Study Report of Palestine Territory and Afghanistan

The study report, approximately 20 to 35 pages, will include an introduction (based on the review) to the context, an assessment of the current state of SSR, and further challenges, in the Palestinian Territories and Afghanistan, an assessment of the impact of EU actions and support to this field, and a primary set of conclusions and recommendations for developing the future action both in the region/area as well as on a wider level. Building on the review, prepared as part of Task 4.1 and 4.2., on SSR in the Palestinian Territories and in Afghanistan, a field study visit will be conducted to the Palestinian Territories and Afghanistan. During the visit to the Palestinian Territories, interviews will be conducted with senior level officials of EUPOL COPPS, EUBAM Rafah, the US Security Coordinator and selected EU Member State representatives, engaged in the support of reform of the Palestinian security sector; as well as with local counterparts representing the Palestinian Civil Police and Palestinian Criminal Justice Institutions, in order to deepen the assessment of the desk study (on the current state of SSR), and to gather experiences gained through EU and international engagement in this field.
