This project aims to improve the capabilities of state security and law enforcement agencies in Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, for planning and carrying out intelligence operations to prevent attempts to traffic nuclear or radiological materials. Project activities include: (1) assessing capabilities, needs and gaps in each country; (2) developing a train-the-trainer cadre of national trainers; (3) facilitating the delivery of nationally-tailored training in each country, delivered by national experts, and with a strong focus on intelligence operations, and how to strike balance between regional information sharing and the protection of sensitive information; (4) organizing and facilitating peer-to-peer workshops to exchange best practices and lessons learned from actual radiological/nuclear trafficking cases; and (5) organizing and delivering a regional tabletop exercise focusing on a scenario involving the trafficking of radioactive material through multiple countries.
