOM; the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and many other bodies of the United Nations; and the United States International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP). The preparation and implementation of activities related to transnational threats, including organized crime, terrorism, trafficking in drugs, THB and cybercrime, entailed co-ordination and co-operation with various international, regional and national partner organizations, including, among many others, the Central Asian Regional Information and Coordination Centre (CARICC); DCAF; the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (EAG); many EU institutions; the Financial Action Task Force (FATF); the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF); IOM; the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); INTERPOL; UNODC and many other UN bodes; and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Finally, it is worth mentioning the close and trusting collaboration with the hosting authorities in the OSCE participating States and with numerous implementing partners from civil society. 16
