Overview
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has been resident as a Project Office in Bulgaria since 1999. It started with a regional Joint UNDCP - Phare Programme for Strengthening Drug Law Enforcement Capacities in Southeastern Europe.
UNODC RPOSEE Officers undertake the delivery and facilitation of day-to-day project activities at a national and regional level, acting as an interface with the local beneficiary coordinators and ensuring local compliance with the agreed integrated Work Plans. This field-based approach ensures avoiding duplication with other national and region initiatives and assists to highlight gaps where projects could be identified for future development and funding.
Currently, RPOSEE is a network of seven offices - RPOSEE, based in Bulgaria and six satellite project offices (Albania, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Turkey), and is implementing 12 national and regional projects. RPOSEE has scaled up its interventions to fight drugs and crime and has also implemented SEE components of the global projects on the Paris Pact Initiative and the United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT). In addition, it has been possible to consolidate and lunch the Regional Programme to promote the Rule of law and Human security in SEE.
 Along with all regional and national projects, RPOSEE launched at the beginning of 2009 the project
Development of monitoring instruments for judicial and law enforcement institutions in the Western Balkans
implemented by UNODC in partnership with the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control affiliated with the United Nations (HEUNI), the Joint Research Centre on Transnational Crime (TRANSCRIME) and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), with the support of the Commission of the European Communities.
