The Command and Control Centre will significantly improve overall communication and coordination of activities among the border and customs agencies working under the umbrella of the General Administration for Border and Crossings. The General Administration for Border and Crossings’ Command and Control Centre is the core structure, essential for an efficient Integrated Border Management of the Palestinian Authority.

EUBAM Rafah recently concluded a training series on information management for a group of General Administration of Border and Crossings (GABC) female officers. The training was a part of the Mission’s Quick Impact Project (QIP) aimed at preparing GABC female staff members via specialized trainings for senior level management positions. The QIP is a part of a long-term EUBAM Rafah’s efforts dedicated to promotion of gender equality and mainstreaming.
