Eastern Partnership IBM Capacity Building Project

2018-11-29

Over the last four years, the Eastern Partnership IBM Capacity Building Project led by Frontex helped expand the ability of the border guards and customs officers of the six Eastern Partnership countries - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine - to guarantee internal security and facilitate legitimate movement of people and goods across borders. As part of the project, more than 600 border guards and 600 customs officials have been trained by Frontex. Topics covered at over 80 courses included document checks, interview techniques, screening and identification of nationalities, combatting trafficking in human beings and fundamental rights.
