Abstract

In 2006 DCAF commissioned research on the Partnership Action Plan-Defence Institution Building (PAP-DIB) programme status for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova.

This volume places PAP-DIB reform needs in their national and regional contexts and considers common PAP-DIB relevant reform priorities in the region.

The study recommends which issues NATO partners should prioritise for programming assistance in terms of facilitating institutional policy and planning reforms, civilian participation in defence reforms, building transparency and accountability mechanisms, and integrating improved awareness-raising in reform projects.

This book was written on a mandate from Swiss Ministries of Defence and ForeignAffairs and as a Swiss contribution to PfP programming.
