Mission and objectives
For two decades, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been helping make the world safer from drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism. We are committed to achieving health, security and justice for all by tackling these threats and promoting peace and sustainable well-being as deterrents to them.Because the scale of these problems is often too great for states to confront alone, UNODC offers practical assistance and encourages transnational approaches to action. We do this in all regions of the world through our global programmes and network of field offices.
Context
The mission of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is to contribute to the achievement of security and justice for all by making the world safer from crime, drugs, and terrorism.Current UNODC Programme for Central Asia (2022-2025) was officially launched on 24 November 2021. The Programme for Central Asia 2022.2025 represents the overarching strategic framework under which UNODC provides technical assistance within the Central Asian States. It builds on previous UNODC assistance within the sub-region and aims to deliver effect in an integrated and comprehensive manner rather than a series of standalone projects. The programme is coordinated via the Regional Office for Central Asia, in Tashkent, and technical assistance is delivered via the UNODC Programme Offices in Astana, Almaty, Bishkek, Dushanbe and Ashgabat. The Programme for Central Asia aims to enhance both national level capabilities within and develop increasing sub-regional cooperation between the Central Asian States.UNODC uses external communication and public relations to strengthen its visibility and to enhance the efficiency of the UNODC’s support to national counterparts within responses in line with its mandate. The role of external communication and public relations communications is to promote effective work in line with the SDGs and UNSDCF priorities, as well as to address the needs that may arise. Considering the current needs, UNODC Programme Office in Kazakhstan would like to engage with National UNV, who can support the office in promoting the visibility of UNODC ROCA Sub-Programme 2 and 4 (ROCA SP2/4) projects’ activities.
