From 27 to 29 September 2022, the Border Management Programme in Central Asia held national workshop in Tashkent on risk analysis for representatives of the border guard, customs and law enforcement agencies engaged in the border management of Uzbekistan.

The workshop introduced participants to the good practices of implementation of risk analysis systems in EU Member States institutional regulatory framework and reviewed implementation of the risk analysis in the national context.

During the workshop, experts from the State Border Guard College of the Republic of Latvia and the Riga Technical University reviewed the national legal framework in the field of risk analysis on border security issues and developed recommendations for the implementation of a systematic and unified approach by state agencies at the strategic, operational and tactical levels.
