Capacity Building Activities for European and Asia-Pacific Authorities

You are here: Home / Work packages / Capacity Building Activities for European and Asia-Pacific Authorities

This work package aims to improve authorities’ capability to detect, investigate and prosecute illicit waste management activities and illegal trade of waste. The capacity building activities are targeted primarily to law enforcement, customs and port authorities as well as environmental agencies and prosecutors from Europe and Asia-Pacific, and later worldwide. The capacity building activities enable these stakeholders to better understand the current waste crime trends and to learn how to integrate best detection, investigation and prosecution methods and tools into their operations.

The envisaged capacity building builds on two complementary activities:

  1. organization of multidisciplinary training sessions and 
  2. provision of webinars.

One of the key elements of this work package is to continue capacity building activities initiated in the DOTCOM Waste project and to ensure further replicability of training sessions, in order to maximise the exploitation potential of the tools and sessions developed. 

Activities

Description of work and role of partners

Multidisciplinary training sessions in Europe

The project partners will organize three 3-day-long multidisciplinary training sessions in Europe, delivered by expert trainers, with tailored contents to meet needs of law enforcement agencies, customs and port authorities, environmental agencies and prosecutors. The training sessions build on DOTCOM online training toolkit and webinars activities (http://www.dotcomwaste.eu/), research carried out and tools/forensics developed in the other work packages, and make use of the WATCH-IT APP.

Trainings will focus mainly on improving collaboration among authorities, which enforce illicit management and illegal trade in waste and investigate related crimes within Europe. A group of 25 participants from Europe will partake in each of the three sessions, and experienced instructors from the project’s consortium will facilitate their learning experience.

Project partners involved in the activity will also act as facilitators during the training sessions, by sharing their expertise and experience with participants in specific sessions. Certificate of attendance will be provided to participants, having completed the training sessions.

Multidisciplinary training session in Asia-Pacific

Similarly, the project partners will organize a three-day-long multidisciplinary training session in Thailand. The training session will focus mainly on improving collaboration among authorities, which enforce illicit management and illegal trade in waste and investigate related crimes between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. A group of 25 participants from Europe and Asia-Pacific will partake in the session, and experienced instructors from the project’s consortium will facilitate their learning experience. Project partners involved in the activity will also act as  facilitators during the training sessions, b sharing their expertise and experience with participants in specific sessions.

Webinars

To reach a wide audience of practitioners in Europe and globally, the project partners will hold 5 to 8 webinars, delivered by expert trainers. These will cover issues and topics addressed in the above activities as well as other issues identified during project implementation and through a participant needs assessment. To serve practitioners with no or limited access to internet, the partners will ensure that most of the training content can be run off-line as well.
