A project for counter-narcotics training of Afghan and Central Asian personnel was launched by NATO-Russia Council (NRC) foreign ministers in December 2005 to help address the threats posed by the trafficking in Afghan narcotics.
The project is being implemented in cooperation with the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC), which serves as the executive agent. The project seeks to build local capacity and to promote regional networking and cooperation by sharing the combined expertise of NRC member states with mid-level officers from Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Russia and Turkey host training courses for Afghan and Central Asian personnel at their specialized centres of excellence, and mobile courses are being conducted in each of the six participating countries. The Turkish International Academy Against Drugs and Organised Crime (TADOC) is one of the initiative’s key training providers. Additionally, meetings are held, such as the one in Ankara, 18-19 June 2009, to review for instance progress and planning of the project.
This specific project has already had a tangible impact on the overall counter-narcotics efforts in Afghanistan and Central Asia. Almost 1000 trainees from the six beneficiary countries have taken part in specialized courses since the initiative was launched in December 2005.
