OSCE Centre in Ashgabat
Border management
As part of its extrabudgetary project “Strengthening Border Service Capacities in Turkmenistan”, the Centre regularly organizes activities, such as advanced border patrol, maritime, alpine, medical and canine training, and workshops covering security aspects of trade facilitation. Workshops on relevant aspects of border management for participants from Turkmenistan and Afghanistan are also part of this project.
The Centre also organizes specialized training courses for navy and border security officers, customs personnel, and aviation and airport security staff on topics that range from patrolling procedures and surveillance techniques to maritime security protocols and airport safety management. The Centre trains Turkmen law enforcement officials on techniques to counter drug trafficking, strengthen travel document security, and promote a code of conduct for law enforcement.
