Today, the National Security Council staff, jointly with the EU
funded and UNDP implemented "Supporting Integrated Border Management
in the South Caucasus" (SCIBM) Programme, presented its objectives
and current achievements.
On the eve of the adoption of the 2011-2015 Integrated Border
Management (IBM) Action Plan by the Government of Armenia, the
objective of this meeting was to present the implemented activities
in the area of IBM by the Armenian authorities and plans for 2011,
as well as to provide information on the SCIBM programme goals,
objectives and accomplishments.
"Improving border management for better governance and economic
development is one of important programmatic areas for UNDP in Europe
and CIS. It is also one of the main areas of UNDP's partnership with
the European Union," said Dafina Gercheva, UN Resident Coordinator,
UNDP Resident Representative in Armenia. She further reiterated UNDP's
readiness and commitment to continue its support to the Government
of Armenia in its efforts to implement this ambitious reform program.
Panel speakers also included Arthur Baghdasaryan, Secretary of the
Armenian National Security Council, and Jean-Christophe Gaynard,
Acting Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia.
Heads of diplomatic missions accredited to the Republic of Armenia,
representatives of international organizations, as well as the
responsible authorities of the border management agencies and
representatives of NGOs dealing with regional development attended
the event.
"Supporting Integrated Border Management Systems in the South
Caucasus" (SCIBM) is a UNDP implemented and EU-funded programme
with an overall budget of EUR 1,403,000. The aim of the programme
is the establishment of integrated border management principles and
operational techniques in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, as well
as enhancement of inter-agency, bilateral and regional co-operation
between the South Caucasus countries, EU Member States and other
international stakeholders. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the
movement of legitimate persons and goods across borders, while at
the same time maintaining those borders secure from illegal activity.
