The objective of the ACCBP is to enhance the capacity of key beneficiary States and government entities to prevent and respond to threats posed by international criminal activity by providing transfer payment assistance in a manner consistent with international anti-crime and human rights obligations, norms and standards. In doing so, the ACCBP contributes to improving Canada’s national security, and the security of Canadians abroad, by addressing global transnational security threats, with a focus on the Americas. The Program also builds on previous crime program commitments that support regional and multilateral initiatives that focus on global crime issues.
