About

The aim is to raise awareness of senior representatives of customs, border guard, transport and other relevant border-related agencies in OSCE participating States in Central Asia and the South Caucasus - as well as two of the OSCE's Asian Partners for Co-operation, Afghanistan and Mongolia - of how a lack of integrity in their work negatively affects the economic and security situation of their respective countries.
