The European Union and OSCE conclude “Organization of Border Security” course for the Border Troops of the Republic of Tajikistan

The three-week course took place from 1 to 19 September 2025 in Khorog, Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) under the framework of the EU-funded project “Stabilization of Tajikistan’s Southern Border Region with Afghanistan.”

Facilitated by experienced national instructors, the training enhanced participants’ skills in problem solving, command and control, briefing techniques, information and risk management, gender awareness, mission and exercise planning, as well as the control, execution, and understanding of decision-making processes in border security operations.

In addition, participants took part in interactive sessions delivered by UNHCR and UNICEF experts, focusing on international protection standards, child-sensitive approaches, and best practices in working with migrants and refugees.

This activity reflects the joint commitment of the European Union and the OSCE to strengthening Tajikistan’s border management capacities and supporting sustainable, locally led approaches to security and institutional development.
