The success of PCCP is reliant on its key partnerships with the WCO, INTERPOL, ICAO and UNOCT. The WCO is a core implementing partner of both original programmes; this includes the provision of training and its standardization through the WCO’s relationship with the CCP, and a focus on analysis, the study of trends and adaptation of training content that has occurred through an analysis/data driven relationship between WCO and AIRCOP. INTERPOL and UNOCT, on the other hand, have been AIRCOP specific partners, with particular focus on data collection and analysis for INTERPOL and a joint implementation with the Terrorism Prevention Branch of the UNOCT-led Countering Terrorist Travel Programme, respectively. ICAO will continue to be a valuable partner for PCCP, for example in the area of aviation specific security training activities.
PCCP has also partnered/cooperated, with many additional organizations in order to provide specialized expertise to PCCP trainings or involvement in key operations. These include, but are not limited to, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad), the North Atlantic Fisheries Intelligence Group (NAFIG), the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the World Shipping Council, ERCAIAD (Columbian Police Academy), Brazilian International Police Cooperation in Airports (INTERCOPS), the Airport Security Academy of Argentina, the West Africa Regional Training Centre in Accra as well as the Joint Regional Communications Centre of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS). Additional opportunities and partnerships continue to be explored.
In addition, PCCP also benefits from numerous partnerships with private sector actors to promote cooperation, ensure supply chain security and minimize unnecessary infringements on legitimate trade and passenger movement through seaports, airports, and land border crossings to effectively combat cross-border illicit trade.
The excellent results of the programme wouldn’t have been possible without the support from the following donors: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the European Union, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, DCAF/Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America as well as UNDP and CITES. PCCP training activities also benefit from in-kind contributions such as the hosting of study tours and the provision of experts from national law enforcement and customs administrations including those of Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, Tunisia, Uganda and the United Kingdom.
