Within the framework of the UNODC Regional Programme for Eastern Africa (2016-2023) and its respective mandates, UNODC, through its Regional Office for Eastern Africa (ROEA) and its Transnational Organized Crime and Terrorism Prevention Programmes, in close coordination with the Terrorism Prevention Branch in the headquarters, aims to promote and support effective responses by Member States in Eastern Africa to transnational organized crime and terrorism at the legal, policy and technical levels in accordance with the rule of law and human rights standards.
