This project aims to enhance the capacity of national and sub-national governments to integrate wildfire risk management as a standardized component of regional, national, and local disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies. The project seeks to bolster country resilience to wildfires across Latin America and the Caribbean by supporting evidence-based decision-making for wildfire risk reduction, strengthening technical capacity for improved governance to reduce wildfire risk, and integrating sustainable wildfire management practices into national and local planning through multi-stakeholder collaboration and public-private partnerships. The intervention aligns with the principles of the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction, to which Canada is a signatory.

This Project aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of law enforcement agencies and improve border infrastructure through the provision of equipment and specialized trainings on countering violent extremism and organized crime, while institutionalizing standardized border management curriculum and SOPs in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia. The Project will enhance regional coordination through trainings, joint workshops, and operational mechanisms such as Integrated/Coordinated Border Management Committees, Joint Operations Centres, and cross-border taskforces. The Project will also reinforce community engagement and policing (CEP) and strengthen early warning mechanisms in border communities by developing standardized CEP training curriculum, monitoring frameworks, and community forums.

This three-year (2026-29) UNODC implemented project aims to disrupt illicit financial flows that enable the production and trafficking of synthetic drugs, including illicit fentanyl, and their precursor chemicals, reducing threats to global health, safety, and security. It will strengthen international cooperation and national capacities to identify, intercept, and prevent money laundering linked to synthetic drugs, while promoting chemical diversion prevention practices and information-sharing between public and private sector actors. Key activities include: (1) specialized training for financial investigative units (FIU), law enforcement, and criminal justice officials to enhance identification and interdiction of illicit financial flows tied to synthetic drug production and trafficking; (2) three meetings of the Financial Institutions Against Drugs (FIAD) network to foster increased public/private cooperation (3) developing Chemical Diversion Prevention (CDP) scoring to support regulation, investment decisions, and compliance among chemical industry partners.

This initiative aims to strengthen maritime security and disrupt criminal networks operating along key maritime mobility corridors in the North Caribbean, with a focus on Haiti. The project will enhance regional cooperation among countries including Haiti, Jamaica, The Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic. It addresses the growing threat of transnational organized crime, particularly drug and arms trafficking, by improving intelligence sharing, operational coordination, and law enforcement capabilities. Activities include joint training, strategic threat mapping, and cooperative investigations to dismantle criminal business models fueling violence and instability in the region.

This project aims to support the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to: (1) investigate and determine the full scope of the Syrian Arab Republic’s chemical weapons programme and identify all declarable elements; (2) support the Syrian Arab Republic to produce a chemical weapons destruction plan; and (3) investigate allegations of past chemical weapons use in Syria and identify the perpetrators.

This project aims to strengthen the maritime safety and security enforcement capabilities of the Regional Security System (RSS), which comprises eight Caribbean Member States. Recognizing the vast maritime jurisdiction of these states, particularly the Eastern Caribbean, whose maritime space is 128 times larger than their land mass, the project addresses critical vulnerabilities in maritime domain awareness, communications, and operational coordination. It seeks to modernize Maritime Operations Centres (MOCs) through the procurement and installation of ICT infrastructure, including secure mobile data solutions, computers, and video walls, enabling real-time communication and improved operational planning. The initiative also includes the development of updated maritime risk profiles for each Member State, certified training programs for maritime personnel in areas such as patrol craft command, search and rescue, and operations room management, and the execution of a joint maritime exercise to test the upgraded systems and skills. Gender equality and human rights considerations are embedded throughout the project, with targeted measures to ensure inclusive participation and adherence to international norms. The project is designed to be sustainable, with Member States assuming responsibility for equipment maintenance and continued training beyond the project’s end date. Ultimately, this initiative enhances the RSS’s capacity to counter transnational organized crime and environmental threats, contributing to regional and international security, including Canada’s own crime prevention objectives.
