2 p. : ill.The independent final evaluation of the Global Programme on Border Security and Management was commissioned by UNOCT to assess programme performance against its intended results, draw lessons and best practices, and provide recommendations to inform programme re-design. The scope of evaluation covers the period 2017-2023. The evaluation found that the BSM programme is relevant at the strategic level of the UN and at national, regional and global levels; demonstrates coherence with Member State-specific interventions in border security; exhibits effectiveness in enhancing border security and counter-terrorism capabilities and establishing robust inter-agency communication and collaboration; and demonstrates efficiency in both its activities and outputs, particularly in the delivery of training content. The evaluation provided eight recommendations accepted by the Programme Team in its management response. UNOCT/UNCCT has initiated the development of a revised BSM programme that addresses both the recommendations and changes to the threat landscape, while support continues including through the Integrated Border Stability Mechanism and cooperation with the Global Counterterrorism Forum on BSM good practices.
