The Project is implemented in Armenia to further strengthen the capacities of the national authorities to tackle cross‑border organized crime and to enhance independent border management capacities.

The assessment focuses on evaluating the training and educational ecosystem and identifying gaps and opportunities for alignment with EU/Frontex frameworks.
